I want us to absolutely batter this lot. We're only in 3 competitions so we'd may as well go full throttle for all 3! Because it's a great advantage to be able to rest players and keep the core team fresh for the league title challenge, whilst at the same time giving opportunities to the younger less experienced players to grab some time on the pitch, with little to lose and much to gain. Â
October 24, 20168 yr Personally I'd rather go all out to try win the cup. Especially against West Ham, if we lost against them it would be dreadful especially in the "London" stadium
October 24, 20168 yr We have to go as far as we can in this competition as well, every trophy is important for us. And there is no problem that few players will get a rest, we have players that will replace them perfectly. We're in great form at the moment, especially our defence is becoming stronger in every game, big changes won't be good for us. I'd like to see this starting line: ------------------------------- Courtois ----------------------------- ---------- Azpilicueta -------- Terry ----- David Luiz -------------- Aina -------------- Chalobah ------ Matic ------------- Marcos Alonso ---------------------- Willian ------------------ Fabregas -------------------- ----------------------------- Batshuayi ----------------------------------  COME ON CHELS!!!!!  Â

October 24, 20168 yr Just now, wallosh said: No Zouma and Oscar? Â I'd prefer to see Zouma coming from the bench, a player that comes after a long injury can't start a game already, he has to make it step by step. And about Oscar, not really.Â
October 24, 20168 yr Think we should rotate a bit, don't need rusty players. This formation and this starting eleven works but rotation will benefit the team. The starters will get a rest and the players on the bench a chance to make an impact. I'd go with: --------------------------------------Begovi?------------------------------------------- ------------------Cahill-----------Terry-------------Luiz----------------------------- Aina------------------Chalobah-------Fabregas-----------------Marcos Alonso ----------------Moses---------------------------Pedro------------------------------- ---------------------------------Batshuayi----------------------------------------------  Zero clue how Aina would work on the wing back, and i think Pedro could fill in on the left winger position. I think i reality only Chalobah and Michy will get a run, and probably JT and the rest will remain unchanged.
October 24, 20168 yr Feel Conte will want to keep the momentum going with this starting 11. However i'd like to see Chalobah & Aina. Get Aina launching those rockets into the box. Edited October 24, 20168 yr by rtwelch
October 24, 20168 yr We have a big problem because we have no back ups for alonso and moses in this formation. if either goes down especially alonso we will be f**ked. my team. we better bring back kennedy or ake in january bcoz they are better off on our bench than their respective club benches.            bergovic     Cahill     Terry    Luiz  aina   kante    matic      Azpii      Willian       Oscar           Batshuayi    Â
October 24, 20168 yr I hope chalobah, osca, Aina fabregas and Michy will start! Â I also would like to see Zouma for some 10 mins. Â I think West Ham are also in trouble because of their poor start and so will likely rest players for EPL! Â So whatever line up it should be a good game and we should beat this lot!
October 24, 20168 yr I wouldn't change too much from Sunday. We've got to be aiming at winning this thing, it's a feel good trophy if you can bag it and often sets up a strong run in to the season's end. They way we're starting to play, there really isn't anyone I'd fear - I just wish we were playing Arsenal and Liverpool in a couple of weeks' time; things could have turned out very differently if Conte had started the season with the current formation and line up.Â
October 24, 20168 yr I'm against lots of changes too, obviously GK, Hazard, Costa, Kante, maybe a CD need a rest/rotation, but I still want us to keep up the momentum. We only play once a week, so there's no reason players can't handle an extra mid week game. Player like Moses been waiting to play for years, there's no point resting him. Of course we should give the likes of Cesc, Batman, Willian etc a game. We may as well aiming to win the cup, since we won't have cup games until the FA cup next year. Westham isn't in greater shape , expect them to rest their big players.

Â I think West Ham are also in trouble because of their poor start and so will likely rest players for EPL! Â So whatever line up it should be a good game and we should beat this lot! Zouma is not going to play. He has just returned from a serious injury and will need to play a few matches for the U23 to get himself match sharp. I hoe Fabregas is fit as he will be useful for squad rotation. Him and Chalobah in midfield. However I think Conte will name a very strong team. Batshuayi, Terry, Oscar, Willian are all definite starters you assume. If you base our team against Leicester in previous round the only 'youngster' who started was RLC. So I think that already shows that Conte is taking this cup seriously and why not? I hope Batshuayi can make a big impression on Wednesday. He has done nothing wrong and has done well in his limited appearances in a Chelsea shirt. Just simply the fact that Costa is too good right now. I and a lot of people thought Conte would often play 2 up front a lot and pair Batshuayi and Costa together. Obviously not the case. Anyway, I am confident about this game. COYB!

October 25, 20168 yr -------------------------Begovic------------------------ -----------Ivanovic ----Terry ------- Cahill------- Aina -------------------------------------------------Alonso ------------- Chalobah -------- Matic --------------------- Oscar ---------------------------------------------- Pedro ----------------------- Michy ------------------------------- That's the team for me. Good mix of inform starters (Pedro, Alonso, Matic) and people who've impressed off the bench and deserve 90 mins (Michy, Chalobah). Also would be good to give JT a run out, and Oscar because as much as I like both I can't see them playing consistently this season, I would say start Cesc but I like this formation and he won't work win in a 2 man midfield.
