Colwill not starting in unforgivable.

Although i don't agree with it i can only assume Gusto is starting so he can bomb on and Cucurella stays in defence to lock Antony off. Clearly their most dangerous player tonight.

Alongside Isco. Wealth of experience and quality to back it up.

I can only presume Colwill is carrying a minor injury or something?

"Shop window" ?

Hope he puts in a man of the match performance !

the Shop Window final. lol. We should start KDH then.

It’s a cup final, you start your best players end of.

Really pisses me off Chelsea cobham boys Reece James and Colwill doesn’t start. Badiashille, when was the last time we saw him, f*cking January?

Hope we neutralise Isco he has had a decent season for them and could heaven forbid control the game if we let him. Hes ancient but still has the know how.

I hope we deny him time and space from minute one. I dont wish to be unkind but a couple or three very heavy challenges early on might just reduce his appetite.

The only previous game KDH hasn't started in this comp was the 8-0 win against Noah.

I'll take a repeat of that then, albeit 5 of our 6 leading scorers in the Conference League aren't starting (or aren't even involved at all) tonight LOL

Isco is a fat little hobbit, this isn't 2015 anymore

Only Gusto's 4th start/appearance in this competition. It's Josh that has been playing more (and isn't tonight)

Yeah is BS Josh is not the one in for Reece. What is gusto going to do other than stink up the place?

I don't understand why he has picked a line up to lose this game. CWC isn't for another fortnight. I can't see why he would do this

Caicedo will give him a couple of quietners early on and he’ll become invisible.

He loves their gaffer, football father to him.

Just looked on Bounderfriardale Badiashile has played in previous rounds as has Jorgensen looks like Maresca is trusting the players that got us here.

Let's hope it comes off tonight.

Plenty of top-level experience in that XI, including somebody who has beaten us in a European final before (sort of):

two keepers on the bench, its absurd.

Yes Badiashile has the most starts (level with KDH) of any outfield player. 13 out of the 15 games to get here ...

I was all for the conference league squad getting to finish what they started, but this is not even a quarter of that team.

Acheampong, Tosin, James, KDH, George all miss out.

Maresca just doesn't get it. If he doesn't understand why so many Chelsea fans are so cold towards him, it's because of things like this.

From my point of view, he has to win this game, no excuses, but if he is going exclude the club captain that is loved by the fans in a final, he REALLY has to win this because the fans are going to rip him apart if he doesn't.

Maresca is reaching Benitez levels for me. It's reminding me of how he would treat Terry and would say sh*t like Terry couldn't play 2 games a week anymore.

It's on TNT Sports if that helps.

If we can't beat a team whose record ever signing cost just £25m years ago it'll be f**king embarrassing.
