If everyone was fit I would go with this. But it will be De jong for Ireland and SWP for Petrov - even though Petrov is a much better player, scores and assists more. Hughes doesnt seem to rate him at all and wont drop SWP.
If we want to finish in the top 4 we have to beat sides like Wigan home and away no ifs or buts.
Looking at the injuries it could be a completely makeshift defence, will be a very hard game this.
