After a dreadful run of defeats, Chelsea stumble into a sunny FA Cup semi final at Wembley with the chance to make things better – or much, much worse.
Liam Rosenior has been sacked, and his replacement, caretaker Calum McFarlane, is ready to pick his first team. A Wembley semi is some way to start.
Here are the full team line-ups for Leeds vs Chelsea (kick off at 15:00 GMT)
CHELSEA:
So Robert Sanchez keeps his place in goal, Malo Gusto stays at right back with Reece James still not fit to return.
Tosin comes into the defence with Wesley Fofana dropped, and Trevoh Chalobah starts for the second time in a week. In midfield, Romeo Lavia comes in alongside Moises Caicedo, with Enzo Fernandez pushed into the ten.
Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho are the wide options – there’s really no other choice, while Joao Pedro is fit enough to return and lead the line. Let’s hope that makes a difference.
Cole Palmer is only able to start on the bench.
In other news…
Cole Palmer has to step up today, and his manager has made it clear that his priority is to get his star into good positions.
Chelsea boss McFarlane has promised his team will attack today – we hope they can produce a performance worthy of the shirt.
