Cech confident of holding starting role

PETR CECH said he is not expecting to be dropped for Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final and claimed he would bounce back against Arsenal at Wembley.

The Czech Republic stopper had a nightmare in Wednesday’s thrilling 4-4 draw with Liverpool, and was directly responsible for Fabio Aurelio’s opener.

He said: “I would be disappointed to be left out against Arsenal. This is a question for the manager, but one bad goal can’t change what you have been doing all season. You have to show your confidence in training and games.
