Aston Villa v Tottenham
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert said: “I’ve got to make changes for tomorrow, that’s for sure, because I’ve got a lot of injuries at the minute and Saturday’s (game against Manchester City) is massive for us as well.”
Tottenham will play their third game in just six days and Villas-Boas will probably rotate his squad, he said: “This team has not experienced having to play again after just two days and we have not been given the same chance as the other teams. So we will have to rotate our squad as the players who played in Cardiff will not be involved.”

Hull City manager Steve Bruce could make some changes, he said: “We’re not going to be disrespectful to the competition but we made a lot (of changes) last time and we’ll certainly do that again.”
Huddersfield manager Mark Robins has confirmed he will make several changes with Friday’s home league game against Blackpool in mind.

Everton manager could make some changes, he said: “The squad is big enough to be able to give the time to the players who need to recover.”
