Thomas Tuchel will taste his first FA Cup when he leads his side from Chelsea to Yorkshire to face Barnsley in the fourth round on Thursday.

Frank Lampard's last appearance as Chelsea boss was to secure a place in this round with a 3-1 win over Luton Town,and Tuchel is expected to continue his unbeaten start with a win against the team earlier in the season scoring six goals. ..

Kepa Arrizabalaga (GK)Thomas doesn't really pay attention to Kepa.The Spaniard has a fresh start he so desperately needs and is expecting a solid form.

Kurt Zouma (CB) - To play a minute under the new boss, it's time for Zouma to get a chance to get back into the starting line-up. Cesar Azpilicueta had to take every opportunity to rest.

Andreas Christensen (CB) - Thiago Silva is stil injured,there aren't many chances for Tuchel Christensen to be outstanding since coming out of the cold and fully deserving of his place.

Antonio Rüdiger (CB) - Rüdiger combined a devastating own goal with a superb defensive display against Sheffield United and will likely retain his place in the team

Callum Hudson-Odoi (RM) - Barnsley looks set to let Chelsea down, so Hudson-Odoi's energy and creativity can be key to achieving any result.

Billy Gilmore (CM) - Gilmore,who grew up on the bench for the Sheffield United clash,will struggle to prove he deserves more minutes with the new boss.

N'Golo Kante (CM) - Having made room for Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic in the background so far,Kante hopes to show that he has the transforming ability to do so in the middle of Tuchel.

Marcos Alonso (LM) - Alonso has been spinning up with Ben Chillwell since Tuhel arrived so it's hard to predict who will start here.The last one started against Sheffield United, so Alonso could come back for this one.

Kai Havertz (AM) - After missing the last time in one move,this could be a great opportunity to bring back Havertz,who scored a hat-trick against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup.

Hakim Ziyech (AM) - Ziyech did not participate in Tuchel in the 0-0 draw against Wolves. So this is a great opportunity to give Moroccans a stage to boast about.

Tammy Abraham (ST) - It's hard to say this as early as possible, but Abraham doesn't seem to rely on Tuchel's mercy.He only made one start (and was withdrawn in the first half) so it will be a great opportunity for him to prove himself.
