Good article. I'd add Grealish to the list as well as I think he looked like he could do with a breather as much as Gil could do with a start.

I agree Dave, no risks with our top players before Wembley!

I have a feeling Ron Vlaar will out perform everyone at Wembley. Our chances of winning could well depend on him rising to the occasion.
Also Carles Gil should be on the bench to replace Jack Grealish should he not be effective.

Agreed Dave - rest those mentioned plus Grealish...and I believe Okore has been playing with an injury too.
It will be good to be playing a pressure-free game and to give a chance to those on the fringes - Gil, Sinclair, Weimann, Lowton, Gardner, Senderos...does Gabby need match practice? - he looked lacking when he came on, on Sat.

Gardner can't play. It's already been mentioned on several threads that none of the loanees are eligible due to them being on "rest of the season" loans, which expire on 30th June.
But yes, I'd be playing some of the fringers.....

It certainly feels unusual to not be threating about relegation.

Spot on Dave. And that really is an amazing fact that this is the only home game we can relax in since 2011.

I certainly wouldn't risk N'zogbia, he hasn't done his one exceptional performance per season yet.
