Chelsea (H) - Sun 8th Jan, 16:30 - FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

[grim up north]

Is Lewis already being rested for bigger games?

Getting Walker fit

 

[jimharri]

Am I right in thinking the draw for the next round is before we kick off?

Yes.

 

[Shaffer92]

Would assume left wing with Mahrez on the right and Palmer in midfield. Would prefer Palmer wide and Foden in midfield though.

If Palmer is playing in the midfield before Foden.. It's a slap in the face of Phil.

 

[Goater=Legend]

Good team that, hope its Foden in the middle and not Palmer.

Rodri might play 60-70 minutes and come off for Phillips.

 

[richards30]

Wow Rodri is getting flogged! Phillips must be really in the bad books! I wonder if pep is fed up with him already?!

Chelsea team is in:

That looks stronger than the team we played the other night.....And we have a weaker team out imho

 

[Centurions]

Surprised, and disappointed, to see Rodri in the side today. The guy needs a break, he plays nearly every game for us. Excited to see that pairing upfront, though.

Pairing? Mahrez & Alvarez or Palmer & Alvarez?

 

[super_city_si]

Palmer in kevs role? Hope its foden there and palmer wide

Yeah I thought they would be a lot weaker than they are today mate as with the injuries they already have I thought he might play the kids and save more first teamers.

 

[Raskolnikov.]

Man I wish he’d rest Rodri, hopefully he only plays 45 mins.
