Chelsea's team from the Third Round last season...Caballero, Azpilacueta, Tomari, Thiago Silva, Emerson, Barkley, Kovacic, Hudson-Odoi, Havertz, Mount, Abraham.Ermm... they don't seem to play many kids.

He'll play the reserves again. Only time he hasn't in cup games was semi finals and final in 2020 league cup.

There is no comparable fixture in the early rounds to guess our lineup by.

She was a director of Chelmsford City (Nigel Spink's original club) at one point.

Who is the clueless female presenting the draw?
Chelsea are playing Spurs on the Sunday before, so I presume our game will be on the Wednesday (22nd)?

I suspect Dean is like the majority of managers and prioritises the league massively. Which is bizarre when you consider how limited the opportunities to win honours are for the majority of clubs.
