I'd agree with Ads on the line up, if now's not the time and this isn't the game to try something entirely new in the attacking areas then when is?

Simply can't be any worse than what we've seen so far this season. If it somehow is then we go back to Watkins, Rogers etc on Sunday, however if by some miracle we bang a few in tonight we go with something similar at the weekend.

I think there's connectivity there between Maatsen/Sancho/Malen. If Maatsen pulls inside Sancho will be used to holding width or vice versa, to pull defenders out of position/keep them stretched. Elliot I really like and he can lead the aggressive press.

3-1 Villa. Man United in the next round. Oh no wait...

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I too like Ads team. The Dortmund Connection is worth giving it a go. I just hope Unai doesn't change completely the team by throwing in a group of kids. As I've said before, give the kids a real chance to shine playing with the first team players. It's the only way to judge them.

Not convinced Sancho will start, as rumoured to be way off match fitness.

[RamboandBruno]

Yes like that team, but like has been said its debatable whether Sancho is fit. If not stick Malen out there and Watkins up top, he needs a goal.

I like ads team but if sancho is not fit this is a great alternative that rambo has suggested

A bit galling that Sancho is presumably our highest earner at the moment yet isn't up to speed. If his fitness is good (and unless there's been an injury, I imagine it is) he has to get match-practice sometime. Tonight is a game that matters little in the grand scheme so I hope we can chuck him in.
