The Blues are reeling from the five-match losing streak in the Premier League that cost former manager Liam Rosenior his job but they can kick-start their final month of action this season with a victory in the semi-final, and the return of a pair of key attackers could be just what interim boss McFarlane needs to get his side back on track.

Fulham are without key man Alexander Iwobi for this one after he limped out of last week's draw against Brentford.

Bukayo Saka is set to return to the matchday squad after missing five matches.
