I've got a bad feeling Fellaini might start later on. West Brom are dangerous in the air. I certainly don't think we'll be seeing Mata starting.
I dunno, with Micky out the other options are Lingard who isn't really much taller than Mata and Rashford who is rubbish in the air. You're probably right with Fellaini though .

What the hell is the keeper doing there?
Chelsea looking ominously good, last few games haven't been blistering performances but grinding out wins.
They're also ridiculously solid at the back, always a good sign for a potential league winner.
Also, lol @ Costa's yellow

lol, the same ref who didn't red card Rojo for two footed tackle gave Vardy a straight red for a tackle a fraction as bad.
He jumped in, but it's because he was alongside Johnson, he was tackling Johnson and not the other player. He jumped into a slide just to reach the ball first, another player came in and got caught late but the way he jumped into it, he landed before the contact, his legs were bent and it was pretty minor contact on the foot, not half way up the shin or anything.
It was a yellow probably but the intention and everything about it was a mile away from the Rojo tackle. This is a ref making up for a terrible decision by giving the next thing even remotely looking two footed as a straight red to make a point. If we had video replay Rojo would have been sent off in the last game and the ref wouldn't have been looking to make up for a huge mistake by giving a red for anything remotely similar in this game.
