FWIW I think we will win, I just am not expecting the win on Thursday to provide us with a wave of momentum - although, the second leg being away and this being the first time at home since we went through, maybe the crowd are really, really up for it.
I also would have tried someone else up top for this match and I would not have played Rice and Souckek as I worry our engine room in midfield will overheat and need replacing at some point. Kral or Noble sitting, with Rice just ahead in the Soucek role would be a worthwhile experiment.
They have just shown it again, from a distance, didn't look that bad a tackle, but guessing his foot got caught nastily (in the turf) as they've not shown it properly again in close up as they usually do; apparently it's a problem with his ankle.
Looks like a very serious injury. Vlasic is very distressed. Our players consoling Vlasic. Nice to also see a Burnley player come over and console Vlasic.
A coming together but nothing special, they are not replaying it, must have got his studs stuck in the turf and suspect his leg buckled, Vlasic looked back and was obviously distraught

Our last defeat was 2-3 at home to Leeds (mid January) & before that we beat Norwich 2-0 & Leeds 2-0 in the FA Cup.
So 1 defeat in last 10 home games, with 7 wins.
Burnley are doomed...

That's the team
Moyes didn't say anything about Zouma at the press conference on Friday'
19yo Nathan Collins for Ben Mee at the back, Cornet for Gudmundsson on the right and Weghorst instead of Wood up front
Burnley player down, looking a serious injury.
Vlasic was our player involved, looks really upset
Doesn't look good
