I expect Fulham are thinking about a comfortable home win without too much bother. How can we shake them up a bit with the players available?

The first game was characterised by both teams losing possession too often and as the game went on we lost out on the second ball, fighting to get the ball back, unsuccessfully after Lualua went off. Then Christensen took charge. Let them play and we will lose by a score depending on their ability to shoot.

I think Watford played five in midfield, which we have done. I think this is superfluous and I'd sooner play two banks of four in a 4-4-2. Then on 67 minutes I would switch to a 4-3-3 with pre-arranged substitutions.

Play Holla and Ince together as DM and stiffle their attacks from midfield and play to catch them on a quick breakaway with them pushing men forward trying to break us down.
