Kick off time 19:45 (BST).

Definitely a chance to rotate, Burnley at home on the Saturday.

This is probably a competition where the fixture congestion and draw will decide how far we go.

------------------Trafford
Nunes---Stones--Mfuni---Ake
--------------------Nico
----------Mukasa---Lewis
Bobb-----------Foden------Savinho

Might be over-rotated but it's been a tough week for the lads.

I think only Phillips is left out?
 
We need to rest key players for this. Last season a big issue was Pep saying this competition was unimportant but playing most of our key players only for several to get injured against Spurs. Give academy players a chance and those who haven't played a lot a run out.
Agree, though I’m sure often in the past we’ve found out the academy team have a fixture the day before or after these League Cup games!
 
I'd guess that there'll be very, very few of the starting XI today that'll play any part on wednesday. Which should please some of our Netherlands based posters. The likes of Lewis, Nunes, Stones (if fit?) Trafford, Gonzalez, Savinho, Kalvin (is he around?) etc should feature. Along with a handful of academy lads.
 
Important that the main players feature in their best positions and get the full game. Wouldn’t actually be surprised if Haaland starts so that we can keep some shape.

Trafford
Nunes
Stones
Ake
Phillips
Bobb
Gonzalez
Lewis
Mukasa
Savinho
Haaland
 
Really hard one to predict. The fall off in quality from the best 14 or so is quite steep and there is just a severe lack of goals throughout the squad bar a few who will be rested.

Are you a rag, or just totally ignorant?
 
Do we have any other options other than to play the kids and fringe players after today?
