If you want to field the strongest XI that would include March or Iziquierdo instead of Kayal surely.

Not in a 4-3-3 it wouldn’t.
Izzy will have to prove his fitness and wait for his chance.
AK deserves to keep the shirt right now.
Need to combat Millwall’s obsession with height at set pieces, it led to all their goals versus Everton. Dunk, Duffy, Stephens and Murray will all be required, as well as bringing their own games.

We would easily be a top 2 Championship team, they won’t often come up against the likes of Propper, Knocky, Ali J, Izzy, March etc. In the Championship and not in the same squad. Murray would still be a top, top striker at that level too. Take our game to them, shut the crowd up early.
I think the team Saturday (I know no Yves) was very well balanced, it needs to continue to be allowed to develop not hacked about at the potential expense of a semi-final just to keep fringe players happy.

CH will not put out his strongest team or risk certain players but he will pick a team capable of winning, as previous rounds of the FAC have shown!
More or less the same as last week except Kayal for Bissouma, and Andone for Murray if he’s fit to play. CH will start Burn and give either of Dunk or Duffy a rest I suspect......and perm any two from four with the wingers.

I think it will be basically our strongest team except for Ryan, Murray and the fullbacks. Murray will be on the bench and brought on if we go behind or aren't ahead after 60 minutes.
Eh? Top two Championship team? We were that when we got promoted. We’re in the top flight now, mate.

And yet those same Millwall donkeys scored 3 goals and beat Everton about 6 weeks ago...

Not going to happen while Chris Hughton is manager. He is a very fair man, who believes in loyalty. He will be loyal to the players that got us to this position, with minimal tweaks.

So who are you picking to replace Bissouma who is banned?
No reason not to go full strength, this is our best shot at an FA Cup semi-final for over 30 years, plus there's an international break coming up immediately afterwards.
Ryan
Montoya
Dunk
Duffy
Bernardo
Bissouma
Stephens
Propper
Knockaert
Andone
March
Only possible changes I'd consider are AJ / Izquierdo for March, Gross for Bissouma and Bong for Bernardo.

If I'm Chris Hughton, in the later years of my managerial career, I'll say all the right things about the league being important, and then bloody go for it in the cup.
Bruno / Button I think will start, but otherwise its a strong team. Its actually hard for us to be anything but strong in our front three; and I expect to see Dunk and Duffy together, just like they were at same stage last year.
For the record, 2018 QF v Man Utd: Krul, Schelotto, Dunk, Duffy, Suttner, Kayal, Propper, Gross, Locadia, Ulloa, March. Subs: Maenpaa, Bruno, Goldson, Sanders, Izquierdo, Baldock, Murray.
were Stephens and Knockaert injured / banned?

Bernardo and Stephens are both up for the press conference on Friday. You'd assume that means they're both likely to start.

Behave, I did say minor tweaks, which I guess would cover someone who is banned!
