Our kids will struggle to beat that lot. However, we won't have a choice, games are now thick and fast.

Our kids! We didn't just play kids v Leicester and this is a semi.

I wouldn't assume anything on team selection. Let's see how things stand when we get there.

I would certainly go strong for the home leg and try to kill tie there and then.

Arsenal playing 4pm Sunday in the FA Cup so we'll almost certainly play Bristol City on Tuesday night.

Thanks. Probably best as that gives longest lead up to the Anfield PL game the following weekend. Likely our toughest remaining PL match.

For once we actually got lucky with the second leg away (often a disadvantage in 2 leg SFs). The week of the away leg (which will hopefully be like West Ham a few years back - irrelevant) we may even have no game the next weekend if we lose to Burnley in FA Cup or could have an easy home match. (Unlikely I know!)

So we have more leeway the week of the second leg. We cannot do anything about Anfield 3 or 4 days after the first leg so we are going to be thinking of that at least a little in team selection.

Well well the footballing gods are starting to appreciate the current best team in world football. And started giving us decent draws for the first time in my lifetime!

Bristol played well, won't be any pushovers especially if we play the kids. Thought their centre back and left back had really good games.

We have the january window yet as well.extra players to cover

Play strongish side in 1st leg. Kill the tie.

That won't happen as we have the Dippers the following weekend, the second leg though is between the Barcodes and Baggies games so he may strengthen if needed to make the Final

We will be playing on Tuesday and will have the dippers on the Sunday. If we play a full strength side in the first leg we should have more than enough rest days to recover in time for the trip to Anfield.

It is not as the next weekend is FA Cup 4. We could be out and have 10 days free or be back at Old Trafford!
