Big selection issues for Bilic

With Andy Carroll is fit for tonight’s clash against Huddersfield boss Slaven Bilic has to decide whether it will be him or Diafra Sakho who partners Javier Hernandez up front.

And he may have to make an even bolder decision about captain Mark Noble’s involvement as he approaches the must win game.

Bilic could name a three at the back formation with Winston Reid, Angelo Ogbonna and James Collins likely to get the nod.

Pablo Zabaletta and Aaron Cresswell are set to fill the wing back positions with the intriguing possibility of Cheik Kouyate teaming up with Pedro Obiang in central midfield.

With Michail Antonio returning to his favoured right wing spot it seems slight odds on that Sakho will start the game with Carroll appearing at some stage.

Possible line-up: Hart; Zabaleta, Reid, Ogbonna, Collins, Cresswell, Kouyate Obiang, Antonio, Sakho and Hernandez
