For me, we need to protect a few senior players. Sagna, Kolarov, Fernaninho and De Bruyne could do with a rest.

...........Willy.......
Maffeo..Tosin.Otamendi.Clichy
........Delph..Fernando.........
Navas....Iheanacho...Sterling
..............Bony................

GUNN,
Kolarov
Demichellis
Ya Ya,
Roberts
Silva
Bryan

I imagine how strong we go will depend on how far away the likes of Zabaleta, Mangala and Kompany are away from fitness.

There is literally no chance that Pellegrini is going to give two academy defenders their full senior debuts in a cup quarter final.

Definatley 0 chance for Tosin anyway, Unlikely to see nacho start either me thinks :/ Maffeo probably has the best chance of starting. I notice a lot of people want Gunn on the bench, let Richard Wright have his moment people! :P
 
This competition represents an excellent chance for us to win a trophy. Looking at whos out already this is a winnable comp for us, and given we haven't exactly piled up the Cups over the years we have no right to treat it with anything but respect.

Lets please remember the bollocks of it we made against Wigan, Middlesbrough and Newcastle Reserves on our patch, pissing away great chances to win things, and apply ourselves properly and win this tie; dropping meekly out of the domestic cups collapsed our season last year. Pick a sensible team and lets get right at them and start fast like we did on Saturday please. Do not give them any glimmer - its also against the Elephant Man ffs so do we need any more motivation?

Willy Catchit

Sagna (no other fit right back)
Otamendi
Demichelis (no other fit centre halves)
Clichy

Fernando
Snake

Navas
Ya Ya
Silva

Bony (not who Id select but Pellegrini will)

Bench
Wright
Kolarov
Fernandinho
KDB
Sterling
Iheanacho
Kean Bryan
 
I see this as being pretty much a full strength side. He's shown already that with a bigger/better squad he's not going to play shit teams just for the sake of it. We've got knocked out of several domestic cups ver the last two seasons because of that and he won't take the risk again.
 
My team would be

......................................Caballero

Sagna.................Otamendi............De Michelis.............Clichy

........................Fernando.............Delph.

........Navas.....................Silva......................Sterling

..................................Aguero


I'm resting De Bruyne, Yaya and Fernandiho as all have played a lot of games .
