Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a touch more cautious with this fixture, given where we are in the table.

Plus, we have the injury list from hell.

I hope he doesn’t start Benta. No point in endangering a player that has probably come back a couple weeks earlier than required, because of the aforementioned handicap.

As much as I’d love for us to make a run at the FA Cup this year, we also have to think long term about the potential of finishing in the top 5.

That said, many have been itching for him to give a few of the kids a go… maybe this is the game he will start Phillips or Dorrington. Give Donley some minutes too.

whatever happens we need to go out and win this game can’t afford to be out of the fa cup this early

I’m sure Burnley will rest a few but we need to take this game seriously

Full strength as much as possible. Don't play for another 9 days. Hopefully Dragusin (or another CB) is in for it, but it being on Friday they may not be.

Kulu for Sarr, Bryan for Son.

Strong as possible, maybe one of Dorrington/Phillips CB.
Got 9 days after this before our next game.

while I understand the caution, I’m sure Bents would not be back if he wasn’t ready injury wise. Needs to get mins to get back to full match fitness. 8 days rest between this one and Man Utd. I think we go as strong as we can here.

Give the full backs a break they've run themselves ragged, Emerson and Davies should be ok given they've had to do less leg work at centre half.

Dier just because there is nobody else.

If Ange follows how most other PL teams approach the FA Cup then reckon Forster starts in goal. With Sonny away not sure Richy can be risked as Veliz now injured .

obv Royal for Dragusin if doesn’t materialise. I’d keep Benta on the bench as don’t wanna over do it.

We need to take FA cup seriously.

As others have stated, I'll be gobsmacked if he goes anything less than full strength, he hopefully learnt a lesson away at Fulham and won't want to do that again. Plus we then have a break for 9 days when we play UTD before a break of 17 days before we play Brentford. It's not completely out of the question that VdV returns for the Burnley game but I'd presume he would at most be on the bench. Maddison has a chance at returning for UTD and I'd imagine we will definitely have a CB in for that game also.

Burnley I'd imagine will be....

Interesting. First, fingers crossed you’re right about return dates. Second,
I’d be amazed if Ange goes with that midfield against United

Son will be away for United.

Id say he'd go Bents, Lo Celso and Maddison...with Kuku on the right.
