I must say he would certainly be a big plus

Been thinking about how I'd set up for this one. Think I'd be tempted to go with something a bit different, though not sure Carrick would be this drastic. With the players available, I think a 532 would work best.

Tickets For Chelsea Home Leg Sold Out - Middlesbrough FC.urlhttps://www.mfc.co.uk/news/2024/january/09/tickets-for-chelsea-home-leg-sold-out/

 

Sold out now. Can't wait.

 

 

How many tickets were allocated to Chelsea?

I think he'll go for as similar a team as he can from the Villa game and recreate the same shape. I could be wrong but I imagine most of Chelsea's threat is through the middle and if we can pack the congest that enough, maybe with Fry and Clarke both in the backline also, we give ourselves a chance of coming through it. Just depends how he looks to recreate that with us missing both of Coburn's supporting players from Saturday.

Feeling a bizarre sense of optimism about this one. I say bizarre because I don’t think we’ll necessarily win, just think we’ll put up a good fight, won’t get totally smashed and might even, might possibly, could conceivably get something from it…

Hoping for a good game and an upset, but I feel Chelsea will be too strong for us.

0-2 (I hope i'm wrong)

Gotta dream because that's what it's all about but don't think there's any way I could predict anything but a Chelsea win, even in their current very inconsistent state. Really hope I'm wrong and that we are at the very least still in the tie after tonight. Regardless of the fortunate draws, getting to a cup final would be an incredible achievement and a wonderful chance to celebrate our club at Wembley again.
