That is a most unexpected first 11.  It says to me that we are prioritising the cups.

Very attacking. Makes me feel more, not less nervous.

No Wood for them.

Tielemans and Rogers the only undroppables I guess.

Emery is the best manager we’ve ever had in my lifetime, but…. Playing a back 4 that has never played together is a mistake isn’t it? I mean fucking hell!  We need to win this one.

Team news - Rashford on bench

From the Beeb. I think they're a bit obsessed.

Looking at the games going on at the moment, winning this would be very good for us. Usually in this position we screw it up.

We'll win. Have no fear. Ollie to respond to this upstart Rashford with a brace.

A fuming Rogers to set up 2 and score 1

So, we're playing 2 big CB and Forest don't seem to have a big bustling CF ...
I applaud Emery's choice of starting XI: 2 pacy fullbacks, a lump of a DMF and Malen and Watkins up top.
It may work ...
