I’d think it surely is crucial, given that we’re 17th, owing to the 10-point deduction. Moreover, our play has been inconsistent, and just now we’re missing Gana, Doucouré, and an in-form Gomes.
Still, our players have had a bit of a break — last match 10 days ago —so I assume Dyche will set out his strongest 11, which might mean Harrison in Doucouré’s spot with McNeil and Danjuma on the wings?
