DERBY COUNTY - Stoke City

A full squad to choose from for this quarter final tie so Lowe will come back into the side. We will be looking to obtain a first leg lead in preparation for the short trip to Stoke in the second leg.

Spurs vs Villa

After 11 league games we're back in cup action taking on Spurs. It's 3rd in the Prem vs 3rd in D1 and both sides could be forgiven for having their eyes on other things. However, we worked very hard to get through the groups and we would like to win this for the 3rd straight year which would be some achievement. The last 2 quarter finals we have won on penalties and we would like to not have to do that this time - being in the contest with an away goal will be ideal.

Buckle is back to boost the midfield so Souttar misses out as he had to be promoted. Other than that it's the strongest squad we could put out.

Watford U23 - Everton U23

Away in first leg of semi against a tough Watford U23 outfit.
They sit second in Div 1 where we are mid table in the prem with a hit and miss last few games.

We have a full squad but we will probably rotate a few players.
