The squad came through the clash against Newcastle at St James’ Park with a clean bill of health apart from the usual bumps and bruises allowing Moyes to stick with the team which has collected four points from the last two games.
It means that despite a late appearance from Mark Noble the midfield of Rice, Faornals, Soucek and Bowen looks all set to continue against Sean Dyche’s outfit.
One source explained to CandH that Noble was given a late run out to give him some minutes as we head into the final games with match fitness after injury important.
The manager may take a keen look at Lanzini’s form but remains unlikely to recall Anderson and once again it would seem likely that Yarmolenko will be used as an impact sub either for Fornals or Antonio who has been running hinself into the ground since restart.
