Now that we're essentially back to full fitness we ought to be a great shape for the replay. Here's what I would go with:

Vorm
Alderweireld Sanchez Foyth
Aurier ------------------------------------ Rose
Wanyama Winks
Lamela ------------------------ Son
Llorente
The biggest question mark for me is whether to play Son or Dele, I went with Son as I think he's got more goals in him right now. Should be a fun one to watch with a number of exciting players returning to action and getting their fitness levels up.

Dembele was magnificent second half today, he should be nowhere near this game that's all I know.

Absolutely crucial he's fresh for the NLD, as we all know if we're aggressive with Arsenal we can bully them despite their shiny new attack.

I don't know who should play but I know who I'd like to rest :

Erikson, Son, Dembele, Verts, Davies, Kane, Dele

Will be interesting to see who plays at right back. These are the matches where you want to see the likes of KWP but it's an opportunity for Aurier, who obviously has a more important role in the squad this season, to get his fitness and match sharpness back after a few weeks out.

It would be a shame for KWP to miss out but IMO it would be more prudent to play Aurier.

I’m actually really glad we have this replay.

I think we have 10 players who are in need of minutes for various reasons so it can only benefit them:

Vorm
Aurier Toby Foyth Rose
Wanyama Winks
Sissoko Lamela Dele
Llorente

First off, I think we will smash newport at wembley.
Second, Poch needs to play as few first 11 players as possible, and those coming back from injury. That means, Vorm, Kyle WP, toby, rose, Llorente, Sissoko, winks, Moura etc etc

Fine balance with this one, the cup is a competition we can win so we have to go through. If not there is the situation of one of the biggest cup upsets ever.
A bit of rotation will ensue but momentum is needed to ensure that win takes place. Poch's choices will be interesting, only certains I can see are Vorm, Rose, Aurier, Foyth, Wanyama and Sissoko

I really hope Pochettino doesn't go strong for this, Kane and other key players shouldn't be anywhere near the bench.
