It will be interesting to see what lineup Brendan picks for tonight's match. With a bit more time than usual to rest - Villa being on Monday - he can select a full strength team from those who are fit. Equally as this is a midweek cup match against lower league opposition, he can 'rest' players without it seeming as if they are being dropped. For example Chilwell has been mentioned in these pages as a potential change, but this could be an opportunity for Chillers to have a good, confidence building evening.
We definitely need to field a strong team as Birmingham are doing reasonably well and have some dangerous players. Also a good opportunity perhaps to give Gray a start against his former side (I realise some might see this as incompatible with the statement in the preceeding sentence).
Decisions, decisions. 😞
My selection:
Ward
Justin Morgan Soyuncu Chilwell
Choudhury (ease Wilf back please!)
Gray Praet Tielemans Albrighton
Iheanacho
Bench: Schmeichel Ricardo Evans N'didi Maddison Perez Barnes
Team for tonight

Not much to argue with there Nuneaton.
I would maybe keep Barnes in to give him a run and get his confidence flowing before Villa. He’s looked the only decent player in recent weeks so good to keep his momentum. Otherwise I agree. Strong bench should we need it but hopefully not.
Please let’s get a good win to get our confidence back. Pleeeeeease!!!

Ricardo, Bennett and Barnes in place of Justin, Morgan and Albrighton.
This is according to the guy who keeps leaking the team news on Twitter.

Looks like the Twitter leak has got this wrong. Which is good news for once.
