Would start Garnacho here, too.

The timing of this fixture is crazy, he'll have to rotate the squad heavily.

Needs to join the “far queue” to the exit.

Martial is another one that we`ll get peanuts for when shown the door.

Bit of a tough one this. We need to rest some lads before the scouse game - really important we don't lose that. A win would be ideal as it'd make it very difficult for them to catch us, but if the title is out of reach (which feels likely) then a draw is probably ok (in dispassionate terms; obviously I hate not beating those bastards).
BUT, we definitely should be beating West Ham, who are also rather annoying. And I would really like us to win the FA Cup a few more times to overtake Arsenal, it's annoying they've won it more. After this there's only three more games in it. So I don't want to see a shite side that meekly loses 1-0, even if freeing up some fixture spots is desperately needed (fucking FA).
Rest Bruno, Varane, Shaw (though sounds like he may be out anyway), and Rashford - Rasher will be a huge miss but surely we still have enough firepower to beat this lot between Garnacho and Sancho. Could do with Martial coming back soon mind.

Start strong, change when winning or at 60 mins.
We are unlikely to win the League but the FA Cup has been too long removed. Obviously we should aim to win every match and every trophy every season, but we should have a rule that we absolutely throw everything at winning the FA Cup at least every three years. (i.e. Full strength XIs regardless of wider competitions context.)

Yeah FA Cup is a priority for me too. We should secure this game in the first half and aim to contain.

Smash. I'd love it if West Ham went down. It probably won't happen with how bad Southampton are, but if this lot, Leeds scum, and blue Scouse went down, I would be very happy.
*I've just remembered this is the cup... Smash anyway.

Start tonight with a full-strength side-FA Cup is a must win-hopefully put three past ‘em ,and then rest a few for the game v the thieving, eternal victim, bin-dipping wretched scum.

Happy with that hopefully we can get a few goals and pellestri will get a good amount of minutes in the second half.
Oh actually so much for west ham playing a weakened team, could be a bit of a slog.
