With the FA Cup Third Round ahead this weekend, expect to see fringe players and youngsters out in force as the Premier League sides look to keep their stars fresh for league action.
Manchester United face Leeds on Sunday and you can be sure that Sir Alex Ferguson will take the chance to rest his big hitters. Similarly, Chelsea and Arsenal - the other sides in the thick of the title race - will look to shuffle the pack.
It is a real shame for the prestige and rich history of the FA Cup but nowadays the competition comes a distant third behind the Champions League and Premier League in the eyes of the top teams.
