It's impossible to predict a lineup for this game, given our injury situation.

I would guess six fans from the lower tier and five from the upper!!

Is DD Fofana is fit I would like to see him start. 

Match Day !

Come On Chelsea!!

Kepa

Azpilicueta Chalobah K2 Hall

Kovacic - Zakaria - Mount

Ziyech - Havertz - Chuckwuemeka

No real idea what to expect or what our team selection will be today.

No, not a clue what exactly either.

If only DDF was brave enough to take Morata’s former 29. Then you’d be on to something. 

Has this season ended yet ? My hamstring is a bit iffy,but I've got my boots,just in case.....UP THE CHELS !

Unbelievable how we get City in the cup this early on, but I suppose it's a second shot to see how we perform against the best team in the league at their place.

Would love nothing more than to get something out of this, even if we managed to get a replay. Especially with all the pressure the media are trying to heap on Potter and co.

Is Mount fit? 

Anyone know if Datro Fofana will be in the travelling squad? 

Unbelievable we haven't bought a good back up RB for years. Relying on Azpi will always end in tears. Like Ivanovic, he is past his prime and no longer is a good RB for a team that want to challenge. 

Field the strongest team possible. Its our only real chance of silverware 

 

But I'm not holding my breath.

Lewis Hall and Chucky must start .

Keep the faith up the Chels

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Play the young players they deserve it and actually played better against City 

When we last played City away with Potter, he played Hall and Broja. I imagine he may do so again. 

Broja is out for the rest of the season!

Oh I know. I just meant that he will probably go with Hall and another young player again. I guess the other would be Chekwemeka. I think it's too early for Datro Fofana. 

Yea good point, but I think he’ll just leave Kai up there chasing dreams!

Any idea if Mount, Pulisic or Sterling are available?

Can’t see the new signings playing. City away isn’t the type of game go throw them in.

It's only a run out today after all, so I don't see any damage being done even if they played most of the development squad let alone the newbies.  There were days when a £20m+ player walked into the first team, these days they go to the development squad...oh how times have changed.

Perhaps all of our players should wear 42 given that it is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the university and everything.

I would actually prefer to forgo the FA Cup and focus on the CL and league. Right now the squad is depleted and we have to play Fulham in four days. Man City are probably going to rotate a fair bit too. I seen a predicted lineup from a local Manchester paper and they have KDB, Haaland, Walker, Cancelo, Gundogan all being rested. 

I thought Mount out of the 10 Injured was the only one that could make it. Plus Silva rested 

Hopefully Luca can have a word and get us a bit of Devine intervention. It’s going to be an emotional one this.
