The Fan Zone

Jay Crame (The Eagles Beak): The Eagles look to continue their unbeaten run of form stretching to 16 games in all competitions in what has been a busy start to the season. Oliver Glasner will be looking to take advantage of the hosts disappointing start to the season with a squad that will be bouyed by the likely return of Adam Wharton and Eddie Nketiah. The new signings have shown glimpses of what they are capable of already and only a matter of time before they really contribute.

Prediction: 0-2
