rest Suarez, Gerrard, Agger and Downing

Since Gerrard wasn't even selected for the West Brom match, I really don't see him being around for Fulham. I have no problem resting Downing...he played his best football as a red in the last cup final, so I'm hopeful for a repeat performance. Agger is like an NFL player, he constantly plays hurt and only sits when he's injured...he'll probably benefit the most from the rest. Suarez is the one I'm torn on...his form is great and an extra 65-70 mins may help keep that form; besides, he's used to playing a ton of minutes so I don't see it as a huge deal. What I'm interested in seeing is how KK handles guys like Bellamy, Kuyt, and Carra...he historically gives seasoned, loyal guys games on big stages like cup finals over younger (perhaps more capable) players.
