Our next game is at Chelsea in the league cup on Wednesday night and it presents a bit of a quandry.
1) Chelsea are a good side, Frank will want to win this game and the trophy itself so can put out a strong team whilst resting players for the weekend.
2) We're starting to build some morale boosting momentum and easing players back from injury into the side
3) This cup matters not a jot to us at the minute, EL and PL are the focus however we may not have the depth to rest a string of players.
Personally I think we play the kids and the has beens even if we take a hiding.

Lingard--------------Greenwood---------------Chong
Williams to RB if Shaw is back. Unfortunately I think we'll see Matic and Mata play in the same team again.

I think both teams will be pretty good, as with both sides having so many injuries, it will be a medium strength side from both.

Mix of kids, fringe players and those needing minutes on the pitch.

I’d like us to really go for it. Winning can become a habit, and always nice to get one over a big team, no matter their form.

The form Chelsea are in I think we should write this off. The cup isn't a priority of ours, SB is a hard place to go anytime and they will want retribution.
Play the kids, add those who will not feature on the weekend.

We should win this on form...depends on how the managers see this comp...it's mickey mouse at best, expect 6 changes per side, & we'll see
