Chelsea will collide with Manchester City in the most anticipated FA Cup tie of the last 16 round.
Against all odds, Jose Mourinho’s men defeated the sky blues at the Etihad Stadium to end their perfect home record in the league.
Can the Blues beat the Citizens again, we shall see.
However, the fixture is going to be a bit different as Manchester City have a huge game coming up against Barcelona in midweek and may as well look to rest more players.
Chelsea are expected to rest a few as well after hectic schedule and one player that is most likely to start for the Blues is winter signing Mohamed Salah.
Having only got few minutes in his first three league games for Chelsea, now Salah is all set for a massive first start in a big game.
Capable of playing on both flanks, the former Basel star has all the qualities to rip City’s defense apart.
Not to forget, the Egyptian international ripped Chelsea apart twice in the Champions League beating them both home and away before coming to the Stamford Bridge club.
If there is one player City’s defense need to keep a close eye on in the likely absence of Hazard, it will be Mohamed Salah.

chelsea will win 3 to 1

I would go with the following players:
Defence: Azpi—-Iva—–Luiz—-Cole
Midfield: Salah(right wing)—Matic—Lamps—Willian(behind the lone striker)—Shurrle(left wing)
Striker: Torres
This results in 4:1 in favor of Chelsea, but attack is the best form of defence in this game!!!
mourinho is proving us critics wrong, chelsea’s performances have been short of sublime but effective. Typical of moirinho tactics.but one has to but wonder where players like andre schurrle fit in mourinho’s game plan. The boy is a fantastic player who has speed and packs a shot in those legs of his. We all have seen him play and i really hope he makes his mark today in the mancity match provided he plays. Hope salah and schurrle start, hazard and willian can rest today.
