Kovacic and Kante are both fit and ready to go.

Great news.

Thankfully Kova is back so we can rotate our midfield pivot, hopefully Ziyech starts over Havertz. I also think Tuchel was naive to point out that Kante had a problem with his right achilles, just f**king say his achilles now players know his weakness and were to attack.

                     Kepa

       Azpi     Silva       Rudiger

James    Kante    Jorginho     Chilwell

       Ziyech     Werner      Mount

Hey, you get these posts no matter how well the match is going!

@axman2526 can you not use one of the many, many streams available?

If I was not working probably but the time difference means the game starts 15 minutes after I start and usually for Saturday the busy period is the morning.

So usually I use DaZn and pause as needed, with a stream that does not work as well. Work intent is a bit pish too.

No complaints though, DaZn means I can see every league game whenever I can, league cup, europe and even Championship and below if I want and is a lot cheap than having cable. 

Just sucks on days like tomorrow but hey i will read through the thread when i can and look forward to your commentary imaging i am watching the game  😉

I would play Christensen over Zouma though since Tuchel said he is back and rest Azpi. Also Jorginho will definitely start with Kante. No point rushing Kova. I say Kova comes off the bench in both Leicester games and is given 90 mins against Villa

What I have not caught his presser. Christensen is fit as well as Kova and Kante?

azbi silva rudiger 

james jorginho kante alonso 

mount Ziyech

bring on kova for the last 30 mins

We also needed added height against Leicester.

@Valerie I’ll be having my best mate & his family over for the game tomorrow and I’ve responsibly made sure there is ice cream for everybody. Now that worry is off your mind please don’t forget to buy your own!

This is who I would pick:

                Mendy

        Azpi Silva Rudiger

James    Kante     Jorginho  Chilwell

               Mount

Ziyech     Havertz    Werner

Kova - bench option, always unsure about starting someone just back from injury. Sames goes for Christensen if fit.

Pulisic -bench with a view to bring on at 60 min mark.

Think we would all like 11 outfield players and a keeper but the ref will probably notice 😉

Conflicting reports I have seen on that. Neither on Sky nor weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com  is TT quoted as saying Andreas is fit, he does not even mention him. 

Though he does say the whole squad is fit...confusing lol

@Munkworth Thank you for the heads up. I've acquired 2 pints of Ben & Jerry's. Do you think it will be enough for just me, it's a final after all 🤔

Just the thought of losing 2 FA cup finals back to back, and another final in 2 weeks, makes me want to slip into a medically induced coma until 2023

Thanks missed that and for me Ziyech also on the bench.

If you can avoid spoilers I know a couple of websites that will upload the match probably a couple of hours after its finished so when you get home from work you can pretend you're it watching live with a couple of beers?

Can't @axman2526 watch the preview and tell us to avoid it or not?

Sure I will give that a go. Cheers Malta blue. Worst case they font work in Canada and I will read through the match day thread later.

Every chance tomorrow will be like today and I will be on the go for the 2 hours the game is on for anyways.

he's beating around the bush, like 24 hour decission betwen him and Johnny.

my guess is he's playing.

I think it's really important we pick up a piece of silverware, now that we've worked our way into this situation. To consider losing tomorrow, not making top 4 and losing the CL final - it'd be catastrophic and derail the progress this squad has made under Frank and TT.

So for me, it has to be all out for a win tomorrow, let's get that winning thing back and take it into next week full of confidence.

Agreed! 

Nothing change attitude and momentum more than winning a piece of silverware. Let it begins.
