Predicted line up vs Arsenal?

[D410]

Our ability to be ruthless in front of goal will make or break us.

I am already nervous and going through 'what if's' in my head.
The only way to remain focused is that it is a cup game and anything can happen. We where thrilled with the quater final draw last year, and then out within half an hour. Whether over confidence killed us I don't know, but Arsenal's season has began to show cracks these past few weeks and we need to be ruthless. Win this tie, ideally on Saturday.

That's that then!

Yep, it's that simple.

We'll create a handful of chances at the Emirates, and whether we're clinical or not, will determine the outcome.

I expect Howard in goal. Jags will be fit - the back 4 pick themselves - Stones on the bench

Lukaku will start, Mirallas, Barry, Jimmy Mc and Pienaar too. The last place up for grabs rests between Ossie, Naismith, Deulofeu, McGeady and Barks. On current form I'd want Ossie out of those.

Howard, Coleman, Baines, Jags, Distin, Barry, McCarthy, Osman, Pienaar, Mirallas, Lukaku
bench: (likely to play). Deulofeu (remembering the impact he had in the league game there), Barkley, Naismith or McGeady - also Stones, Robles, Hibbert to make up the numbers.

Couple of points - the midweek internationals don't half disrupt teams preparations for the weekend - hopefully our absentees will be significantly less in number than theirs.

Secondly Webb is doing Palace's game so it's definitely not him in charge. Atkinson, Oliver, Moss and Marriner are busy as are Dean and Probert (thankfully) - on 4th official duty. Guess that leaves only Dowd, Mason or The Clatt..

Lol @FA, why not stick Collina as 4th official as well ?

Do you think Clattenburg supports the RS or just dislikes Everton?

Both.

.....international games might impact both line ups. Hoping our guys don't start for their countries.

 

[parkendmaster]

Other possible refs would be, Kevin Friend, Craig Pawson or Neil Swarbrick. Of those 3 Friend would be the most likely.
