Good to see Batshuayi and Ake starting today. Hazard and Costa on bench. For Hazard, a good technical change. For Costa, he deserved it

Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea!!!

I dnt know wat Conte is trying to do wit dis line up oo bt I pray it works out

You said it all. Hazard will surely come in by second half with more energy.As for Costa, he needs to start from the bench as he's becoming more of liability to the team than assets. He lacks discipline.

It is an FA Cup semi Final at Wembley. Conte should have played one or both Hazard and Costa against Spurs. The Spurs team look stronger. You Go with a full squad in this kind of match. let us wait and see.

yeah! Most people didn't notice Costa was contributing little to the team until recently when it became very obvious as we haven't been getting the results we wanted.

Every team does regular shake-ups when their strikers are not firing. Bring on someone else to challenge them but Conte hasn't done that at all so Costa has been lackadaisical.

Today we will show Tottenham why they will never be one of the big four.

Would have loved to see Ake start as a wing back rather than centre back. I just hope Luiz won't oppress the young boy and won't push him inot making errors.

E go hot 2day but I see chelsea winning 2-0... Mak I pitch my tent here...
No hazard No Costa

today will be though ..Chelsea... I pray for my club ..good success along the way

In the quest for scoring a goal, spurs will counyer attack and score about 3 goals

My prediction, Chelsea 1 Spurs 3.

Same here, Ake contribute more going forward, but Alonso is there. Trust me David Luiz won't try that nonsense today....... I just dey fear that Wanyama & Dembele.

Guy borrow sense... Must u display ur stupidity here.. With the same blood gushing out from there u were made possible... Ewu

I doubt chelsea winning today

The top two teams in the EPL meet to decide who goes to the Emirates FA Cup finals. It has been one win apiece for Conte and Pochetinno.

It is likely to be a very tough game but I see Chelsea triumph!

The best way to defend is to attack... What's the essence of having two defensive midfielder without a creative one between em.. We need a killer pass midfielder.. That's where fabs comes in... Even with matic kante do over work.. So matic is of no use

Zedoo:
Spurs 3-1 chelsea

Seconded

Team News
Chelsea defender Gary Cahill is very doubtful after being treated for gastroenteritis but Thibaut Courtois has overcome the ankle problem that ruled him out at Man Utd last week.
Marcos Alonso missed that defeat with a stomach bug but is likely to return.
Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris should play in his first FA Cup tie since 2014 because Michel Vorm, who was earmarked to start, is out with a knee injury.
Danny Rose is back in training after a knee injury but will not be involved.

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
Steve Wilson: "Without doubt these are the best and most consistent teams this season. When the draw brought them together it looked like Spurs' irresistible force against Chelsea's immovable object - but two defeats in April may have undermined Chelsea's air of unshakeable strength.
"Do Chelsea have the mentality to recover from being so enfeebled by Jose Mourinho's tactical masterclass at Old Trafford? If not, has Antonio Conte's 3-4-3 blueprint for success been unpicked?
"Did Spurs' win over Chelsea in January finally put to bed the hoodoo that had seen them fail time and again against the Blues? Or has winning at Wembley become a problem?
"Whichever team leaves the stadium with positive answers will not only have booked a place in the FA Cup final, they just may have stolen a psychological edge in the increasingly exciting race to be champions - and, perhaps, double winners."

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte:
"Tottenham now is a really great power in English football.
"There is a moment you have to finish considering yourself an underdog. I think this is the right moment."
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "I think if there is one favourite it's Chelsea because they are top of the table, because of the experienced players and the manager that they have.
"We are talking about one of the best teams in Europe.
"But we are in a good moment, too, and we are hungry to challenge this type of team."
