Cup final 1/6 Pre match


Pinebro

Recommended Posts

Very difficult line up to predict with Chelsea a few days later and ultimately 4 games in 10 days.

I think start strong however and hopefully if we are comfortable, make the changes HT or aroud the hour mark.

                                           Martinez

     Cash               Konsa                 Pau                Digne 

    McGinn         Tielemans            Luiz                 Zaniolo                                        

                            Diaby                   Watkins

Subs:

Moreno for Digne

Bailey for Diaby

Kamara for Luiz

Duran for Watkins

Dendoncker for McGinn

Going for 1-3 Villa, then re-assess everyone's fitness for Chelsea.

I’d go exactly this but with Moreno in for digne. That’s then basically our first choice eleven but with tielemans in who is a very high quality replacements.

I’m torn as to whether to keep Watkins in or swap for Duran who is banging on the door for a game. Ultimately I think better for Watkins to stay in to see if he can get a goal to boost his confidence

Totally agree. If Moreno is fit enough then give him the first 60+👍

Tielemans needs the minutes, and will have a point to prove.

Duran will be chomping at the bit, and hopefully this inspires Ollie.

I think it will be the League Cup when we utilise the squad more.

I'd go like this:

                     Martinez

Cash Konsa (Diego if fit) Pau Digne

          Tielemans        Kamara

Bailey                                   Zaniolo

             Duran        Watkins 

Bring on Dendoncker, Moreno, Diego if not fit to start around 60 mins if we're home and dry. Save Luiz, McGinn and Diaby for Chelsea.

To me Cash is one of the players we need to be careful of over extending as our only recognised RB. In normal circumstances I'd play Chambers as a purely defensive RB and let Moreno maraud up the left.

However, this might be Cash's only chance to play for Villa in his"home" country, so it could be a big game for him.
