A fringe eleven tonight from sarri, is this a last chance to impress and stay in the squad or simply protecting the first team for the weekend ? Think it could be one of any numbers last run out for us this year

I can only see Willian as a potential first team player out of this lot. There is some argument for Christensen, but he is currently behind Luiz in the pecking order:
Bulka - 3rd goalkeeper
Zappacosta - sub for Azpi
Christensen - sub for Luiz
Ampadu - sub for Rudiger
Emerson - sub for Alonso
Loftus-Cheek - could he possibly push for a starting place?
Bakayoko - probably loan/sale
Drinkwater - sub for Jorginho or Kante if he's lucky
Moses - behind Hazard, CHO, Pedro and Willian. Unlikely to play
Abraham - would probably only stay if we loan Batshuayi
Willian - first team option. Getting back to fitness.

Watched most of the game, no one impressed but that's not a surprise because most of the players that started are terrible.

Zappacosta looks more comfortable at rb than Azpi, because he's quicker.
Christensen and Ampadu were ok.
Emerson isn't great but rather he gets a run of games instead of Alonso.
Bakayoko & Drinkwater need to be shown the door ASAP.
RLC looked good in patches.
Moses and Abraham should also leave.
Willian was ok.

Thought Emerson played quite well, also hope he gets given a run of games

The standout surely was Ampadu. Biggest disappointment for me was Tammy - so static and lacking in any kind of menace.
