Nik Gill: Are Man City wearing high-vis shirts because they've never played with each other before?

Andrew Chesworth: Everyone moaning about the lack of British players are missing the fact that Tosin Adarabioyo is a born and bred Manc

Chelsea's turn to attack now as John Mikel Obi sprays a pass out wide for Cesar Azpilicueta to chase. It is a good chance to build down the right if he can keep it in, but he just can't quite do that.

Chelsea's fans already getting stuck into their Manchester City counterparts for the vast spaces in the away support section - but might be explained by the fact manager Manuel Pellegrini effectively told their fans not to bother if they did not want to see a shadow side.

And that is that is what they have got.

"Supreme confidence that from David Faupala, two nutmegs.

Man City have made a bright start here and a lot of the young lads look confident."

This game has that feel of a lower league side up against a Premier League opponent, with the City youngsters no doubt determined to show what they can do.

One of those youngsters, David Faupala, shows some neat skill to open up a bit of space on the right side of the box and stings Thibaut Courtois' hands with a well-struck effort.

Good start by City.

"It will be interesting to see how Eden Hazard does today, a lot of question marks about his performances this season, but Chelsea always look better with him on the field."

Big game for Eden Hazard. 

He surely cannot afford to be shown up by a load of youngsters getting their first experience of first team football. Manu Garcia is the man tasked with keeping an eye on him.

Manchester City, decked out in their 'ghost green' kit, get this Fa Cup tie under way.

The two teams are out on the pitch at Stamford Bridge. 

"Good game, good game," one of the Manchester City youngsters can be heard saying as handshakes are exchanged with the Chelsea players.

Time for the 'junior Blues' to show what they are capable of.

Former England captain on Match of the Day

"If Pellegrini wins another two or three trophies, it would have been an extremely successful time as Manchester City manager."

Brendan Rodgers
Former Liverpool manager on Match of the Day

"The short-termism now is incredible.

"Manuel Pellegrini has done a fantastic job. Manchester City were broken when he came in and he is a calming man. He allowed the players to play and worked them well.

"He was a highly thought of coach and if he can add another trophy when he leaves, he will have had a very successful period."

Jason Mohammad has the best seat in the house for this tie. Seven minutes until kick off.

"Eden Hazard has given me the impression he is playing to get away. The manager has everyone playing well and smiling, except him."

"You can see how calm Guus Hiddink is, he has the experience of being at international level and let the Chelsea players play. They have responded well."

So many mixed views about whether Manuel Pellegrini has made the right decision. No doubt about it, the youngsters that have come in will be desperate to show what they can do.

Terry Dunfield: Looking forward to watching some of City's young guns play today. Good luck to the debutants.

Sam Uddin: Man City are out of the FA Cup before it's started.

Adam Ward: That Man City team is disrespectful to the competition.

"Chelsea's season has been a disaster but they have their best chance in this competition to resurrect it.

"With City still going strong in a few competitions, it could still be a great season, but judging by the team he has put out, this is the least of Manuel Pellegrini's priorities."

Jonathan HQ: Absolutely disgusted with that Man City line-up! Aren't even putting up a fight. Shame on Manuel Pellegrini.

Stephen Chew: City's youngsters getting a game, not a British player to be seen, utterly depressing.

Nic Lewis: Manchester City team isn't about giving youth a chance. It is disregarding the FA Cup. 3/4 of these players will never play for City again.

Former England winger on Match of the Day

"The Man City players haven't performed, key players in key areas haven't lived up to former performances but they are still in for four trophies.

"It could all unravel quickly but it is a chance for some of the young boys to show what they can do.

"Manuel Pellegrini probably feels sorry for some of the players with the travelling they have to do and thinks they may get injured."
