Temporary coach of London's Chelsea, Guus Hiddink, is ready to give opportunities to young club footballers, but this is likely to happen in the Premier League rather than the FA Cup, which the "aristocrats" can still fight for.
For the team led by Olando, the chances of finishing in the top four of the English championship are almost non-existent, as Chelsea lags behind Manchester City by 14 points.
Therefore, today's match against the "citizens" in the cup tournament will be more important than the league matches.
"Whether we will let even one young player play in the FA Cup will depend on the situation, but if necessary, I certainly won't hesitate," said Hiddink.
"There are still matches in the Premier League where there will be more opportunities. I can't guarantee anything, but chances may arise in the near future."
"Sometimes you just have to give up your principles, but they will definitely get their chances."
The FA Cup clash between Chelsea and Man City will start at 6 pm Lithuanian time.
