accept defeat tonight, in exchange for beating them in the League Cup semi? (Obviously we’d want to do both, but if you were given a magic wand that only allowed you to choose one).

On one hand, opening up a gap in the League would be great, but losing or drawing there wouldn’t be the end of the world as I think we’ve got more than enough to finish second or third relatively comfortably still. Whereas a Wembley final and a chance to beat City on a one-off game to lift a trophy sounds very appealing to me. I suspect I’m in the minority though?
