I would imagine they'll be less interested than us in fielding their best starting lineup

I'll bet you a pound that Watford goes through to the next round. (Ooh, that rhymes).

1) Drawn away yet again!
2) Only 2 all-EPL ties.
3) So we're equal with Burnley at least for away disadvantage v the worst teams you could possibly come up against.
Not that I'm being pessimistic of course after our 11-10 penalty shoot-out loss last year....

It'll be interesting to see how Viera approaches these games. In the cup games Roy seemed to send the team out without clear instruction other than to provide no entertainment, no shots, before eventually limping out like a dysfunctional pen1s. With current injuries it won't be easy, but Watford looked pretty awful against us last week.

Lets be honest, and it saddens me to have to accept but the League Cup is effectively a defunct competition.

There is very little incentive for clubs in the Prem to play full strength teams in the early rounds of the competition. Lower league clubs will give it a go because gate receipts can be a big incentive if they draw a larger team.

First few rounds Prem teams will just use the games as better B Team/Development squad fixtures.

Rumour has it Wayne's penalty hasn't returned back down to earth yet!

Just to be clear, in the photo Wayne is pointing at the ball with his right-arm outstretched.

Be interesting to see which approach PV will take. Hoping to see some youngsters get a run out.

Starting line up for this game as long as we have a fit squad? Thoughts?

Butland
Clyne
Guehi
Tomkins
Mitchell
Gallagher
Riedewald
Rak-Sakyi
Zaha
Benteke
Street

 


FEELING GLAD ALL OVER
