Three Peterborough dangermen who could shock Chelsea

In this period, I don’t like to talk about players of the other teams. “We respect the referee’s decision, but we will probably make an appeal on John’s behalf”.

When you’ve as many miles on the clock as John Terry, a pacey striker running at you in a one on one situation isn’t exactly ideal.

The 23-year-old has nonetheless started all of his club’s cup games this season, and as his manager revealed, will start against Peterborough in the FA Cup on Sunday.

CHELSEA captain John Terry gets straight red card in his first game since late October for taking down Boro striker Lee Angol in the 66th minute.

McCann’s side make the tip to South West looking to end the Blues’ 19-game unbeaten run in the Third Round but he insists it will be a hard game for his side. McGee could only parry a Chalobah drive as far as Pedro, who paused, brought the ball back on his right foot and curled in.

But Michy Batshuayi made no mistake as he grabbed Chelsea’s second with a low drive on the stroke of half time.

The Posh then reduced the deficit in the 70th minute when an un-marked Tom Nichols turned home a cross from the right flank. We could’ve come here and defended deeper and tried to frustrate them. Despite making Chelsea’s bench at the age of 15, the midfielder waited until he was 21 to make his debut. Willian played a good pass out to Branislav Ivanovic and the Serb’s cross was cushioned by Ruben Loftus-Cheek for the Belgian to pick his spot. For this reason we knew he needed more time.

“It is not a result we wished for, but it is not frustrating – that’s football”.

Speaking regarding Terry’s long-term future, the Italian added: “Now we are in January”.

The Blues will be looking to bounce back after a shock defeat at White Hart Lane against cross town rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Antonio Conte’s team will look to rest some of its regualar starters in the match and will be counting on his fringe players to do the necessary job.
