Here is how we think Chelsea will line up against Watford in the FA Cup:

GK) Petr Cech

With Thibaut Courtois out with a possible broken finger, Cech is sure to start in goal.

RB) Nathan Ake

Jose Mourinho may give youth a chance in the FA Cup, giving Branislav Ivanovic and Cesar Azpilicueta a rest.

CB) Kurt Zouma

The youngster has impressed in the few chances he has been given, and John Terry will more than likely be given a break.

CB) Gary Cahill

Chelsea will need some experience in their back line, Cahill should provide that.

LB) Filipe Luis

The £20m signing is finally starting to get some game time under Mourinho, and should start on the left.

DM) Ramires

Nemanja Matic could also do with a rest, meaning Ramires could get a start.

DM) Jon Obi Mikel

Mourinho is likely to deploy two defensive midfielders, in order to support the inexperienced back four.

CAM) Oscar

The Brazilian has seen plenty of rotation this season, so should be fresh for the FA Cup clash.

RAM) Andre Schurrle

The pacey winger has largely been used as a substitute, but should get a start against Watford.

LAM) Mohamed Salah

The former FC Basel star looks to be on his way out of the club this January, but may still get a game.

ST) Loic Remy

With Remy finding himself down the pecking order in the Premier League, he will be glad of a start in the FA Cup.
