Poch won't do it but I'd like to see Trippier played again with a view toward Aurier starting in the league next weekend. On form Serge deserves to be first choice at the moment.
Other than that I think Kane, Son, Eriksen, and Dembele need a rest and I'd look to give Sanchez, Wanyama, Winks, Lamela, and Dele runouts to build their fitness and sharpness, then sub Lamela off around the hour mark to keep him fresh for Huddersfield.
So for me it'd look like this:
Gazza
Trippier Sanchez Vertonghen Davies
Wanyama Winks
Lucas Lamela Dele
Llorente
to be honest if we was to play KWP at Right back, we then have to decide who we want to play v Barca. so KWP v Watford, Trippier v Huddersfield, and Aurier v Barca
It didn't reek of fatigue but this is still a great opportunity to rest him and play Son through the middle.
to be honest with the WC quickly followed by the Asia Games, I'd be tempted to rest Son for this.
As others have said it's the easiest comp to win, providing City, Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool don't get to the latter stages. if any of those teams reach the semi's they will play a strong line up if facing another top 6 team.
Gazza
KWP Sanchez Dier Davies
Wanyama Winks
Lucas Lamela Dele
