Thats true and the players who were out this weekend would still be midweek..and that's if our situation doesn't get worse as well

Not sure about that. Was not Kai, positive, negative, positive last week?

What ever we field is going to look horrendous. 

[King Kante 1,300]

Kepa

Dave Silva Rudi

James Jorgi RLC Saul

Ziyech Puli Mount

Bench

Mendy, Sarr, Alonso Kova, Kante, Barkley, Vale. 

Alonso looks like he is struggling with an injury at the moment, so I would go with Saul at LWB. May be some arguments to start Sarr instead of Silva to save him for the PL. 

Not sure many of the others' can be rested unless Kai and AC are actually back. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,199]

I'd like us to go strong but the injury/Covid list is piling on. Starting to feel like we are the only Top 6 club really affected here. 

[NikkiCFC 7,584]

Just like in 2 previous rounds try to get a draw and let Kepa do his thing.

Brentford have not played for 2 weeks , they not  have any  infected  players and will probably play with solid team 

Chelsea is in terrible shape, 6-7 key players are missing, others are injured and others are out of shape

never will have  a more certain victory for Brentord

Yeah, I am banking on a loss tomorrow. In some ways, I think we may just have to go with a primarily U23 side with a few Sarr's, Saul's and Barkley's thrown in. No point breaking down a key starter with 7+ out with covid/injury. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,199]

Just make it to penalties and Kepa will handle it from there. 

[cosmicway 1,252]

Another one bites the dust.

Yep it's a shame as with City out we really should have been winning this (unless Liverpool roll out the A team) but I can't see how we can go with anything other than a scratch side tonight.

Maybe put in Edou and hope he can repeat his heroics from the league game there (and obviously switch with Kepa if a shootout is looming).
