And here’s EVERYTHING Steve Bruce has said ahead of the encounter – including a significant injury update on Matt Ritchie.
5. Shelvey's "kick up the backside"
"He responded in the right way to being left out, trained the right way, the emergence of Matty has given him the kick up the backside he needed. We all know Jonjo is a very decent player. He set the standard last week and hopefully he will repeat that this week." Photo: Ian MacNicol
6. Bruce urges patience with young frontline
"We know that they have still got to score, but good for Joe to make one, I know they are a threat. Given time, they are young, they are getting used to playing in England, whoever you are whatever price tag, when you are trying to adapt to the Premier League it takes time." Photo: Ian MacNicol
