Seriously guys? For me, the sheff Utd games is bigger than the Everton game. I want us in that semi-final. If we lose we are out. If we lose to Everton, we live to fight for three points another day. I don't think there is a bigger game anywhere on the horizon.

The cup game is one step on the way to Wembley, winning a trophy and geting in to Europe.

I agree with you FLT, it's just I think it would an opportunity for him to wipe the slate clean and have a rest also. If Toby is back, then it may not be such a bad thing, although I really do understand why many agree with you.
 
This, but Long in for Mane. Mane has been off form for a while and Burnley will be in our faces. No lightweights.
I was torn between those two, but went for Mane starting as I think Long is better player to bring off the bench.

My biggest hope from this game other than the 3 points and no injuries, would be to see us actually put in a decent corner. Haven't seen one since Prowsey left the side.

I agree. Mané would be up against Keiran Trippier who is one of Burnley's better players. I'd much rather see Tadić there swapping with Long.

Well, the rest thing is irrelevant now as he won't have played for a couple of weeks. If Morgan's fit, he has to play against Sheffield United IMO.
 
Some good news from the Press Conference that Toby is back and in full training and that JWP is in the first team squad although needing a bit more time to work on his fitness
Morgan on the bus too but unlikely to feature on Saturday but probably Tuesday
Phew!

Play Spider Tuesday, make sure to get him Cup tied!
 
He said that the team are staying in Manchester for both games, good for a bit of team bonding! I hope they have the security guys looking after their homes after what happened to Vic.
 
I'm at a wedding so can't even listen to this one. Mane benched Long to start.
----------Forster---------
Clyne-Fonte-Yoshi-Bert
--Wany--Davis---Reed
Tadic---Pelle----Long

Bench- Davis, Gardos, Targett, Mane, Hesketh, Mayuka, Anyone.

* assuming spider is not fit

Alderweireld?
 
This is what I'd go with:
