Drop them: Conte must axe these 2 players from today’s starting Chelsea FA Cup XI against Spurs

It was a truly miserable weekend for those of a Chelsea persuasion here in the Transfer Tavern following last Sunday’s 2-0 reverse at the hands of Manchester United, with Spurs closing the gap at the top to just four points.

Antonio Conte has a massive chance to land a league and cup double during his first season in English football and a win against Spurs today would set up a final berth against either Arsenal or Manchester City.

Several of the club’s supporters have spent lots of time supping in the Tavern this season and they are still excited at what is to come at the end of the campaign, despite last weekend’s disappointing reverse.

Our landlord is never one to shy away from having an opinion and he has been casting his eye over what the Chelsea team could be today. Here he looks at two players who should be chopped from the team by Italian boss Conte.

Victor Moses

The Nigerian has operated as a wing-back for a large chunk of the current campaign but of late he has looked jaded to say the very least, with a rest looking like an ideal scenario for the player.

One Chelsea fan is sat flicking through the day’s newspaper and he believes that Moses should be replaced in the side for this game, stating that Conte could even be wise to change the formation this weekend.

Kurt Zouma

The Frenchman was given a torrid time at Old Trafford, after filling in at the eleventh hour following an injury in the warm-up to Marcos Alonso.

It could mean that Zouma is back on the fringes for this weekend’s Wembley showdown as Conte looks to ensure that his defensive performers are up to any threat that Spurs might pose.

Chelsea fans, will you defeat Spurs today? Who would you rather play in the Final? Let us know in the comments below!!!
