I can't see him wanting to make players play 3 games in 8 days. I think he'll leave one or two in but that's it, especially if we get through and have to play the next round a week later or whenever it is. 

Is it available to watch at all?

Yes, here for £10, but hopefully there are tiny little rivers available.

Maybe he means they will win courtesy of two own-goals?

Hooray, we get three sleeps between the two games. This was initially going to be 48 hrs after the Sheff game which is a piss take for elite athletes like Dougie and co. who are respectful of appropriate recovery times.

Steer
Elmo Engels (if fit) Hause Taylor
Nakamba
Lansbury Ramsey
Traore Davis Watkins

Nyland was picked ahead of Steer the last day so I'd expect that will continue. Would pick Hourihane or McGinn or anyone really ahead of Lansbury who is a waste of a shirt. I expect he will give AEG another go on the left.

Lansbury and Jota will likely feature to try and get some interest in them. Put 'em in the shop window, they both have wonderful hair that any mannequin would be proud of.
