What are people's thoughts on the cup final.
Who will jose pick?
I would suggest based on team selections to date that ddg, young valencia smalling matic pogba sanchez lukaku will all start. Herrera Jessie and Bailly would be my picks to fill out that team.
But there have been suggestions that he might play 3 at the back.

After Jose picked Fellaini against Seville, I have given up trying to guess what side he would pick for a big match but if I was the gaffer I would opt for:
DDG
Valencia Jones Baily Young
Herrera Matic Pogba
Lingard Lukaku Sanchez
I think what may be interesting is whether Martial is in the squad? Not really looked into what happened with him so unsure of whether he is genuinely injured but I am unsure on this so I think if he is not in the squad that could be telling with regards to what is happening to him next year. Unless of course he is actually injured then I apologise!

I'd be surprised if he didn't play 3 at the back Ken with some special provision for Hazard.
I fully expect a tactical, cagey, affair which could easily go to penalties or I think the team that scores the first goal will win the game.
I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea started Grioud and Morata up front together with Hazard in behind. If he gets man marked they may use their wing backs to put crosses into the box and make life difficult for our CB's.
This wouldn't be mine team but I think he'll play -
DDG
Lindelof Smalling Jones
Valencia Herrera Matic Pogba Young
Lingard Sanchez
I think Lukaku will start instead of Lingard if fit.

Dlib. That would be my 3 at the back side except I think lukaku will start for sure.
Ports he has played smalling in every game pretty much this season so I don't expect him to be dropped nor should he be imo.

Yay! Let's talk about football. I agree he will go three at the back. I'd like to think he'd go 3 4 3 but I think Jose's brain would malfunction with such an attacking line up.
My team would be
Lindelof, Bailly, Jones
Young Pogba Matic Shaw
Sanchez Lukaku Martial
I expect Jose will pick
Lindelof Smalling Jones
Valencia Pogba Matic Fellaini Young
Sanchez Lukaku.

I really like that first team MancMan I would say that is our strongest team. However I think you are correct and he will go for the second one.

No way fellaini will start ahead of herrera. He will hopefully have learnt from Seville at home.
Manc man no way will we see shaw start. I doubt he will make the bench. I think he should make the bench.

Jose will name the oldest line up available to him on the day. Lol.

Like the positivity over lindelof, alas i feel the special one may not be willing to put his trust in him if the likes of giroud and moratta play together, but somehow i feel conte will mix it up and use a big target man, but go for a pacey player up top too, maybe pedro, which also begs the question, does jose trust bailly fully yet, or has leaving bailly out of the starting line up recently been another cunning plan to inspire bailly-my guess is jose and conte having a big smackdown WWE style on the sidelines, players getting involved and certain galic legend dropping his kronenburg 1664 pint and going all bruce lee on chavski's asses! -now that would be a carlsberg advert i'd love to see! (with mixed metaphors thrown in! -and you can keep your 'the only way is windsor' reality show on the other side too! )
