Would a mod mind unpinning the old match day threads please? The newer ones are getting pushed to the bottom  :smile:

Team:

           Schwarzer

Azzi -- Cahill -- Luiz -- Cole

     Lampard -- Essien

Willian -- Mata -- Schurrle

                Ba

 
Sunderland will play a second string team as will we.

Schwarzer

Cole

Luiz

Cahill

Azpi

Essien

Lampard

Schurrle

Oscar

KDB

Eto'o

 
We are in the quarters, we should try and win this it might just be the lift we need winning an early trophy.

 
(4-2-3-1): Schwarzer; Azpilicueta, Luiz, Cahill, Cole ©; Mikel, Essien; Schurrle, Willian, Oscar; Ba

Subs: Blackman, Ivanovic, Kalas, Lampard, De Bruyne, Hazard, Torres

 
Considering how huge the weekend game is against Arsenal I think as many players as possible should be rested for this one. 

              Schwarzer

Dave - Kalas - Luiz - Bertrand

            Essien - Mikel

       KDB - Oscar - Schurrle

                    Ba

Not sure if Bertrand is fit but if so give him a start.

Essien and Mikel in the middle so that Frank and Ramires don't risk injury before the weekend.

The attacking mids as the three who didn't start at the weekend so everyone is rested/rotated.

Not sure if Cahill is fit, if so play him ahead of Luiz to try and get him match fit for the weekend so Jose can choose between him of Luiz. 

 
Schwarzer

Azpilicueta

Luiz

Kalas

Bertrand

Essien

Mikel

Schurrle

Oscar

De Bruyne

Ba

It's great how we can field two different starting elevens with such quality.

 
--------Schwarzer

Dave - JT - Luiz - Cole

Essien - Ramires

Willian - Oscar - Schurrle

---------Eto'o

Only people from that I would expect to start against Arsenal are JT, Ramires and possibly Cole. Whether or not Oscar is in the starting XI probably depends on which one of Mata/Oscar Jose will want to start against Arsenal, hard to predict at the moment.

 
Team - Jose says on CFC TV if Cahil fit back 4 = Dave, Cahill, Luiz, Cole

Im sure that nearly every other starter for the Camel Dome will be rested giving those

with fewer appearances a day out on Wearside, as Gooners got a full week's rest

those imo are from - Schwarzer, Mikel, Ess, KDB, Willian, Shirley, Eto'o, Ba

Berty injured

 
Schwarzer
 

Azpilicueta
Luiz
Cahill
Cole

Essien
Mikel

Schurrle
Oscar
De Bruyne

Eto'o

Would be brilliant if someone who seldom plays has a great game and throws himself in the mix for the bigger games. DeBruyne for example.

 
I will be very surprised if KDB starts,maybe few pointless minutes in the end.

 
Ramires, ivanovic hazard and terry should be the first ones rested.

 
I really want to see more of The German. He was electric against Stoke. Surely he can dismantle the festive barcodes without too much trouble.

Ivan is suspended so he will definitely be sitting this one out.

If KDB doesn't start this one, then I think it's safe to say he doesn't have a future with Chelsea and we may be looking to move him on come January.
