It would be good to see Slaven Bilic stick with some of the side that achieved an astonishing turnaround at Spurs on Wednesday. Two-goal Andre Ayew should keep his place and there's a case for sticking with Carroll and Ayew up front with Hernandez to come on from off the bench. Cresswell should stay in at left back and Mark Noble needs to be in midfield for his leadership qualities. Ogbonna deserves a game at the back too. If Antonio fails his fitness test it will perhaps make Bilic's selection easier.
Slaven will probably go with Joe Hart, but there's also a case for bringing back Adrian. Hart is a fine keeper but low on confidence, while Adrian made a couple of great saves at Wembley and is a big character who was the first to join in the celebrations. Now we've found something that smells like team spirit we don't want to dilute it too much.
