And here we go.
The top two teams in the Premier League, playing for a spot in the FA Cup final against the winner of Manchester City and Arsenal (played tomorrow).
Pre-match talk has been all about who's the biggest underdog, with rumors flying left and right about major changes for both teams. Let's see if those were correct.

As expected, Nathan Aké deputizes for injured captain Gary Cahill, with the armband passing to Dave. Meanwhile up front, Costa has been dropped/rested and Hazard has been rested/dropped.
Spurs make a couple changes to their defence as well, but start all the danger-men up front.
COME ON, CHELSEA!
