I see no reason to risk anyone

I can see a line up like that, or like @MeatHunterrr 's:

Steffen
Cancelo
Laporte
Stones
Mendy
Fernandinho
Bernardo
Foden
Torres
Mahrez
Jesus

TBF to Pep - he takes all cup games very seriously and I believe also sees playing a strong team as a sign of respect to an opposition such as Cheltenham (no put down intended there)

Better to play a fairly strong team - get 2 or 3 up and then make changes

Thing is - we can rest so many top players and still play a very strong team

We are so lucky to have the squad we have

 

[oddfellows]

Steffen
Garcia
Laporte
Harwood-Bellis
Mendy
Zinchenko
Doyle
Palmer
Mahrez
Jesus
Torres

Probably been asked but is this on regular Bbc1? Or do I need to watch on bbc iPlayer?

BBC1 today, if anyone plans to record it make sure you pick BBC1 HD. Always catches me out that! :P

Breaking News: Looks like Cheltenham could get Swansea in next round.

I like that team but taking your point about risk I would swap Doyle for Foden. Also isn’t Palmer more of a wide player?

It's on BBC1 & also on red button. Presumably it's a with/without added crowd noise option. Presumably same idiots commentating though unfortunately.
