After a long time, players will have a whole week to rest after this game. So I expect a pretty strong lineup. But I hope that Hazard is on the bench at most, he started in our last 4 matches.

why not Schurrle instead of Willian?

Derby are a handy enough side and we will not want to take them too lightly as we need to win this one .I wouldn't tweak our team too much as too many changes don't benefit the team in my opinion. Plus we will have had a full weeks rest which should be enough for any professional player.

JT could do with a break so trying this partnership could be a possibility.

Dont think he'll play Essien or De Bruyne as rumours are they are on the way out. But hey! What the f@ck do I know

[Ollie 4,400]

Surely the 4 up front should be Schurrle, KDB and Mata any order with Ba up front. Anything else would be stupid.

I think we'll win very comfortably anyway, i feel very confident atm after our last 2 games and we always do well in the FA Cup.

Yeah and Azpi has been playing a lot lately! Could do with the rest.

We do have a week off between this game and the next....playing the 'first choice' of Willian, Oscar and Hazard gives them another proper match to build that chemistry. The first priority needs to be to get a win.

Play the youngsters. I'd love to see someone like Boga or RLC get a game here.

Like to see them on the bench, but Derby aren't going to be a pushover.

Yesterday, you wanted to play Traore, Kalas..today, you want the best to play ? lol.

One thing I agree, one week between the games, just hammer them, by half, then rest the boys.

People are living a fantasy world if they expect to see the likes of Ake and RLC or any other youth players in the team. The FA Cup is a big trophy and Mourinho won't be playing any youth players for sure. It is a trophy he wants to win. That has always been the policy here.
