Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke’s absence from the clash with the Hammers at the weekend is a huge plus for the Irons.
ClaretandHugh’s top analyst Leroy Rosenior reckons the big fella was coming back to his best against Spurs at the weekend and that his sending off and resulting suspension for the Boleyn match is “fantastic” news.
He said: Benteke is their focal point – a mega presence and not having him to worry about him makes – or should make – life considerably easier for us.
