Match Preview
Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has
vowed to treat the FA Cup with 'respect' and says
he will select a full-strength side for Manchester
City's visit on Sunday in the fifth round.
However, Blues captain John Terry will miss the
game with a hamstring injury.
Terry, who has lifted the FA Cup five times,
missed Chelsea's 2-1 Champions League last-16
first-leg loss at Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday
night with the problem sustained in last
Saturday's Premier League win over Newcastle.
Oscar returned from a calf injury in the midweek
Champions League defeat and could come in to
start, perhaps at the expense of Eden Hazard.
Midfielder Nemanja Matic is available following
his European suspension, but Alexandre Pato is
still short of match fitness and Kurt Zouma (knee)
and Radamel Falcao (thigh) are long-term
absentees.
Chelsea midfielder Oscar could replace Eden Hazard.
Meanwhile, Manchester City only have 13 fit first-
team players to pick from, according to their
manager Manuel Pellegrini, who is prioritising
Wednesday's Champions League tie away at
Dynamo Kiev.
Pellegrini is planning to rest some of his key first-
team players and could give minutes to
youngsters Bersant Celina, Cameron Humphreys
and Angelino.
Pam
Guus Hiddink has confirmed John Terry will miss
Chelsea's FA Cup tie
Manchester City have lost two games on the trot,
big games, too. When was the last time when
they lost three games in a row? Manuel Pellegrini
said he's likely to make changes for this game as
they have to travel to Kiev in midweek, but that
was before they lost two matches in a row. It will
be close, but I think Chelsea wil

Chelsea for life....

I'm just pitying this man city squad . They'll tryna field a weakened squad due to their UCL in mid week and since Chelsea obviously has nothing to play for, we'll field a squad stronger than city's. I predict Chelsea FC 5 - 0 Man City Fc.

if this your score line goes through, I will ban myself for One month!

Ma still book space first.

No doubt Pellegrini will use some youngster in this fixture due to champion league and injuries in the team, but I still fancy them to give a strong Chelsea side a hard time.








Verdict: Chelsea 2-1 Man city
