Chelsea vs Portsmouth

Sunday 8th January - 3pm - The FA Cup

[Madmax 9,219]

What heady memories from the last time this fixture took place ...

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Josh and Ryan to start, maybe even Lukaku. Hutch to get some minutes. Chalobah and Lalković on the bench. It will never happen though.

[Billy. 2,742]

R_Lukaku Romelu Lukaku

Great win today.. Excellent mentality after the goal we conceded a goal. Now enjoy our day Off and train hard for the next Cup Game #cfc

I think he's really hoping to start.

I think he's really hoping to start.

I think he will, hopefully he can score a few.

[Laylabelle 9,349]

Should be a nice strightforward game on paper..probbaly wont be...Torres to score ...gotta happen sometime!

[Tomo 21,733]

Any player who has played a big part in the christmas programme should be rested for this one and i mean not even on the bench.

----------------------------------------------Turnbull--------------------------------------

Hutchinson----Cahill(if signed)---------------Ivanovic----------Bertrand

----------------------------------------------Chalaboh-----------------------------------

------------------------------McEachran------------------Malouda-----------------

Kalou-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Kakuta

----------------------------------------------Lukaku----------------------------------------

SUBS: Hilario, Kane, B.Clifford, Deen-Conteh, Djalo, Lalkovic, Phillip.

It games like this were still having Kalou and Malouda with their expierence around will come in handy.

Ivanovic should play as he missed the christmas period so will have a run out.

Hopefully a CB will be signed by then so can slot alongside.

Hutchinson and Bertand deserve shots at full back while Chalaboh and McEachran shouldplay CM.

Kakuta we should re-call and let him play this one before sending him on loan in France.

I know it will leave us pretty thin but the first team players need a rest, they looked like running on empty at times in the festive games and really need a week to freshen up.

This is definitely a match for youth to be served. Pompey aren't doing so hot this season, so I think we should still win even with an extremely young lineup. The only caveat is this is a cup tie, so anything can happen. Looking forward to watching this one if the perveyors of streaming internet abide.

Youth players have a lot to do with match experience, and Porthmouth ( if they do not give up ) have more experienced and more physically strong players which could cause problems. so I would rather expect a mixed line-up, after all our players have a whole week to recover.

[Nic! 301]

I'd opt for a mix with youth players who have a bit of experience, like Lukaku, Josh and Bertrand.

[Swedish House Mafia 508]

Hutchinson, Lukaku, Bertrand and McEachran to start please.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

Is this game being shown on any television station?

[Mr. Ziggles 110]

I know it's not on ITV (instead they'll show United vs City and the Peterborough match)... but Sky Sports have been useless as of late, for the last few weeks we've only seen ONE or TWO proper matches.

But yeah, hope a bunch of our youngsters + some of the older players with points to prove play, not the same old same old.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

I would love to see Lalko play

[Mr. Ziggles 110]

I would love to see Lalko play

Agreed, I swear he's scored quite a few times for our Reserves this season... alongside Lukaku perhaps?

[Kojo 4,676]

I'm at Newcastle v Blackburn game on saturday, don't ask, friend who is a massive Newcastle fan wants me to go. So thank god this game is on Sunday.

[Laylabelle 9,349]

Goal conceded in the last 10 minutes no doubt
