2 weeks to sort it cos Walsall near top DIv 1 and play decent football, have a young team with plenty ex academy players in it, plus Milan lalkovic who has a point to prove, oh and the fans call dean smith 'ginger mourinho'

Last year we scraped a 2-1 win at Shrewsbury but this will be much harder

Walsall level above that and biggest home match in the cup since the 80's so sell out crowd

It won't be a battle cos Walsall play football but they have plenty goals from midfield and decent keeper

Blue boys need to be on it for this one

Being worried about a game against Walsall......these are dark times for Chelsea

We shouldn't take ANY game lightly. Bradford being a good example.

Oh, another one of those...

Yep cup football can be crazy

Would love Kenedy and Traore on either flank. Time to give some players some much needed minutes and hopefully goals too

Begovic

Ivan

Zouma

Papy

Baba

Cesc

Rlc

Ramires

Kenedy

Falcao

Traore

Do we know if this'll be on tv or streamed at all. I hate it when it's a blackout

Afraid not, tv is going with Spurs Arsenal / Villa Bham, work that one out.

I think we will win this ... Team freshened up ... shame it's not on TV.

rest azpi, he's been running non stop hustling up and down from the start of the season

Id give Hazard a rest. There will be plenty of fixtures coming up we actaully need him for

I'd love to see Musonda get a chance, although it's unlikely.

Team selection I would like to see depends on whether Papy can play as a right center back or not.

 

If he can:

 

Blackman

 

Azpi

Papy

JT

Baba

 

RLC

Ramires

 

Traore

Kenedy

 

Remy

Falcao

 

If he cannot:

 

Blackman

 

Azpi

Cahill

Papy

Baba

 

RLC

Mikel

Ramires

 

Traore

Kenedy

 

Remy

Begovic

Aina

Papy

Terry

Baba

Matic

RLC

Kenedy

Oscar

Traore

Remy

I guess we will see the forgotten central defender this game. I'm sure JT will play, Baba/Remy/Ramires will all start, maybe a good match to rest Cesc/Azpi/Hazard. The problem last season was we didn't rotate enough for cup games, I feel Jose will make more changes this season

Would be awesome to get some youngsters in the line up and give them some game time. Kinda wish we did not have some players out on loan so this could be their shot. However, it would be nice to Traore, RLC, Musonda, Colkett, Abraham and Da Silva get some minutes. I would love to see Colkett and Abraham get some minutes, exciting prospects.

Really hoping Kenedy, Baba & RLC all get a run out for this one.

Should be a win with a 2 goal margin.

Wouldn't treat this game any different than Prem. We need to find some steel in our side. I'd give RLC, Remy and Baba a start however. We are still far away from the form we were this time last season. We need to keep on winning.

This is a match we should win providing we apply ourselves correctly. Awkward match against an opponent that will be well up for the fight coupled with a small ground and evening kickoff, cup shocks are made of this. With this in mind, I'd expect not too many youngsters in what will be a second eleven whilst attempting to keep it from a scratch team. A difficult juggling act for José.

Not a game to take lightly, but a good chance to rest Hazard and Fabregas, and offer starts to Loftus-Cheek, Djilobodji and Rahman.

----------Begovic--------

Azpi-----Zouma----JT------Baba

--------RLC----Ramires--------

Kennedy------Remy------Traore

--------------Falcao--------

Maybe swap Remy wit Kennedy or could interchange during game, would rather play him up top but Falcao needs games too especially as Costa will likely be banned in the next few days.

It'll be interesting to see who starts this game. According to the media Falcao and Terry are both set to start. The debate is around whether Jamal Blackman should play too. I know he's young and unproven but this is the best opportunity for him to get some minutes to see if he's up to standard.

Here's who I'd go for:

Blackman

Ivan

Papy

Terry

Baba

RLC

Mikel

Kenedy

Traore

Remy

Falcao

Or maybe a 4-4-2 with Remy and Falcao up front? In reality though this would be unlikely.

Yeah I'd like us to play a similar team maybe even starting with Aina or atleast giving him a run out from the bench 

So there will there be any streams available for this?
