"Does the Sky midweek thing apply to the cup tonight or is that only the Championship games?"
pretty sure thats only championship games as it ties in with IFollow and thats for EFL teams only not prem teams
I would love for us to really go for the cup's , strongest team where possible , but the reality is and always will be ... the prem comes first and has priority so will always have the best players held back for it to keep them fresh and injury free.
I can understand the prem comes first after...
given the defensive injuries ... line up could now be
Button
Bernado - Balogun - Barclay - Suttner
Ali J - Kayal - Bissouma - Gyokeres
Gross
Locadia
should be good enough to give Saints a run for their money
can imagine the full back four changing ... so ...
Button
Bernardo White Barclay Suttner
Ali J Kayal Bissouma Gyokeres/Tilley
Gross
Locadia
as Gross had a sub appearance at the pool I think would be a good idea to pair him & Locadia up to get some kind of understanding going
