As his side seek their first home win since April, Aitor Karanka has a big decision to make. Does he keep faith with Adama Traoré, whose pace so unsettled Arsenal during last weekend’s 0-0 draw at the Emirates or recall the more tactically aware, positionally disciplined Stewart Downing? Perhaps he will find a way of accommodating both wingers while silencing those who suggested Aston Villa got the better deal when Traoré and Albert Adomah swapped clubs in August. Louise Taylor
