Don't disrespect the opposition, nor the home fans, either. I was at the Exeter 3rd round match in 2005, where a largely reserve side was sent out, in front of 67000 paying fans and were awful! SAF held his hands up to that one and then sent out a stronger side for the replay that United went on to win 2-0.
I can see how he might look to play with one or two of the 1st team squad, but the fans love the romance of the cup and there is always a good chance that the tickets could go to general sale, so these 'new' fans should get the chance to see the strongest line up.
I think calls for Obertan, Tosic and Gibson are too early. Personally, I think that SAF will maybe have one or two on the bench. More likely to see Park start, I think. Time will tell with injuries, suspensions, etc.
