|After the exhilaration of the win at Chelsea on Boxing Day came the cold light of day with another home game just two days later. Several managers have complained about the sheer number of games and the impossibility of adequately preparing for and recovering from them.
There were inevitable changes, given the number of games at this time of year, but they were limited to Boufal in for Armstrong, who was on the bench and Ings, who returned in place of Obafemi, who was rested.
The rest of the side remained the same as the one that had comprehensively beaten Chelsea.
Another goal for Danny Ings, already into double figures for the 2019-20 season. A striker in a rich vein of form.
