Do we care about this?
Put out a full strangth team and try and keep the momentum going, or give the fringe players a chance?

If I remember correctly we were on a decent little run before our cup game last year. We weakened the side, didn't take it seriously and never picked up again.

In my opinion, it is never good to weaken up a squad regardless of the match. If you include the run Norwich is on at the moment, I don't see how you make any major changes to the side from Monday. Maybe one or two but not wholesale changes.
Regardless if we care about the FA Cup or not, AN should use this weekend to fine tune his lineup for the rest of the Championship season since it looks as if he is here til the end of the season.

I would like to see one or two to get a chance to be honest. Not suggesting wholesale changes but would be nice if we could get Canos and Maddison (think he's now back from his loan) on the pitch.

Rather than identify who I want to give a chance too, I think we should be thinking about who we want to protect against injury.
I'd take Pinto, Oliviera, Howson, Hoolahan and Klose out of the side in order to keep them fresh and injury free for our next league fixture.
And pick the best side available from whatever is left.
Suspect we'll see Matt Jarvis make an appearance, maybe off the bench?
I'd also like to see Maddison and Canos to be honest, in the hope that one of them may make enough of an impression to convince Alex Neil to keep them here for the 2nd half of the season?
And it would be nice if Cameron Jerome could grab a goal, looks like he really needs one.

i too think it will be a case of resting key players - depending on available cover; eg i think howson will play as we dont have a fit alternative.
McGovern, Jerome, Pritchard, Josh to start and perhaps maddison & Jarvis, canos on bench i suspect

Is McGovern healthy again? I would agree though that a couple players should be protected. Nelson I feel is probably one of the most important to protect.
