Kick-off: 16:00 (UK time)
Chelsea have confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes for this afternoon's FA Cup tie against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
Blues boss Guus Hiddink, who led Chelsea to success in the same competition in 2009, names a strong side with Diego Costa in attack, supported by Eden Hazard, Willian and Pedro Rodriguez. Cesc Fabregas will look to boss the midfield along with John Obi Mikel, while Branislav Ivanovic captains the side and teams up with Gary Cahill in the heart of defence.
On the bench, Hiddink has Loic Remy if he needs to throw on another striker, while Oscar is another option for the Dutchman to call upon if needed.
Chelsea go into the tie with the FA Cup their most likely chance of a trophy this season, while it also offers a route back into Europe given their current Premier League placing of 12th.
