Chelsea face Manchester United at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup tonight, and the teams are in!
As we predicted in our XI before the game, Maurizio Sarri has frustrated fans by picking what is really his ideal XI.
That means Alonso in at left back, and Kovacic in the midfield with Kante and Jorginho.
You may not like it,Β but at least we warned you it was coming. RLC is not even fit enough for the bench, which is a shame. Ethan Ampadu is also outside the 18. That makes Callum Hudson-Odoi our only chance for youth team excitement off the bench.
To be honest itβs probably a good setup to take on this United team. This isnβt the time to take too many risks, nor the team to take them against.
