Lewis Baker on target for Stoke vs Brighton ! Pleased for him, after he pretty much missed the first half of the season due to injury

No nkunku in the squad hopefully he’s ok for the semi final

Alfie starts 😀

Strong line up. 

Great to see a first start for Gilchrist at RB. 

 

Good to see Levi have a go at LCB as well

Average age of the starting XI today is less than 23 !!!

Couple of youngsters on the bench for the first time - Williams and Golding.

Who is captain? 

 

Only disappointed there is no Santos, as qe should keep him around for sick note coverage and really he should be starting today, and Madueke ahead of Sterling should have been the choice to imo.

Golding picked ahead of Santos as midfield cover, albeit Conor the most likely sub if needed.

I imagine captain is Colwill ... or possibly Sterling or Enzo.

Yeah think that says we want to loan Santos, I imagine Poch would play Colwill in midfield before golding in any other game.

Sort of game we should should giving the game off to, to both Caicedo and Enzo, but they start cause Santos cannot play if we want to loan him and Lavia and Lesley are sicknotes.

Given his only requirement is English speaking he should give it to Alfie. Imagine what that would mean for him and his family. First start, as captain.

Love the lineup other than would prefer Madueke over Sterling. He’ll see playing time though. 

Thrilled for Gilchrest also. 

KTBFFH!

Yah... and let's hope we're not going to be the "big cup upset" this year

They've probably been practicing their low block for the last month.

Lets gooooo, wanna see Enzo and Caicedo  dominate.

Looking forward to Gilchrist giving Colwill a bollocking for a defensive lapse LOL

The FA cup is truly magic, no moaning so far in the match thread, incredible.
