Newport v West Ham and Lincoln v Everton are the live games. Can't argue too much with those choices.

I assume that means we stay on the Tuesday night which is good for us as it gives us the advantage of an extra day's rest. We play Everton the previous Friday. Not that I expect too many of our players to start both.

We played them in the League cup in 1974. The 'Villa Terrace' was a cinder bank and the large crowd kicked up a dust storm resulting in black snot for days afterwards.

Brilliant!

RELIVE the 1974 cup tie against Crewe by simply spending a weekend in Paris.

Going to be interesting team selection, looking forward to it.

Would be nice to have a good cup run now we actually have a bit of depth.

The club needs to develop a winning culture and mentality. The days of not caring about cup games, and being a laughing-stock, should be well behind us.

I’m confident we won’t do two things. Win the league or go down. So a cup run would be just wonderful. We need to use the squad so 4 or 5 outfield changes should be the most we gamble with chemistry. Crewe are off to a good start but I’ll still go for 3-1 to us

Steer
Guilbert
Targett
Engels
Konsa
Lansbury
Hourihane
McGinn
Jota
Trezeguet
Wesley

Subs: AEG, Luiz, Davis, Marvelous, Hause (if fit enough), Elmo, Heaton

Rest Jack and Mings

I don't believe we need to be resting too many at this point. I'd rest Mings just to be wary of that twinge he had. Steer deserves some game time.
Up top, Wesley plays for me. Let him throw his weight around about, hopefully bag a few more goals and get some momentum to take back to the league. Give him 70, give Davis or Kodjia 20 to get some game time too. Hourihane could come back in. Possibly a good time to debut Targett as well.
I'd be looking to play a strong side though.

We play Palace at the weekend and then don't play for 16 days so i'd be going with a strong lineup. Steer in and Mings rested, and then pretty much our strongest other 11, dependent on no one having any minor niggles.

Guess we could start almost full strength then hopefully give a couple of fringe players off the bench in the second half as we would hope to be in a position of comfort by then.
