We've had a really rough draw in this competition. Man Utd, Man City, Spurs. It was alright when we were playing well but now it's annoying. Why couldn't we get Sunderland at home in the quarters?
What I would say is this side has regularly come up trumps in tough situations over the last two years (just under) & these reserve players have done us proud this season so, I’m going to be optimistic

Not sure if that has implications for any other PL games coming up, if true.
Areola
Diop - Dawson - Cresswell
Fornals - Soucek - Rice - Masuaku
Vlasic - Benrahma
Bowen
Seems to be a suggestion Bowen could be available

Going to have to watch at home with some tins
Or LB with Masuaku LW 🤔
Who knows. Ashby starts though, which is nice.
Areola, Ashby, Johnson, Dawson, Diop, Masuaku, Rice ©️, Souček, Lanzini, Vlašić, Bowen
Subs: Randolph (GK), Noble, Fornals, Benrahma, Král, Yarmolenko, Baptise, Fredericks, Alese
How are we going to score?
Would have liked to see Oko-Flex get a few minutes but he is not in the squad.
Good to see Johnson, who is likely to play left-back which is not his best position, return and also Fredericks on the bench.
