Chelsea face bottom of League One Port Vale in the FA Cup today, a perfect chance for full rotation.
But after four defeats in a row and some terrible vibes over the international break, Liam Rosenior needs not just a win, but a very authoritative one. It will be very interesting to see how strong he goes with his selection. Rosenior’s strong team to take on Port Vale In goal we’d expect to see Robert Sanchez, mainly because we don’t even know if Filip Jorgensen is fit yet after surgery.
The back line should see Josh Acheampong get a start at right back, with likely Tosin Adarabioyo and Mamadou Sarr in the middle. Jorrel Hato should be at left back. In midfield, injury afflicted Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia have had the whole international break to prepare to try and complete 90 minutes.
Out wide, Alejandro Garnacho and Estevao both should be fit and ready to play. If we were going to throw one youngster into the mix, it would surely be Jesse Derry as there’s a space for another attacker between the lines. Liam Delap should lead the line, and boy does he need a good performance.
