Zola could ring the changes for FA Cup tie

Gianfranco Zola could be set to make some changes to his squad for Saturday’s FA Cup third round tie against Newcastle United at St. Andrews.

Paul Caddis, Viv Solomon-Otabor, Reece Brown, Paul Robinson, Josh Cogley and Ronan Hale are being considered and may start or be included in the squad. And Zola will wait until the last minute before deciding whether to include Diego Fabbrini, who is currently out injured.

Newcastle are also expected to field a second string line-up as their manager, Rafa Benitez, prioritises the Championship over any cup run.
