This will be an interesting one.
They don’t usually field a full strength team for this competition, but, after yesterday, will they be full on for revenge?
I expect a different approach from us this time
Can see this going extra time/penalties

This totally depends on how they both view it. I’m thinking that they will make almost a team worth of changes and I’m sure we’ll make a few too. Should be a good game with players all over with something to prove. 2-1 to us

Emery seems to like cup competitions so I’d like to think we can do them again on Thursday.

We're on 6/9 points since the food references began, good idea to keep it going.

And of course pintxos are a nod to the Basque Country where Emery was born.

Here are some pintxos I had in San Sebastián last week. They seem to be evolving in a tight diamond, flanked by two wide Gin & Kas Limón with two glasses of albariño supporting. Growing up here eating pintxos may be how Emery developed his tactics. Who knows?

I'd like to see Sanson, Archer & Chambers given a run out. Kamara could get some more minutes under his belt. JJ said Emery has given all players a clean slate, so this would be a good chance for Emery to see what some of the others can offer.

I think we gathered that, anytime I see an 'x' where it's not really warranted it's usually Basque related. :)

Anyway 3-1 to Villa Boys. 8) Bailey, Digne and Ramsey for us, Luke Shaw for them.

Looking forward to this one. Haven't been to their place since the 1996 FA Cup semi final.
Any advice on parking and places for a pre-match pint?   UTV

I went to that game. It was dreadful and the stadium was more like a building site

My God I miss albariño. Haven't had any in years now.
