15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Scott Hogan suffering a number of foals already.

45' Trai Hume has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 45.
46' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jordan James on 46 minutes.
51' It’s high time Tony Mowbray made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Patrick Roberts made 205 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
