Those four are exactly the four I want to see more of. Pick of the bunch? Karbownik. If he lives up to his show reel, we've got a real gem.

Some players would surely benefit from a rest and we don't want to take a 6-0 tonking to interrupt our current run. With that in mind, I have no idea of the team for Leicester

——————Walton
Alzate - Veltman - Dunk - White - Karbownik
—— Moder - Mac Allister
Connolly ——- Welbeck —— Zequiri

if you play a weak team and get turned over it can set you back.
I'd go strong team and try to win a trophy.
Zequiri and Tau bound to heavily feature which will be interesting as neither look anywhere near the level required yet.
Looking forward to this game. 1/4 finals be brilliant

All this talk about players needing a rest. After Saturday v Villa - there is no match for 9 days.
They'll cope.

It's whether the priority will be the cup game or the Villa game.
We both know the answer
Anyone who saw the second half of the Burnley game will have seen pretty conclusively that there are 4 or 5 who look like they need a couple of midweeks off
Indeed, we need a new midfield for the Cup game.
The players that looked the most knackered were:
Biss
Groß
Webbo
Burn
Maupay
Tross
Hopefully Lallana & Welbeck are fit enough to start tomorrow.

Veltman-White-Burn
Alzate-Jenks-Moder-Karbownik
Khadra-Welbeck-Tau
I'd be tempted to put Zeqiri in for a start instead of Welbeck, or maybe Connolly. Depends who needs the game time the most for sharpness & also who needs rest or if Welbeck is ready to start after his injury.
No Dunk or Webster leaves a big hole, but I reckon they need a break (White can cope better being a youngster
I haven't seen the latest on Propper - if fit, I'd start him instead of Jenks.
I would go with that line up. We need to protect Dunk
It's not just about them being tired and being able to 'cope'... risk of injury is greater when they are fatigued. That 9 day rest will be no good for a torn hamstring or popped knee!
Its going to be freezing again tomorrow night, so not sure if Wellbeck and Lallana should start with their injury issues.
I would like to see a strong line up though, as the team is surely more points above the bottom 3 than the last 3 years, so I'm not too worried about the possibility of relegation.

On a vaguely predictive note, Ulloa reckons were loose tomorrow.
"Brighton try to change like Leicester, but more slowly. They have similar philosophies. They need more time than Leicester. But both clubs are so good. Leicester will win the game 1-0.
I remember coming to Brighton because I was playing for Almeria in Spain and with plenty of degrees in January. I landed and there was snow and not too many degrees. I was training in Spain with sun every day but in Brighton it was cold. I remember after the first day of training I go to the training room and I could not feel my feet. I asked the other [overseas] players, how can you play with this because for me it is impossible to pass the ball or shoot. I feel pain in my feet.
They said it was a good idea to play in England. Always I watched English football and thought I had to play there but after a week I start to think, 'I don't think it was a good idea to play here'. But after one month I was so, so happy. I wore hot cream and it was ok."

Don't try and play 'Billy big bollocks' with OGS, his job is on the line, yours isn't.
Let the kids have a run out tomorrow, you know it makes sense
