Should Oviedo not be fit, Leighton Baines could earn his first start in six weeks. Martinez added: “Leighton Baines seems to have reacted really well and the pain has eased off in his ankle.”

Put Galloway in. We're asking for trouble if we leave Willian loads of space to run in behind Baines when he gets forward. Playing Baines would be tactical suicide with the form Willian is. I see him as their only real threat and LydiateLee's post above about placing a man marker on him is a good one. Shackle Willian and this game can be won.
 
Just saw the OS advertising tickets for this game. Can't believe it hasn't sold out to be honest. I know we have been awful at home this season but even so I would have thought a cup quarter final under the lights at Goodison on a Saturday night would have sold out.

There's only a slack handful of obstructed views left.

Sadly we all know that Martinez will only see the increased attacking ability Baines provides.

Yeah to be honest mate, it done my head in when Baines went back in at the start of the season - Galloway was doing fine and we looked more solid when he was in there.

I think he'll start Oviedo regardless. I dont think Martinez has a lot of time for Baines. Rightly so, imo. He's a poor defensively.

I'm not sure Galloway looks in the best of form lately, it'd be easier to tell Baines to sit in and not bomb on. In all likelihood I think Besic will play in front of Baines much like they tried in the home league game, and be tasked with tracking Willian.

Galloway looked off form for the U21's the other night.

Baines will get the nod.

Yeah read about that - am not sure what to do, i don't know why i have felt a bit twitchy with Baines in the line up this year he hasn't quite been at his best whether its injury etc. Not sure what the solution is for tomorrow though if Oviedo defo isn't in.

My money would be on Baines with Cleverley in front of him to help provide cover against Willian
