Unfortunately Chelsea seem to play better against teams in the top 6 this season. They deserve their dross for teams below that mark.
Luckily so much of their team is turned over that the "revenge factor" for the previous two cup finals shouldn't be there
Every win with this injury list and fixture compression feels like a big deal so this would be a landmark win, closing out a competition. Belief is what we have right now so the momentum is critical.
Yes, Chelsea will be a very tough nut to crack and they'll be encouraged by all of our injury issues.
Momentum is a big thing in football, we have that right now and hopefully that gives us the edge to win in 90 minutes.
Think Jurg will go Mo/Gakpo/Diaz up front with Mac/Endo/Elliot in mid.
I expect there will be heavy rotation for the FA cup game v Soton.
