Focus shifts to our main domestic Cup competition and I fully expect Jürgen to make 11 changes for this one. A couple of lineup decisions to be made still, some involving fitness levels but I would could see this as our starting XI:
GK: Adrian
D: Neco Williams, Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip, Yasser Larouci
M: Fabinho, Lallana (if he's over the bug), Minamino
F: Elliott, Origi, Jones
Alternatively, Pedro Chirivella could start in midfield with Takumi playing forward and Elliott starting on the bench.
If anybody stays in the starting lineup from the Wolves match it would likely be Oxlade-Chamberlain because our first choice midfield going forward from West Ham in six days should be Fab, Gini and Hendo, plus Ox has been subbed 30 and 20 minutes early these past two games.
Great opportunity for a number of our young players, plus a chance for Matip, Lovren, Fabinho, Origi and Lallana to get some needed minutes. The team above should be more than enough to defeat a League One side.
