FA Cup Fifth Round: Chelsea Vs Man Utd (0 - 2) Live by BravoDe: 7:11pm On Feb 18, 2019 |
MON 18 FEB 2019 THE FA CUP - FIFTH ROUND BETWEEN CHELSEA AND MAN UTD WOULD TAKE PLACE TODAY AT STAMFORD BRIDGE BY 8:30PM TEAM NEWS FA Cup holders Chelsea will assess the fitness of several unnamed players before Monday's tie. Ruben Loftus-Cheek's ongoing back problem kept him out against Malmo, while Marcos Alonso was rested for that game - both could return. Manchester United forwards Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard face at least a fortnight out because of respective groin and hamstring injuries. Teenagers Tahith Chong and Angel Gomes may feature, along with Marcos Rojo. Full-backs Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia remain sidelined. VIEW FROM THE DUGOUT Chelsea assistant head coach Gianfranco Zola: "Nobody is pleased when you lose games the way we did recently. Not only the players, but the coaches and everyone. It's a moment when we've been alternating the results, going from one good performance to a bad one... "We have to be consistent. We all know this, and it's important everyone understands the situation and is working on it: coaches, players and club. "This is important. The unity facing the challenge will make the difference." Manchester United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: "You have to bounce back at this club. You'll always have challenges, and away against Chelsea is one of the tougher challenges. "We know there was a spell against PSG - seven, eight, nine or 10 minutes - where we lost our way a bit. But apart from that, we weren't too bad defensively. "We need to keep working on the way we want to play football - the way we approach the games will always be in an attacking, positive mind." |
