Hopefully GP fields a blend of youth and experience. The Carabao Cup selection was a bit too youthful in my opinion. Guess at least it's less fixtures to worry about!

This will be a massive result for us if we win this after the astonishing fixture pile up we’ve had. A real test of our massively talented squad.

Anyone know whether any of the international networks pick up FA cup games? (in addition to the UK shown games)

You would be doing me a massive favour if you can point me in the right direction

Just happy we got this far, it's our cup final so I'm at peace with a mauling by a footballing giant.
