Never Forget: Burnley
I'm gonna go ahead and say that we should leave Djimi Traore on the bench for tomorrow's game. Oh, I kid - we always seem to remember is his spectacular, Marseille Roulette O.G against Burnley, crashing us out of the competition, but forget that he was a starter in Istanbul. That game, one of the more embarrassing in recent years, serves as a reminder of the potential banana peels that FA Cup games are. Preston has been in good form
Stevie is set to get a start, Torres and the Skirt are available for selection, and I expect a few youngsters as well. El Zhar for the full 90, please.
*special thanks to the Match Pricks at The Highbury for this nickname I had never heard before; I mean, El Maestro, while vastly appropriate for Xabi, is just played out, and I imagine that "string puller" is a little clunky in Spanish.
