Rogers will be available and should play, probably at the expense of Ramsey.

Wouldn't it perfect  game time to give ramsey  must needed minutes though?

I think both play as both will need some match fitness.

Play our strongest side available and no messing about.

Yeah could do i guess if malen is coming in soon too that gives us a extra fresh body to use as well next week vs everton.

I still think giving bogarde a start or at least minutes is vital as he may be needed at some point this season with torres injury

Julen Lopetegui looks like has got the chop with Potter favourite to come in...great.

.fantastic

We could have to face two new managers in a week

Think he will play a strongish team with a smattering of players like Maatsen / Buendia . Unsure if he will rest Martinez I'd say it's 50/50.

Would love to know what club has faced the most new managers after they sacked the last...sounds like we would be up there.

Why, is Seán for the chop too ?

I don't give a shit about new manager bounce, if you're facing a new manager it's usually because the team are shite. Remember that and funeral them.

Apparently  so mate

Weirdly, with the strength of the Premier League, it's probably harder to win the FA cup than it is to win the CL (once you're in it).  So, I don't think the FA cup is our best chance of silverware anymore and so I'm more in the 'rest some players' camp than the 'go strong as possible' one. 

Do we know why has the club allowed West Ham to have so many tickets?  Because they didn't think we'd sell out?

Cup games always give more allocation to away fans than league games.
