Poyet's side, who suffered a 4-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, take on Manchester City at Wembley next Sunday.
After seeing his charges beaten handsomely at the Emirates Stadium, compounding their relegation fears, Poyet hinted that several alterations could be made against City.
"Wembley could have been on the players' minds but this was a very good wake-up call," said the Uruguayan.
"No one has put them on the sheet for next week. Everything I had in mind for next week is gone in 90 minutes, gone completely, so we start from zero.
"Sometimes the players pick themselves. Now I have a few options. Maybe there are players pushing."
