Barton out, Sandro in

With card collector extraordinaire Joey Barton suspended for the game, Sandro could well make his return from injury.

He may not be exactly match fit but it will probably help given the Hoops will be able to keep all eleven players on the field and will not have the mistake that is waiting to happen walking the yellow card line.

Players are starting to return from injury now for the west London club and they will have a late look at Nedum Onuoha and Mauricio Isla before the game as well.
