If Obafemi Martins is fit, Hughton has the choice of playing a three-man attack with the little Nigerian alongside Xisco and skipper Michael Owen in a 4-3-3 formation.

Hughton: "Xisco's goal against Hull was very much a positive for us. It allowed us to rally and have the finish we did.

"He's a smashing lad. His English is reasonably good. He's an international player, and I think the goal certainly meant a lot to him, and more for the team."
