The last thing CP wants is players being angry that they've been dropped, for many of them's biggest game of their career. Especially since it's been one team that's got them to this situation.
CP has said on the OS that he wants a FA Cup run, I reckon he will choose a squad of his best fittest players who he thinks have a chance of winning, what he won't do is play youth or reserve players so as to rest fit players. I guess it's 7 subs so an 18 man squad? If the complete squad, except Stephens is fit and Ephraim and Russell not available, I would pick
Sullivan, Cort, Evina, Hughes, Pritchard, Euell, Hayes
Completely agree - except for having Hughes starting as well as on the bench Tempting to suggest Pritchard but Hughes in the anchor role will be vital. Also has his giant-killing experience when Leeds beat Utd at Old Trafford, which might come in handy! If Dempsey can somehow be contained who knows...

Really? I think the players fully appreciate that it's a squad game and in the two previous rounds, SCP has only played half the regular first teamers as Lancs can verify. As I said earlier I would like to see a strongish team but what I and the other 6999 fans with tickets want might not necessarily coincide with SCP's thoughts. We shall see but don't be too dissappointed if a few familiar faces are missing.
If I was SCP my team would be.... Sullivan Solly (although I would like to give him a rest) Taylor Cort Evina Wagstaff Hughes Stephens (if fit) Green Hayes Kermogrant Subs: Pope Wiggins Morrison Hollands Jackson Bover Clarke
