I would think that team on Thursday will be completely shaped by Sunday's game i.e. who needs fitness, game time or to be wrapped in cotton wool (Vertonghen, Soldado, Paulinho, Rose, Dembele).
This is why I think Thursday games are such a nightmare - we will train Tuesday and Wednesday. Then no training on Thursday or Friday. So, if you are being rested then you have missed out on 2 days meaningful training so perhaps so you're better off playing in the game which will have minimal intensity and therefore reduced risk of injury.
Whereas Arsenal will play Tuesday, rest Wednesday and from Thursday will have 3 full days of prep before the game being able to work in team shape with the starting XI fixed subject to injuries in the training.
With all this said I would go for on Thursday:
Friedel
Naughton
Kaboul
Fryers
Rose
Sandro (70 mins)
Carroll
Townsend
Holtby
Sigurdsson
Soldado (60 mins)
subs: Gomes, Walker, Dawson, Capoue, Lennon (30 mins+), Defoe (30 mins+), Kane
