Grayson bans talk of Chelsea

The Blackpool manager Simon Grayson will fine any player who mentions Chelsea as his team prepare to meet Norwich City for the right to face the League champions in the FA Cup fifth round.

Both sides go into their fourth-round replay at Carrow Road refreshed after their League fixtures were postponed at the weekend because of the weather, though neither manager will be happy with the fixture chaos that awaits.

For Norwich, their Championship game at Luton on Saturday was already the second match they have seen called off in 2007, and Blackpool's League One trip to Rotherham was their second postponement after the cancellation of last week's midweek game at Oldham.

It would be understandable if either manager said that he could do without tonight's game but there is no such talk, with a trip to Chelsea the reward for the winners. "There's no bigger incentive," Grayson said.

Grayson is fining any player who mentions Didier Drogba, John Terry and company £200. "We're banning the talk of Chelsea, because we're not playing them, we're playing Norwich," the manager said. "If, at 10.30pm, we've beaten Norwich, then we can talk about Chelsea."

Grayson will be unable to call on his midfielder Simon Gillett, who is ineligible after arriving on loan from Southampton. But the side will be boosted by the return from suspension of Keith Southern, and Kaspars Gorkss is fit to play in defence.

Norwich will be without the ineligible pair Simon Lappin and Mark Fotheringham. Adam Drury will return to replace Lappin, and Jason Shackell could play after recovering from an ankle injury.
