Predicted Chelsea line-up vs Manchester City

Chelsea are scheduled to face Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley tonight.

The Blues go into the game after a 1-0 defeat to Porto in their second leg of their Champions League quarter final.

Irrespective of that, they qualified for the last four of the elite competition after a 2-1 aggregate triumph across both legs.

Formation: 3-4-2-1

Predicted Line-up:

Kepa Arrizabalaga has got the nod for the Cup games this term. He could feature between the sticks ahead of Edouard Mendy, who is now the first-choice goalkeeper.

In the central defence, a solitary change could be on the cards. Andreas Christensen is still unavailable due to injury, and we fancy Kurt Zouma to replace Thiago Silva in the back three.

Reece James and Ben Chilwell are pretty much guaranteed starters in the wing-back positions. The same should be the case for Jorginho and N'Golo Kante in midfield with Mateo Kovacic out with a hamstring issue.

Further forward, Mount is almost indispensable at the moment, and he should take up one of the attacking positions. He could be accompanied by Christian Pulisic, who bagged a brace at Crystal Palace last weekend.

The USA international was also lively against Porto, but could not find the back of the net. Kai Havertz may get the nod over Timo Werner, Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham upfront once again.

Predicted Chelsea line-up: Kepa Arrizabalaga; Cesar Azpilicueta, Kurt Zouma, Antonio Rudiger; Reece James, Jorginho, N'Golo Kante, Ben Chilwell; Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic; Kai Havertz.
