The Europa League is another route into the Champions League. Winning it is a guaranteed entry, unlike fourth place in the league. We may have to stop Man Utd or Liverpool winning it to guarantee our place. We do not want another Chelscum situation.

Wow, look at that. As I write this, it's exactly 100 votes for yes and 100 votes for no.Pretty amazing huh? It also shows that Poch has a tough job I think!

I want us to go for everything, hopefully meet Untied in the Europa and hope we put the final nail in their hopes for CL.

with todays results top 4 becoming stronger, even if it don't go our way tomorrow.

Tomorrow, we have to prioritise the Prem.
Then on Thursday, we have to prioritise the EL.
Then on Sunday, we HAVE to prioritise the FA Cup.
Then on Thursday...

Still a tough call this one. Good results in all competitions can keep our momentum going. Chopping and changing too much could effect our team dynamic. But like a lot of people are saying, this kind of opportunity doesn't come along very often.

Forget Europe and go for the double.

EL is too gruelling. An extra round over CL and Thursday nights are far from ideal.

We have the opportunity to win the biggest domestic prize. Don't jeapordise that by going for a second rate Euro trophy.

We've got a good squad to handle this, I'd like to see Mason and bentelab get more game time, Son and Chadli should be fresh, and they're all young

We've fallen apart plenty of times when all we've had is the league to concentrate on

Clearly the league. Just use our squad cleverly in the EL to still have a decent go but make sure super key players are rested.

I hope we do well in EL and FA cup but if we get out of either competition it won't devastating since it will help our push in BPL. I can watch cup games without any stress really.

We need to do well in the Europa league or in a season or two we might have one less spot for cl making it harder.

League should still be main priority with EL next just behind the league and fa cup for reserves and/or youths

Definitely we should prioritise PL, especially over EL. We cant fight on 3 fronts with one striker and basicilly 2 defenders. Honestly, cant see us winning the EL. The position we are in the PL after 26 rounds is amazing. This can be once in a lifetime opportunity. PL>EL+FA in my opinion. 1.PL 2.FA 3.EL

We've not really struggled whenever we've rested players this year, whoever has come in has usually done pretty well. I think we can afford to rotate without sacrificing our place in any competition.

The biggest priority for me over the next few games is Palace. Since the Fiorentina game is two legs it may give us an opportunity to rotate in at least one of the games.

If we beat Palace then we can win that as well imo, we'd be through to the quarters and then perhaps Wembley if we get another favourable draw.

I'd be pretty confident no matter what team is selected at the moment, I have faith in the squad players to step up.

Highest placed team still left in the FA Cup. I think everyone else will be hoping to avoid us!

I think we prioritise the two domestic comps, that gives the 'first team' a game a week. EL really needs to see some sensible rotation which, as others have said, hasn't necessarily affected us too much.

Whilst I'd like us to try to win every game in every competition we're in, it must be noted that of the 6 matches we've played after the Europa League, we've won 2, drawn 3 and lost 1.

Coincidence according to many on here.....

Whatever we do we need to rest our most important players so they are ok for the league games IMO. Kane, Dier, Alli, Toby, Eriksen, Dembele and Lloris.

We can't risk injury to any one of those players when we have a genuine chance at winning the PL.
