Sorry guys, I assumed the yelling during the Chelsea match would wake me up early enough to get the lineups in before publishing...turns out I was wrong.

So Benty got boo'd and we've got Heskey in for Bannan. Why am I awake, exactly? I was hoping for perhaps an epic Cattermole - Hutton collision, but not even that is going to happen.
