Would like to see Kamara get rest.  Maybe start Onana instead.  Love to see an Onana set piece header.

Yeah, that’s basically it.  Particularly if we’re prioritizing the league.

Paying the best part of £600k per week for them, then I think the two forwards will start.

Where is asensios best position?

He has to start and i would have malen up top with ollie on bench.

We need to go strong here. Hopefully  spurs will be tired Thursday night as that will be  a long game. Would be great if that game went ET.

Hopefully  rashford  is fit for the bench at the minimum

If you believe he has to start, where would you play him, and why?

Well there are a couple answers to answer your question. Firstly if he plays in baileys position then for me he starts because baileys been totally hopeless most of the season.

The second is because he didnt come here  to sit on the bench. Cup game perfect opportunity to give him a debut at home. We need a injection of new blood in this team after that woeful wolves  performance

Going for a Villa win 3-1, we can do this, think the team are going to get a huge boost from the new recruits coming in.

Give all the new guys a start. Emery couldn't care less about the FA Cup so might aswell get some game time into them and likes of Maatsen and Onana too.

Martinez
Garcia, Disasi, Mings, Maatsen
Kamara, Onana
Asensio, McGinn, Rashford
Malen

Give Rogers and Tielemans a much needed breather. Konsa to take a sabbatical.

We are back to 1 game per week for a while.
No rests needed.

We need to play our very best team an twat these.

It’s been too bloody long since we have been in the 5th round.

Just win, Villa. Play whoever doesn't need a rest.

I’m losing track of who’s available. From a famine, a feast.
But I think Axel D is cup tied and Watkins is injured, Rogers and Kamara may be a bit tired and Mings may need a bit longer, so…it could be time for Barkley!

Paying the best part of £600k per week for them, then I think the two forwards will start.

And them!
