Danilo Oliveira - Returns off benchDanilo came off the bench for the final eight minutes of Sunday's 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

ImpactDanilo was reportedly back in training but not expected to play. It appears the extra day to recover Saturday was enough to get Danilo back on the pitch. Once fully fit Danilo should compete for a role in the starting XI, though after the impressive win over Aston Villa that return might be delayed until after the international break.

ImpactAina notched his first goal of the season, opening the scoring in the fifth minute with a long-range shot that found the bottom corner of the goal.

Emiliano Martinez - Concedes twice in defeatMartinez registered one save and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

ImpactMartinez was beaten once in each half, both times by long-range shots. He was unfortunate with the second goal, as his initial diving one-handed save resulted in the ball bouncing back into the goal, which he was unable to stop. The goalkeeper has now conceded in five straight games; however, this is the first of those games in which he's allowed more than one goal. Next, he will face off against Fulham, a team that has managed only nine goals in 11 matches.
