Looking on the bright side, the injuries suffered by both teams ahead of the NFL clash between the Texans and the Patriots means that interesting changes will have to be made by the two coaches on the touchline.

The match at Gillette Stadium will see the Patriots look to get up and running for real, putting a pin in their terrible 1-4 record and gain some momentum in a season that hasn’t got going as of yet.

As for the Texans, they are on the opposite side of the coin, and will be aiming to extend a fantastic 4-1 record so far this season and add to smiles of the fans who have been impressed with the work done so far on the grass - despite being outscored 114-102.

However, what makes this tie especially intriguing is that fact that Houston have not won a game in New England in seven attempts.
