Heart says 2-1 win, head says 2-1 defeat as we never win there. On the plus side, the only time I can remember us winning there in the last 30 years was a LCQF.

Can see this one going to extra time. I imagine we'll stick with three at the back. Not sure I he'll make changes otherwise? Maybe rest bannan, gabby?

I reckon Norwich will want to win this more than any match of the season.

It's going to be tough, but we've done well in the cup so far, so hopefully we can get another victory.

3-1 to Norwich, leaving us to concentrate on our relegation scrap.

Wrong time (they are on form) and wrong team (with the Lambert association) so 3-1 to them I'm afraid

I just can't see us doing this. I think we'll lose 3-0. I can't decide wherever I'd rather win this or win at Anfield.

It's a really tough away game against one of the form teams in the country. We have a lot of spirit though and a new defensive resilience. If we can just find that spark up front we can do it. My heart says 1-0 to us. My head's not invited to vote.

1-0 to us.

Ciaran Clark header beats the keeper but is punched away by Grant Holt (who is sent off).
Bentekes penalty is saved but he runs in to score on the rebound.

When was the last time we lost to a side outside the top two? I think it was Fulham, which is a fair way back. So if we take it seriously I think we'll run them close.

But I'd prefer to win at Anfield next weekend.

I think Westwood is cup tied (Bowery also) so need to change midfield - move Herd if Vlaar fit?

A gutsy 2-1 villa win, possibly AET.
