With a potentially tricky FA Cup game

Ledley I would rest fair enough, but the others should be able to play, its only one game a week, hardly going to kill them. I do not believe any game can be taken likely, especially at a ground where the team will be looking to make a name for themselves.

Get a good healthy lead, then some of the players like Bale and Modric can be rested.

Need to give some squad players some match time - agree with Chronic's XI

Personally i would throw Danny Rose in at left back so Benny can have a rest.

I`m all for resting players if really necessary, but not at the expense of having to struggle to get a draw, and then having to play another game in a replay probably sandwiched between Arsenal and United game, it makes absolutely no sense.

Our squad players seem to get plenty of games with all the injuries we pick up, and with a third of the season still to play, I am sure they will all get a lot of playing time, without jeopordising our FA Cup chances by giving the opposition a sniff, by thinking we have fielded a weakened team. We should leave that sort of thing to Arsenal to do.

It's just because i think we would be lost without Benny at the back.

Agree with Chronic re team to field but like sea-the-stars I would put Rose into the mix and possibly youngsters on the bench too.

By the way who is this guy Nelson? Thought we had signed Ryan Nelsen.........................

Rest players who dint have great back up in those positions, for me we should rest King, BAE and Walker, as for the others I don't mind.

Saying that I think Livermore, Kranjcar, Saha and Defoe will all start.

Their last 3 games have been postponed due to a frozen pitch and unless the weather gets considerably warmer this week it will be called off again
