Not sure why people are suggesting weakened teams? People moan every year about us not taking this competition seriously. I want us to play a very strong team in every single round of this competition. This is the one we have the best chance of winning - no excuses.
Howard, Coleman, Stones, Jagielka, Oviedo/Browning (based on Galloway presumably being out, McCarthy, Barry, Mirallas, Osman, Cleverley, Kone/Lukaku.
I think the side I watched second half on Thursday would beat us to be honest, our first team squad is the youngest out of the 92 league clubs at a average age of just over 21, so if you do play your youngsters it's not as though it'll be men against boys. I'd see it as a pretty even ish match up, hoping you turn up like that first half last Thursday.
