                         Emi

Cash    Konsa     Longlet    Moreno

          Kamara         Luiz

Bailey          Tielemans       McGinn

                     Watkins

Gerrintoem!

It's going to be a difficult team selection for Emery. Chelsea caused us a lot of problems in the first 45 mins last week but have fallen apart since in the league. Rotation options are limited bar bringing Cash back in. He might be tempted to try Ramsey but he's still not at it really.

Got one half an hour ago.

25 quid for very good Trinity view. Fair play pricing as it should be

I've claimed my own seat but if we get through and the prices are the same for the next round, I might sit there. Not sat in the Trinity for years.

Really good view and being totally honest more space on the concourses than elsewhere

Logic dictates we should win, but it's us in the FA Cup. Cue another Everton type display.

Really hard to predict isn't it? Wank against Newcastle, great Saturday, Chelsea up and down but still have decent players and it's the FA Cup which is hard to predict at the best of times.

I would take winning the FA Cup over ANYTHING this season.

I know the counter-argument is that Champions League football would add money to the club coffers for FFP, but a bank account doesn't put trophies in the cabinet. Ideally, I'd want both - But cup success will always come before league position for me (unless we're in with a chance of winning a title!).

...and this particular trophy - SIXTY SEVEN YEARS and counting!

I think riding on the crest of Saturday's performance we'll win this one.  Ollie looks unstoppable again.

Bit concerned about our defensive depth.  Konsa looked like he was really struggling, but hopefully only a knock.  Every time Moreno goes down it's heart-in-the-mouth time.

Yes. Habit/tradition/superstition. Working quite well this season so far.

Rogers is cup tied.

When did that stop a Villa team playing someone?
