I'd go with players who are likely to play in remaining Premiership fixtures, now is not the time to give the youth team a run out. The bitters aren't out of sight, S@int we cannot be safe if we win the next two games because the bitters will be maximum 11 points behind and with four games left. And if Voronin, Crouch, Riise, Pennant etc are to be on the bench on Tuesday it's better they've a (part) game under their belt. There's no way we'd have Nemeth, San Jose etc on the bench then so letting them get stuffed by Arsenal serves no purpose.
I think too many people on here are happy to write off any prospect of the points, we aren't safe and while we may want to rest the key players we still need to have a competitive XI on the pitch that COULD secure a point or possibly all three. We have other tough games to come, we may need something like 9-12 points and with games running out. If the bitters beat Derby that's the gap down to two points and we're in a fight again, I suspect it will be anyway, but there's no point conceding the gap without at least giving it a go.
