Capital cup. Fulham

I'd see how lukaku is after his concussion. May be worth starting kone if he's fit and Gibson. Give deulofeu a start but not change things too much. Robles will start ahead of Howard I think that's a given.

......................Robles
........Stones Heitinga Distin
...Coleman Gibson Barry Oviedo
........Deulofeu Kone Mirralles

Optimistic I know.

Lundstrum and Stones are the next ones in the squad I hope. But its a great chance for us to win a trophy at last. Lets take this seriously. ....massive confidence boost if we can do well.

Garbutt is on loan at Colchester so won't be playing, I can see Oviedo playing in the LB slot. I'd go with

-----------------------------Robles----------------------------------
Hibbert-----------Stones-------------Heitinga--------Oviedo
---------------------Gibson------------McCarthy----------------
Gueye----------------------Barkley--------------------Mirallas
-------------------------------Deoleufu-----------------------------

Oh yeah I forgot Garbutt was out on loan.
Oviedo lb then, maybe gueye in the left mid position.
But I agree with you Arouna Jagielka,would be nice to have a real go at winning the trophy.
I trust Martinez to make the choice. Happy days.

I hope Lakaku will be rested after his concussion.

Give Jela a start, because he certainly shouldn't be ahead of Lakaku for league matches.

Duelofeu could do with a few games too. Also start with McCarthy.

i hope he only makes 3 or 4 changes, we only have 2 chances of silverware and this is one of them,
bring in Stones and Delafeu and maybe Robles, if Gibson is fit play him as well.

I would have liked to have seen Lundstrum and maybe Hope on the bench, but the both played for the youth team last night against Chelsea, so looks like the bench will have mainly senior players on.
