We probably need to try Moore or someone else (maybe Son?) in the 10 here just so we have some sort of back up plan to Kulusevski in case he gets injured or his form doesn't improve.

Gray Danso Davies Spence
Bentancur Sarr
Odobert Moore Tel
Richarlison
I'd start one of Bentancur/Bissouma here and rest the other one against Villa. We'll probably end up playing a strong team against Villa now just for rhythm. Can't see us just not playing any starters for 13 days anyway! Assume we'll give Kinsky one of these games? Maybe the Villa game makes more sense for him.

Looking forward to this one, when was the last time we said that? 
Yeah, should be a good atmosphere and hopefully a nice sunny day.Looking forward to this one, when was the last time we said that?
Home win after getting to the final… luvvly jubbly
too big of a risk, all it takes is one stupid tackle. plus you can bet steak dinners none of them are breaking out into more than a jog as they wouldnt want to miss the final, so what's the point playing them . play some hungry kids , get form into the bench options and work on that number 10 role for me
Because you need that match fitness in a big final.A player can get injured in training like Lucas, that’s just lap of the gods stuff.
Great point!
Match fitness, and the more form they can gather in the build up the better.
If we could take 6 points from the league games between now and the final it would be much better than going into that match on the back of two defeats, regardless of how meaningless you can write them off as.
Must win clash
Can I be water boy?
I’ll be defensive coordinator!
The issue we have is, we can't not get minutes in the starters legs between now and 21st, they need to be fresh but match fit. I wouldn't be shocked if we see a a few start tonight, and the others start against Villa.

Palace actually went really strong in their last PL game, wonder if they will be doing the same with a final coming up for them next weekend?
Most boring game in PL history, hopefully
Will be a great atmosphere in stadium for this and think we win this 2 nil.
Which he’ll get and the next day hopefully his P45!
It's only 12 days.
Vdv and Romero came back after months out and still looked Rolls Royce's compared to the alternatives.
Wrap them up in cotton wool !
