    For me:-

    O'leary
    Sessegnon
    Vyner
    Mawson
    Moore
    Rowe
    Morrell (if fit)
    Bakinson
    Palmer
    Diedhiou
    Semyeno

    Still a good team but Sunday's game far more important.

    Wouldn't play Mawson if we can help it. He's been a bit fragile over the last 12 months so we don't want to overuse him. Rowe played centre back versus Exeter so he can fill In there with Eliasson or Brunt playing left wing back. Brunt will probably start this game somewhere

    To be honest I forgot about Nagy, I sort of have the feeling that him, Diedhiou and Eliasson are moving on, maybe wrong, all fairly big earners, I don't think Nagy has ever fully settled with us, the squad certainly needs a bit of trimming.

    Do we have a choice with Kalas and Baker out injured? I suppose Bakinson could fill in there, allowing Nagy back into midfield. A bit worried about burn out for Bakinson Pretty much the same situation for Rowe with DaSilva injured, unless he plays Eliasson as a Wing Back.

    When we did so well in this competition last time, we played a more or less reserve team and they beat Watford, Stoke and Palarse before we brought our own ‘big guns’ in vs Man Ure (apart from the GK)
    We should employ the same policy imho. Whatever you think of LJ he got it right on that occasion.

    I gave you the choice in my post, Rowe played there against Exeter and in some friendlies. Eliasson can play wing back as he did against Northampton or Brunt

    Seems a logical lineup given our injury list. A shame really, as without so many injuries, we could have put out a stronger side to give Villa a real run for their money if they don’t approach the game correctly, this side probably still can to be fair.

    Really looking forward to my first view Mawson, Sessegnon and Semenyo and Brunt's nous in midfield.

    So is Bentley injured or is Deano just giving O'Leary a run out ?

    'In goal, having started Max O’Leary against Northampton it would seem unfair to then drop the 23-year-old for regular No1 Dan Bentley just because of the strength and reputation of the opposition.

    It wouldn’t be a great endorsement of O’Leary’s skills and while there is argument for maintaining continuity between goalkeeper and defence, City’s No2 will surely get a second outing of the season.
    Villa also evokes memories of O’Leary’s star turn in April 2019 in which he produced a string of dazzling saves in a 2-1 defeat at Villa Park.'

    Copied from the Post.

    Really looking forward to this. I wouldn't usually care about this cup until the latter rounds, but we have some interesting new players to see, and also I really can't stand Villa and their fans. Such a strange, arrogant set of supporters. I'd love to beat them tonight.
