Things have been looking up for Chelsea in the past two weeks as Roberto Di Matteo has guided us to three wins in-a-row in the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League respectively. Next up is Leicester City in the FA Cup quarter final and although it’s against a team in the division below, it represents our best chance of silverware and we won’t be taking any chances.
The FA Cup is a competition that is close to Di Matteo’s heart for obvious reasons and he has said that he will pick the strongest team available to secure the west Londoner’s place at Wembley in the semi finals.
Both David Luiz and John Terry picked up knocks during the dramatic win against Napoli in the week which will give the manager something to think about, especially as he has a well rested Gary Cahill to choose.
I reckon there could also be a place for John Obi Mikel in the midfield as he will also be fresh and was one of the best players on the park when Chelsea played Stoke last weekend.
Both Juan Mata and Ashley Cole have played a lot of football this season and I don’t think it would do any harm to give them a little rest, at least omit them from the starting line-up.

Anyone but Mikel. He is so lazy and doesn’t know anything except passing sideway or backward.
