I would play

-------------------Davis----------------
Clyne--Yoshida--Lovren--Fox
------------Cork------Morgan-------
Isgrove------Ramirez------J-rod
------------------Osvaldo---------------

I think he will rest the three 18 year olds as I expect them to play next weekend. I also feel like Ramirez and Osvaldo could do with the extra game time. This team is a good mix of starting 11 and those looking to break back into the team I feel.
 
Davis, Fox, Lovren. Fonte, Clyne, Cork, Davis, Guly, Ramirez, JRod, Mayuka.

I think he will have a very strong bench in case things go awry....including Spider, Lambert and Wanyama. Shaw won't be there as I think he needs to rest up and won't be risked at all.
 
I would go for...

Davis
Chambers Fonte Yoshida Shaw
Cork Davis
Isgrove Lallana Ward-Prowse
Osvaldo
 
Davis
Clyne Yoshida Hooiveld Fox (wooo!)
Cork Davis
Mayuka JWP Guly
Rodriguez

Subs: Gazzaniga, Chambers, Fonte, Wanyama, Isgrove, Lambert, Osvaldo.

I would like to play Osvaldo and Ramirez but I think they should be kept fresh for Norwich and I don't think they'd suit playing on Barnsley's pitch. Osvaldo is on the bench to get some game time and for if we're in need for goals, along with Lambert. Wouldn't mind Ramirez starting against Norwich over Lallana.

Off topic but Clyne was spotted in a club in Southampton and said he still wasn't fully fit so expect Chambers to be dropped soon.

Edit: put Isgrove on the bench over Lallana.
 
Is it this Tuesday? Id go with;

SKD
Chambers Maya hoiveld Fox
cork davis
Mayuka Guly ?
J-rod

IF clone is back i would expect him to start against norwich. Guly to play in his natural position. not sure who to put as L ACM, isgrove or rowe?
 
----------Gazzaniga------------
Chambers--Fonte--Maya--Fox
---------Cork---Davis--------
Isgrove-----Guly-------Mayuka
----------Rodriguez----------

That's a pretty strong cup team, especially with the options we could field from the bench.
 
Oh and another post you may want to sit down before reading- didn't Morgan come off injured? Somebody near me said he was seen on crutches after coming off. Somebody tell me this ain't true!
 
Does anyone know what sort of team he used to field in the early rounds of the Cups when he was at Espanyol? May give and indication as to what he will do here.
 
I want to see us give the cup competitions a go this season, and I suspect we will. That said, it is only Barnsley. So I fail to see the need for anything near a full strength XI. Especially now that we have strength in depth. Would like us to stick with Fonte and Lovren though, just to help build that partnership further.

Davis
Clyne Fonte Lovren Fox
Cork Davis
Mayuka Gaston Isgrove
Osvaldo

Gazzaniga, Chambers, Hooiveld, Lallana, Guly, Jay, AN YOUNGSTER (most likely a CM, based on the make-up of that bench)

What could go wrong?
