Good chance for us to bounce back and avenge the trashing we were given earlier in the season.
Reckon Suso or Yesil might feature?

Im hoping we play a full side instead of youth, as west Brom will probably play a full side.

Lets not get tonked again please.

I like that team except swap Downing for Suso and put Adorjan in CAM. Who I think has been quality recently. Downing has been Sh*t.

I'd like to see:

                                    Gulacsi

Flanagan            Skrtel              Coates           Robinson

                               
                         Sahin            Henderson   

                                Gerrard

Downing                       Yesil                       Assaidi

The vast majority of teams in the Premier League heavily rotate for this completion and I’m guessing WBA will too.

For us this competition really is 4th priority behind the Premier League, Europa League and FA Cup. Considering the approach we took to the game against Young Boys and the fact we have quite few injuries I don’t expect us to take too many risks with first team players. We have a number of players unavailable: Doni, Agger, Kelly, Flanagan, Lucas, Shelvey, Cole and Borini. Enrique has been struggling with a knee injury since the start of the season and went for a scan on Monday so might also be out.

I’d go for something like this.

                              Jones

Wisdom     Carragher     Coates     Robinson

                      Hendo     Allen
                              Sahin

              Suso                        Assaidi
                               Yesil

Subs: Morgan, Pacheco, Downing, Coady, McLaughlin, Wilson, Gulacsi

rumoured team:

Jones; Wisdom, Carragher, Wilson, Robinson; Assaidi, Henderson, Sahin, Downing; Pacheco, Yesil

Not surprised. Given our squad issues, any opportunity to give the fringe and youth players opportunity to play competitively is welcome. the quicker we can get them up to a reasonable first team standard the better.
