Scores in smaller role
Wood scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Friday's 5-0 victory against Sunderland.
Analysis: Wood took only two shots during Friday's win, but that was all he needed as he got in on the goalscoring fun. The match was never close and Wood was more than good enough to put Sunderland to the sword. This is just his third goal of the season as injuries and form have limited Wood.
Ready for start
Wood (knee) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Burnley.
Analysis: Wood was an injury concern for the match after suffering an injury in his comeback to play as they took the field for a Europa League match on Thursday, luckily avoiding any setback, and is already an option Sunday. He will need to continue to build fitness as he looks ahead to the World Cup with New Zealand, having a rough season that has only seen him available for nine games due to injury after a career campaign last season.
