With next weeks semi no doubt on Sarri's mind, can see Hazard being on the bench for this one. Just hope we don't huff & puff, & have to bring him on.

I don't think we'll ever see Drinky dressed for a match again.

Hate Forest fans ever since mid 90s we played them away just after Matthew Hardings death. They were singing the dambusters to us Chelsea fans in the away end, it caused a bit of trouble in the stands, not a very classy lot.

Where did you find Piazon? Anyway I'd put Mineiro instead of Danny. 

Kepa

Zappa Christensen Ampudu Emerson

Cesc Kante Barkley

CHO Morata RLC

Is CHO fit to play in this game?

Anyone know when Pedro, Willian & Giroud are expected to be ready for selection again?

Give Hazard a weekend off, someone else score some goals for god sake. We are so short of goals and ideas at moment, anyone score a goal or setup one will probably walk into the starting 11 for the cup semi final and league game next week.

CHO posted in instagram the other day he was back in training. I have a feeling he'll be on the bench at least with Pedro and Willian injured. I feel Hazard needs a rest too.

I'm going to agree with this lineup unless Hazard starts then cho will not be in.

Kepa

Zappa Christensen Ampudu Emerson

Kante Cesc Kovacic

RLC Morata Odoi?

Bench : No f**king clue, we're down to bare bones as it is. :o

Kepa

Emerson
Christensen
Cahill
Zappacosta

Fabregas
Kovacic
Barkley

Hudson-Odoi
Morata
Loftus-Cheek

Injured: Giroud, Pedro, Willian

Rested: Hazard (+ imo Luiz, Alonso, Kante, Kepa etc.)

Available: CHO !

Forest are sitting 7th in Championship, seen highlights vs them play  Derby few weeks back they're alright, it wont be an easy game to win tomorrow whomever turns out in blue. 

 

 

Kepa

Emerson
Christensen
Ampadu
Zappacosta

RLC
Fabregas
Barkley

Hudson-Odoi
Morata
Moses

This rests a good 8/9 first choice outfield players who are going to have to play on Tuesday & again on Saturday.

If you take training photos into account, Mail shows obviously all the normal lot training but also two i couldn't quite recognise

(1st one in photo behind CHO/Moses) and (2nd tackling RLC)

 

any clue who they are? searched Academy page but couldn't put my finger on who they were..

First one is Charlie Colkett. He has recently returned from a spell at Shrewsbury that did not go well. Rarely played and for a lot of games was totally excluded out the squad. A shame for a really talented footballer who struggled to get in a L1 team.

I think the other player in the photo with RLC is Daishawn Redan, however not 100% sure but looks like him. Highly doubt any of the two will be involved but there is your answer :)

The last I check Leeds are Top of the Table - Also Leeds took a lead in the match being down a man - don't devalue the win by Forest - they will come in as a legit threat & if CFC doesn't treat them correctly then this place will have a serious meltdown

Caballero 

zappa christensen ampadu emerson 

loftus cheek Fabregas Barkley 

Moses morata Cho 

 

Go with this team, as we have a few injuries and many players need to rest.
