Ludicrous bench!

 

[Goater=Legend]

I don't think Phillips is ready to start two games in a row yet, hes barely played this season.

 

[Centurions]

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

If that was anywhere close to being true then he wouldn't even make the bench.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

We've got to be beating that team.

I would have said so.
Not entirely sure about Laporte and Gomez on the left side, though.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Chelsea going for it today, very attacking

More endeavour with Gallagher for sure, however, hard press from Alverez on Jorginho and holes to be exploited; if he plays anywhere near his standard this season and we’ll have a great opportunity, also think Bernie will run the show centrally!

 

[paulchapo]

Strong Chelsea side that.

 

[Impeccable One]

---Foden--Bernie---
Mahrez-Alvarez-Palmer

Hope you’re correct, Foden needs a change from the wing, where he has been pretty poor recently

 

[jimharri]

Pairing? Mahrez & Alvarez or Palmer & Alvarez?

The latter, I'd say. Mahrez and Foden out wide, I'm guessing.

 

[JRockBlues]

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

Didn't he play there in an earlier cup round?

 

[Cricket Blue]

No Jack in the squad?
