What sort of team are we expecting Chelsea to put out?
2nd rate id say, will this still be enough to beat a desperately poor Arsenal side?

I reckon it'll be a decent team to try and secure third spot

Gunna rest a few with Saturday in mind Aspro surely? Not bargelike yet but they are on the drift....a difficult balancing act for Herr Tuthel.
Willian may have bagged himself a start after his goal on Sunday so thats one player he can forget about  |
|
By:
He'll rest a few but the players coming in will be fresh and will want to get a run in the finals so it might actually make them just as strong if not stronger than playing full strength after two big games on Weds/Sat

Fair point lurka. I don't think he'll throw the game away though. One or two absent perhaps.

Second place is not out of the question

Good point Lurka. I imagine he'll swap his keeper , give Gilmour another run out,start with Zouma and maybe Giroud

Second place is not important!
Champions League football is. A win against Arsenal will almost certainly secure it or take them close. Losing tonight or even a draw will put them under unnecessary pressure. A win tonight with his best team gives them confidence and the players are on a roll. They can rest players after the Cup Final. Anything else would be madness. I would though love Arsenal to do what they do best confound us. Show us they are not completely useless! I fear that might be too much to ask even against Chelsea seconds as we have Chelsea thirds in our team! Willian looked good with Sake overlapping. I had never seen him pass the ball forward before the last game! |

Chelsea's defence is playing very well as a unit atm. Arsenal seem to struggle to create chances with the first choice eleven. Really does depend on who Tuchel & Arteta choose to play. Draw good enough for Chelsea?

The FA cup in reality means very little, it is these days a nice to win bauble, to add a bit of gloss onto a successful season.
Tuchel is a good and perceptive manager, clearly understanding that qualifying for next seasons CL is far more important. He may make changes, but I really can't forsee wholesale changes and playing the stiffs as United did last nite. |
|
By:
Yeah, the FA Cup is just a novelty these days and Tuchel will play a strong team. A confident Chelsea side should easily maulicate this Arsenal rabble.

Gut says no bet Will take a watching brief and see how it starts |

The Arse have been so poor this season - even worse than us and that is saying someting - that this is the kind of game they somehow spring a surprise.
FWIW, I laid Chelsea earlier at 1.72 for a few pennies and will let it ride at this stage. |

Lose this Tuchel and all your credit in the bank will quickly evaporate.

Come on the Arse. Lets see a little bit of intrigue into CL qualification, even if it does not last.

Just when you think Tuchel is the messiah he goes and has an absolute skinter like being thrashed at home to WBA and losing to Arse.
