It’s the FA Cup fifth round, and Chelsea are now one game from another quarter final in the historic competition. We expect Liam Rosenior to go strong once again, as he has in previous rounds.

But with PSG in the Champions League up next, there’s bound to be some rotation. So who will Rosenior go with?

Chelsea’s strong side to face dangerous Wrexham

In goal we will probably see Filip Jorgensen continue after he played in midweek against Aston Villa.

At the back, Reece James should get a rest, so it’s likely to be Malo Gusto on the right. Trevoh Chalobah and Mamadou Sarr seem like the most likely defensive pair, with Wesley Fofana kept out to he can play on Wednesday.

Jorrel Hato should continue on the left, with Marc Cucurella probably getting some minutes as a sub as he works back to fitness.

In midfield, Andrey Santos will come in after missing the Villa game. Alongside him, Moises Caicedo could feature again, with Romeo Lavia perhaps coming on for him at half time.

Ahead of them, there are limited options. Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto will play, but Jamie Gittens and Estevao Willian are out and Rosenior will want to rest Cole Palmer. The manager would probably also like to give Enzo Fernandez a break, but there’s no obvious replacement.

Liam Delap feels likely to lead the line, as he did against Hull in the last round.

In other news…

Andrey Santos is also likely to feature tonight, and he’s been speaking about how his game has developed.
