    We have to really want this one as Stoke will in front of their own fans, especially after Saturday.

    Really think this is a coinflip, Stoke's lineup is strong aswell. Add in them being at home and gives them a slight edge, but could go either way.

    Tough game. Although we generally outplayed them on Saturday, it was a close game and they are now at home. They will be determined...they could overdo that and let us in, but I'm not sure of this one at all. Early goals please, boys.

    Could be down to the honesty of the Officials!

    Very strong side from Koeman. To be fair, Hughes has been positive as well - some good attacking players in their side.

    That's because we haven't got many attacking options.

    Yep, fair play to both managers. Really refreshing to see two PL teams (who aren't fighting relegation) putting out strong sides.

    Given the opportunity that we have in the competition this season, for various reasons, I'm not sure I've looked forward to a League Cup as much as I am this evening.

    not saying Jose is getting on, but is he still upto 3 games a week ? Having thought about it RK would probably have to chain him to a wall in Staplewood to stop him playing

    I was hoping he would be rested and it would be Toby and Gardos.

    Would say we have the slightly better starting XI, but stoke with the much stronger bench

    I reckon Ron's thinking was that he wants to get Gardos some action and also wants to keep his captain in the team.
