Antonio Conte prepares his Chelsea team for what is likely to be the last time today, and he has no excuses to pick anything other than his strongest team.
Surely he will break with having Willy Caballero in goal for the cup and play Thibaut Courtois. Ahead of him Antonio Rudiger, Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta are likely to make up the back three.
Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses will almost certainly be the wing backs, with Cesc Fabregas set to return to play alongside N’Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko in midfield.
Up front, Eden Hazard will play just behind Olivier Giroud.
Apart from the goalkeeper, it’s a side that pretty much picks itself. Including Bakayoko is a risk, but Conte will want to play a 352 and he doesn’t really have a better option alongside Kante in the middle to free up Fabregas.
We’ve seen Baka play well in some big games this season. This will be the biggest test of all.
