Given our current level of injuries/illness, I think Vale starts this one. Possibly Hall as well

No regulars, even on the bench. Only those who are back ups and need minutes and youths please.

 

Marcus B 

 

Brooking/Gilchrist 

Mbuyamba 

Sarr

 

Simons

RLC

Saul

Hall

 

Barkley

Vale

 

Werner

I expect Lukaku to score minimum 2 goals for this one. 

I'm not sure that Lukaku should even be on the bench for this one. If the wind blows correctly our regular squad could all get injured and sick with just one gust. 

I want to see Lewis Baker play a game for Chelsea. This is the time.

Why exactly?

Remember people pay to see these matches so they do expect to see a team that can play and that will need a balance of the first team squad and development squad. 

I would like to see Lukaku as I think he needs to be amongst the goals following his outburst and apology.

I agree.

It’s great for the team to have a bit of a rest. Jorginho, Kante can give themselves a holiday. Werner can play a bit etc. just what the dr ordered. 

after the presser:

Dave and Kai are OK.

Kante&Silva have no simptoms.

We are going into the market to replace Chilly in January (Emerson is an option).

Rudi will sign 

 

PLAY THE U9s.. little Timmy Turnstile needs some game time and Tommy needs to see it

So this should be a 4 - 0 win minimum even for backups.

Anything can happen in the FA Cup!

We will go A- minus strength for me.

Kepa

Expect Azpi, Chalobah, Sarr

RWB- CHO

LWB - Dev Squad

Saul, Jorginho

Ziyech, Lukaku, Werner

Betenneli is starting this one.

But for who?

TT will play a strong 11  expect to see Kepa, Sarr, AC , Saul, Kova, Barkley, RLC, Werner & Rom from 1st team at least.  TT alluded to in his presser that a lot of players coming back need minutes. No point in messing around with too many kids, Chesterfield may be a non league outfit but they are in good from and will be well up for it.

Bring them on!

Chelsea 2-4 Bradford City, 4th Round, 2015. And we were 2-0 up.

I’m gonna be in the west stand for this one

Will be interesting to see how ridiculous this line up will be, just purely because it is the cup and you never know.. I hope at the very least we’ve got Kepa.

Without meaning to be pedantic, He already has.
