Plenty of changes and a dish best served cold.UTV.

I added a poll.

[Legion]

2-0

[cdbearsfan]

Another Archer hat-trick, when's the Fourth Round draw?

[Brazilian Villain]

Think we might win it after ET or penalties and Tuchel won't care a jot.

[olaftab]

Play the best available team Dean. We need to win this.

[Louzie0]

It’s our year.

[Nev]

I think we're on the up but perhaps not that much.

0-2

[London Villan]

Id go with as strong a line up as possible, but we won’t.

No extra time before the semis.

After penalties it is then.

[RamboandBruno]

Given the opposition i think Smith will have to go strong or face potential embarrassment, even against their reserves. However, with injuries from yesterday and Man u in mind, i also think he’ll use his squad.

Martinez

Cash
Tuanzebe
Mings
Young

Nakamba
Luiz
Ramsey

Buendia
Watkins
Traore

An unlikely 2-1 villa (Buendia, Watkins)

[Legion]

Another Archer hat-trick, when's the Fourth Round draw?

That would be wonderful.

[Meanwood Villa]

It's odd but with the win on Saturday I think he's even more likely to pick a reserve team. Which would be a shame in my book.

Steer

Tuanzebe
Konsa (c)
Hause
A Young

El Ghazi
Nakamba
Sanson
Buendia
Traore

Archer

Is what I'd go with. Or maybe start Watkins as he could do with a goal, bring Archer on when we've wrapped it up.
