[Sir Megson]

If Evans, Gibbs and Krykowiak are back:

In possession:

Foster
Dawson - McAuley - Hegazi
Phillips - Krycho - Barry - Brunt - Gibbs
Rodriguez - Rondon

Out of possession:

Foster
Dawson - McAuley - Hegazi - Gibbs
Phillips - Krycho - Barry - Brunt
Rodriguez
Rondon

I'd agree with this line up; my only worry is McAuley to be honest. We don't really have an alternative as I'd worry about throwing Gabr in, in a game like this. Looks like he could be another bargain like Hegazi though.

I'm expecting Sturridge to get another start in this game, although would be better if we brought him on early in the 2nd half to get his fitness and sharpness up.
