Pre-match views from the Match Thread:
Imp13: “Reckon we’ll see a fairly different side to what was given last week.”
Rasenimp: “I think it’ll be strong but I’d be surprised after a 90 mins, energy-sapping high press against a decent side if there isn’t a little bit of an eye on a home game at the weekend. Was a unique position to be in last week after a break.”
Scotimp: “O’Connor, Mandroiu, Duffy and Shodipo on yellow cards – I’ll be surprised if the first two start, considering it would be Bolton next.”
