Our defence is going to be sternly tested again by a different threat

A physical one with plenty of direct balls into their front men.

If I was Dyche, I’d let us have plenty of the ball and defend in numbers, force emi and stieps deep and then try and win it back 40 yards out. West Ham did this and it allowed their attacks to go ahead with basically just trybull and our defence to beat.

I think we’re most vulnerable when we are attacking a packed defence relatively slowly. We commit numbers forward and are susceptible to a direct break

Tettey is going to be key.
