The FA Cup looks to be Chelsea's best shot at a trophy this season, and so one would expect them to put forward a full strength team on Sunday when Portsmouth come to visit in the FA Cup competition.
Drogba and Kalou will miss this match, but other than that Chelsea will have plenty of talent to call on for this match. They should have no trouble putting this match to bed early against a Portsmouth side that have struggled to be competitive in the 2nd Division.
Prediction: 4-0 easy win for Chelsea.

Hopefully guys like Bertrand, Lukaku, McEachran, Chalobah, gets a start. With the first team playing like crap, this is a perfect opportunity to make a statement for some of the fringe/back-up players. Don't think this is televised anywhere, too bad.

The lack of a creative midfielder showed even against Portsmouth and without Ramires this midfield would really struggle.
Still a clean sheet and a win is good for us.

Disappointed that Lukaku and co didn't get minutes. You have to wonder, if they can't get on the pitch against a Championship side in the 3rd round when are they going to see some playing time?
