f**king COVID, it’s such a great day today, sunny, hot, ideal to go to Wembley, have a few pints and go to the stadium to watch Chelsea smash these Manc mugs... 

Really hope we win today, been a lovely day so far. 

- West Ham lost

- Had a massive bbq

- Childfree for the night. 

Just need Chelsea to finish it for the perfect day!

Guess we'll just need to sign a new striker then...

It is a bit crazy getting rid of 2 strikers though, we have other holes in the team. The striker situation might be the start of friction with the board.

Kepa in goal, Werner and Ziyech are back into the starting lineup.

Let's hope it will work, COME ON CHELS!!!

No Pulisic starting?

Kepa....well that’s the FA cup gone

Sucks for Christensen, seems to be injured during his best spell at the club

This tradition of playing the second keeper in the cup can’t it be dropped for the big games 🤔

He can rest against Brighton...

Great Line up. The same as the Liverpool away match were Werner took advantage of their high line . I expect the same , and for some wierd reason i feel confident about today

That is you assuming he doesnt get injured against city, besides he will make a great impact sub

I expected Havertz, Pulisic and CHO to all start, let's hope TT has a cunning plan!

His cunning plan is to get mount to score the opener in the second half after a goalless first half and for it to be tied 1-1 after 90 so I can win some money

Werner in , no Havertz, at lest not starting hmmmmmmm......

Rodri- Fernandinho with De Bruyne ahead of them v Jorginho- Kante; it’s going to be a long evening 

First time Thiago Silva and Kepa have played together so if the former finally starts looking his age after this we'll know why.

Once I saw Kepa I knew it was over. Didn’t even need to who else was starting after seeing him. I get he’s started cup games but this is the semifinals not the fourth round.

He's got us this far, he cost us enough so we have to use him at some point and unfortunately the FA cup these days is just another league cup with so much store put on the PL and the CL so we might as well make him our designated domestic cup keeper

Is Mendy injured? He didn't even make the bench.
