Stamford Bridge Stadium of London will Host the FA Cup Match Between the Teams Chelsea and Manchester United which is Scheduled to Kickoff on Monday, 1st April at 12:30 GMT.
The FA Cup holders Chelsea will be looking to continue defending
their record as they were winners in 4 of the last 6 seasons in 7
overall. They won 22 out of 27 FA Cup matches and will be looking to add
more silverware. Rafa Benitez has been taking big risks by resting most
of their players in their last Premier League match against Southampton
in which they lost 2-1 playing away. Chelsea are now playing 2 matches
in the short space of 48 hours so it would be understandable to rest
players since the players were also on international duty last week.
Mata could miss this match due to illness and it would be a big upset
for Chelsea if he doesn’t feature in this match. he is one of the most
important key players for Chelsea this season, alongside Eden Hazard who
is set to start in this match.
In the previous FA Cup match against Man United, Chelsea were 2 goals
down but fought back with a 2-2 scoreline and earned an FA Cup match
replay at home. Eden Hazard and Ramires was the goal scorers that helped
Chelsea earn the replay. It will be interesting to see what line-up
Chelsea will play in this match.
Man United are in top form in the Premier League, they also rested
some of their players in the previous Premier match, in which they beat
Sunderland 0-1 playing away. They will also look to play a strong side
against Chelsea in this FA Cup match. Manchester United will be looking
to get a double, so they will most likely be motivated in this match.
Possible line-ups:
CHELSEA: Cech, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Ba.
MANCHESTER UNITED: De Gea, Jones, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Cleverley, Giggs, Welbeck, Rooney, Nani, Chicharito.
