Chelsea vs Manchester United: Maurizio Sarri to select ‘strong team’ for FA Cup clash, Gianfranco Zola confirms
Maurizio Sarri will name a strong Chelsea line-up for Monday’s FA Cup fifth round clash against Manchester United, which comes with the Italian under serious pressure.Thursday’s Europa League defeat of Malmo did little to stabilise Sarri’s position at Stamford Bridge despite it ending a run of four successive away losses, including last weekend’s humbling by Manchester City.Sarri’s position is under threat following a series of poor results2

The Blues have now fallen out the Premier League’s top four, but they can do nothing to right that wrong this weekend with the league taking a back seat and cup action coming to the forefront.Chelsea host Manchester United in the FA Cup fifth round in what is a repeat of last year’s final, won by the west Londoners courtesy of Eden Hazard’s penalty.

Both clubs have different managers in the dugout now than they did that May evening, with Antonio Conte leaving Chelsea a couple of months after the Wembley showpiece and Jose Mourinho losing his job in December.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Mourinho on an interim basis and guided United to an 11-match unbeaten run, though that came to an end earlier this week when PSG rocked up at Old Trafford and won 2-0 in the Champions League round of 16. Nonetheless, many United fans consider the FA Cup a real chance of silverware and progressing past Chelsea would knock another top six team out the competition with Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool already gone.A similar thought will be in Sarri’s mind as he hopes to ease the pressure on him by claiming a first ever trophy in professional football, and the Italian will play a strong team on Monday night rather than risk Chelsea’s progression by rotating for the cup.Gianfranco Zola, who was taking Friday’s press conference in Sarri’s stead, explained: “We are going to have to assess a few players, Ruben Loftus-Cheek might be available.

“I know United werent going through a great time, but I knew the value of the team. You can see when someone is focused in what they are doing, Ole does that.“At the moment they are enjoying what they are doing.“When you have the qualities they have, it is strange because they had a very good coach before but sometimes things dont work out.“The value of the team is not in doubt.”

The Spurs star has been in fine form but in the Carabao Cup semi final first leg against Chelsea looked incredible leggy. Hes got one game left before he leaves on international duty too, which means sales will go up, decreasing his value. Sell him and keep the coin for a new player.

FPL bosses still dont trust him despite his recent run of four goals in four games with an ownership of just three per cent. Its a bit mad really, Tottenham represent a tough challenge but he netted against them last term and could be up against a rusty Jan Vertonghen and then its games with Fulham and Wolves. Have a little faith and forget the narrative.
