Dopo 4 sconfitte nelle ultime 5 gare, contro lo Stoke dell'ex Mark Hughes (un ottavo posto con i cottagers due stagioni fa prima che la sua smodata ambizione lo portasse a. . . retrocedere col QPR) Jol ha l'ultima occasione per far vedere che è in grado di far funzionare la squadra e il tandem Be&Be, perchè Gengis Khan non lo ha scelto e non credo che lo difenderà tanto a lungo.
Mancheranno Parker, Hughes e Dejagah per infortunio.

Asmir Begovic will also make his 100th appearance for the club.
