All Change – And Deemed Legal
Liverpool Rotation Did Not Save Surprised Wolves
With the semi-final draw made, we may have passed the rounds in 2016-17 in which squad rotation is seen as a controversial, thorny issue in the FA Cup.

League Cup Match Winner On Parade
John Richards sucked in the Wembley atmosphere once more yesterday – and savoured the memories of League Cup finals past.
