I personally have high hopes we can win. Something magical about the Fa Cup and wembly and it has worked in our favor and always pushed our players for top performances.

This is bad, when you had very low hopes we knocked Manure out... :Goober:

Silva was forced off late in Monday's 2-1 derby win over Manchester United and manager Roberto Mancini fears the Spaniard will not recover in time to face Chelsea at Wembley.

"I think it is a hamstring injury. Maybe it is not so bad but I don't think he will be ready for Chelsea," said the Italian.

This is great news, improves our chances to win the game tenfold.

Same line-up as the Man Utd Replay. That is our most 'solid' XI imo. Ivanovic and Luiz have conceded just 2 goals in the 6 games they've paired up keeping 4 cleansheets including Man Utd and Man City. As good as Terry is, he'll be uncomfortable with forwards like Tevez and Aguero



Cech


Azpilicueta Ivanovic Luiz Bertrand


Mikel Ramires


Oscar Mata Hazard


Ba


Bench: Turnbull Terry, Cahill, Lampard, Moses, Marin, Torres

Ba and Torres upfront maybe? a 442 is worth experimenting

Don't see the point in this. Why should we play a formation that forces our two best players (Mata & Hazard) to play out of position just to accomodate a Torres-Ba partnership up front? Doesn't make much sense.
