Ollie, Mings and SJM to start at Wembley?

Apart from Ramsey instead of McGinn, that was the team against PSG. Will be interesting to see if we can replicate the better part of that game this time.

No McGinn or Watkins is a massive call.

McGinn too pissed to start after boozing with Drummond earlier. Other than that, looks good to me. Plenty of rotation with Mings, SJM and Ollie kept fresh to start against Palace.

Ollie may have his arse in his hand, but with the squad we’ve got and the cup semi on Saturday, rotation has to be the key

Tielemans and Rogers starting is now obviously the law.
To be able to change the starting 11 so much and still put a team out like that is just incredible.

I can't remember the last time we played them and thought our starting 11 and bench is better than theirs.

Five changes  from Saturday, but you’d struggle to argue which is the stronger first XI.

We’ve a frankly absurdly strong squad.

Play like we have the past two games and Citeh won’t live with us.
