Hoping to extend my one game winning streak. I might be delusional, but we might actually have a shot at winning the FA cup! COYI!

    Apart from Wilson, I’d be resting the entire starting 11 from Wednesday
  • alderzalderz
    I’d probably just go for it. Might win the cup and stay up

    I think Taty needs a rest... was he injured?

    Summerville I guess willl be on the bench.

    Areola
    Walker-Peters Todibo Mavro Scarles
    Magassa Soucek Kante.
    Bowen Lamadrid
    Wilson

    But I am no Lukerz

    With Liverpool, Arsenal, City and Chelsea still in it I would say we have 0% chance of winning the Cup so all I pretty much care about is not injuring the players central to our relegation fight.

    So I would rest, Summerville, Bowen, Tatty. Fernandes, Diasi, Tobido, Diouf, AWB, and Hermanson.

    We’re playing pretty well and have a decent chance of making the quarters. I definitely wouldn’t say we have zero chance of winning the cup, even though it’s very unlikely.

    I’d play everybody and try to keep the momentum going. I’d 100% rather win the cup than stay up.

    I feel totally the opposite tbh, I’d stay up everyday than win the cup, but hey, we’re all different 👍🏻⚒️

    I’ve seen us stay up loads, and I’ve seen us get relegated twice. I’ve never seen us win the FA Cup.

    Wouldn’t that get us into the Europa cup next year?

    Brentford have a fair chance of making the Champions League places. Hopefully they'll rest a few players 🤞

  • stevesteve
    Think Potts is back for this one so he should play at lest some part
  • stevesteve

    Brentford rested players against Sheffield Wednesday and Mansfield but I reckon they'll put out a much stronger side on Monday. They're 7th, just 7 points behind Villa in 4th place but they've got Chelsea in 5th and Liverpool in 6th so the Champions League seems a bit of a long shot at this stage

    This is only the third time we've drawn Brentford in the Cup, the first was in the 4th round 1926-27. We were 9th in the First Division and had beaten Spurs in the 3rd round while Brentford were midtable in the Third Division South. We drew 1-1 at home but lost the replay 2-0 5 days later

    They lost to 2nd Division Reading in the 5th round who lost to Cardiff in the semis who beat Arsenal in the final. We finished 6th

    The second was in the 3rd round three seasons ago when Benrahma came on with 20 minutes left and scored a beauty from 30 yards. He's playing in Saudi these days

    The only players left from that season are Bowen, Soucek, Areola and Fabianski while Brentford still have nine players on their books
