Closed Shrewsbury Town v Chelsea

[iseah100 5,612]

This is a good time to rest our guys. Zouma, Cahill, Christensen, Ake, Mikel, Ramires, Salah, Boga, Schurrle, Solanke

[Madmax 9,219]

If the young 'uns don't play tomorrow, they never will. Mourinho's walk should reflect his talk. I won't complain if we go out of the cup having started Baker, Solanke, Ake and the like.

Definitely a big event for them.

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Can't see Jose playing more than 3-4 youngsters. Probably Zouma, Ake, Solanke.

[LAM09 6,535]

I expect changes galore. A chance for our fringe players to stake a claim for future selections.

-Zouma--Cahill--Christensen--Luis-

----------Ake---------Ramires----------

Bench: Schwarzer, Kane, Mikel, RLC, Willian, Brown, Drogba.

Mix of youth and experience starting, mix of youth and experience on the bench.

[Viper22 2,418]

Really hoping to see Todd Kane at least make the bench tomorrow. With both our RBs suspended he's our next most senior RB. Zouma can play there and probably will but would be nice to see him on the bench, he looked decent at Blackburn last season.

Is Rami fit? If he wasn't fit yesterday I don't think he'll be fit to start tomorrow. Think he'll be on the bench at most.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

On a different note, Solanke and Boga start for the U21s tonight so they will most definitely not be part of the squad tomorrow.

EDIT: The youngsters that have traveled with the squad, as expected, are Ake, Christensen, Brown and Baker (and Zouma if you count him as a youngster).

[Stats 6,980]

Boga and Solanke both start for U21 tonight so highly doubt they will be involved. As to previous comment or so, Todd Kane starts as well so he won't play. Izzy Brown is not involved tonight so it is very possible that we will see him take part tomorrow or be on the bench at least. Baker, Christensen and Ake also not involved so hopefully we see them involved. Annoyed about Boga. Looked very good in pre-season but can't ever seem to make our bench. A shame as if he can't get into the squad for this game, can never see him getting a chance this season.

[DavidEU 2,023]

Ake, Baker, Christensen and Brown not involved with the U21s tonight so could all feature tomorrow.

Solanke plays for U21s though, as do Boga and Loftus-Cheek.

That doesn't sound legit AT ALL!

If he's not fit then i'd drop Baker back to his position, then Willian on at CAM. Bring Boga onto the bench if Ramires isn't even fit enough for that.

No Boga tomorrow. He's playing for the U21s right now. No Solanke either.

It doesn't, but could be what his Facebook status was all about where he was saying it was his time.

[Tautvix 1,321]

Doesn't look like these guys are gonna play tomorrow too.
