Very hypothetical but I would take the 3 points rather than go thro in the cup. Or both if possible!
Alex quoted on BBC as:
But the only concern I would have is that I don't want us to take our eye off the ball in terms of the league.
"That is our bread and butter and we want to do really well in that competition. We want to have a good cup run too, but we have a really small squad and it might be difficult to manage the two.
"Would I name a weakened side on Wednesday? Well, my team will be determined by who is fit and who is not. But I would have no problem putting some of the younger boys in on Wednesday.
"But if I had to chose which of the two derbies we could win, I'd take the league game, without question.
"We want to continue our league form. I'm not writing the cup off - not at all - but the league is our priority
