Omer made five changes to the starting XI that defeated

Omer made five changes to the starting XI that defeated Swansea City in the South Wales derby last time out, with some enforced changes and some rotation.




Omer Riza:


“We had injuries today, with Callum O’Dowda out, Alex Robertson was ill and Ollie Tanner took a nasty knock on his foot against Swansea, so we had to make five changes. Our squad is there for that purpose, we have a good squad to do this.”

"They’re all chomping at the bit to play. We could have done some things better in the game, but once we got the lifeline before half-time, we thought about how we’d approach the second half and we approached it brilliantly."
