Kelechi

Bench> Angelino,Bravo,Maffeo,

Agree with this. Rest everyone for this game and test the bench strength. If we lose, it's better to lose in the first round of the LC. Concentrate on the League, CL and the FA Cup.

Not too fussed about the league cup this season.If we go all the way then great but the De Bruyne injury against Everton killed the season. I don't want to risk key players in the 4th priority.

In the 2 seasons we won the LC, we lost Negredo & DeBruyne to injuries in the semi-finals, and thus making us week in the tough CL knock-out rounds and other key PL games. This should be a competition for our youngsters and squad players like Yaya/Navas/Fernando/Delph.

If we overcome Swansea in midweek, does anyone know whats the odds would be for getting another top half PL team away in the next round? I think it might be an odds on bet! I thinking of a fiver on EFC at Goodison!

I'll be surprised if Yaya plays, not even been on the bench this season has he? Hope he takes it seriously as going down there, hope a couple of kids are involved but let's keep the run going, we ever won 9 on the bounce before?

No way Yaya is playing in my opinion, not been on the bench all season and was well off the pace in his cameo against Steaua. Aleix Garcia is ahead of him at the moment.
