I think there is a big difference between underestimating and not playing well against opposition. I think Pellegreni rotates less for cup matches than almost every other PL managerI wouldn't risk Silva starting. Bony up front with Nacho behind him as Pellers doesn't see him as a striker. Silva on for nacho around min 65. We should not do our usual trick of underestimating lesser teams but I wouldn't mind seeing Roberts and a younger defender start as well.
I must confess I am in a bit of a muse on this one. Certainly a great chance to get to Wembley but at what cost? Two additional competitive fixtures in January following on the busy Christmas period is likely to impact upon league results. Lets face it, few other than Pellegrini perhaps, view the Capital One as in any way important if we can win while resting key players great. However, if we are going to play full strength sides to win it at the expense of other more important competitions it may not be worth it. Bye the way I have a soft spot for this Cup as I can still remember great City victories in the last century.If we win the League Cup, then it'll be 5 major trophies in 6 seasons, and officially the most successful period in our history.
Or should we just pick the EDS lads?
I've got to work and wonder if we are on any media outlets? Stream or radio?
