Sutton: Giroud has earned his starting spot at Chelsea
The former Blues frontman has backed the club's newest signing to start in the upcoming cup final after a flurry of positive displays
Chris Sutton believes that Olivier Giroud has earned his starting spot in the upcoming FA Cup semi-final ahead of Alvaro Morata, but he also thinks that the Spain international will come good.
Giroud's two goals at the weekend sparked a comeback win against Southampton as they turned a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 win. Morata was subbed off early for the second match in a row against Burnley, after starting in a front two with Giroud and apologised after venting his frustration on the bench.
Morata got over his 13 game goal drought with two goals in two games recently, but Sutton thinks that Giroud's timely performances could see him start as the main striker for the remainder of the season.
