seen pictures of Lukaku training, but does anybody have any idea if he will actually be match fit and in the squad Saturday, better yet in the starting 11?

Actually alright with the news that Mason is out as long as Werner starts ahead of Ziyech. I actually think Werner starting is very good for us. He injects that pace and he’s always good for an assist. Still think he’s likely to miss a golden chance but he might surprise us… and even if he doesn’t he will likely make up for it by winning a pen or assisting Lukaku… something mount could have been doing better lately

Here we go… still so early on in the season but you cant help but feel this is a massive game. I don’t actually think it’s the three points that mean the most on Saturday, it’s more the rewards of winning on our mentality and determination for the rest of the season. Winning this game, after our start to the season will cement the idea of being favourites for the title. Liverpool then play City the week after so things could be looking nice for us. Basically what I’m trying to say is… we’re gunna win the league!

Weirdly feel worse in the run up to this fixture than the one against Liverpool. Maybe just cos it’s Spurs or because yesterday’s game didn’t fill me with confidence. Don’t care what formation he picks, don’t care who scores. Just want the win. Beating Spurs also means I would settle for a draw against city the week after. After palace doing one on them the weekend, be laveeely to add to that.

I would like the prem title and FA Cup this season. There’s a reason why teams very rarely win back to back champions leagues. Expecting it in consecutive seasons is understandable but a greedy ask. For me having won it recently, I would excuse not winning it again for a few seasons. A prem title is always the goal and I’m sure Tuchel and the players want the same. And for reasons stated above, having fallen short in FA cup we need to set the record straight

3 points incoming. I think we will be too strong for them in all areas. I for once don’t feel anxious ahead of this game, should be comfortable. Would like to see how Werner and Lukaku get on playing together. As people have said post Liverpool game, Werner would have made those passes into Lukaku. On the topic of Werner, if you want to feel optimistic or depressed… watch his last season all goals highlights for RB Leipzig. I rewatched them over the weekend and if he can get back to that level we would win it all

Don’t really see how anyone can fault Lukaku for this game. Had he been played in properly he scores twice at least. Yes he stumbled when dribbling once or twice but so does everyone. Better decision making from our other players and he could have been the hero today. He was constantly making the runs and you could see he was annoyed at the ball not being played for him. Good point in the end and he will be back to terror Villa on the 11th!

If we are considering Liverpool as title contenders, which I think everyone can agree on. Getting a draw against them is just as much two points dropped for them, then it is for us. Arguably it’s more a must win game for them being at home. Whilst I want three points, a draw would not be a bad result. With United and City having both dropped already anything but a loss is good in my eyes. Same applies for when we play City, three points against Tottenham however is a must. I think Liverpool and City fans would also realistically take a draw

I don’t think we’re favourites just yet, certainly not for the league. I think that title is still firmly with City. Despite recent results I always go in to the big games with more fear than optimism. Maybe that’s just me as since Tuchel joined he hasn’t given me any reason to doubt. If we beat Liverpool, City and Spurs within our next few games then I think we can be called favourites. As far as champions league goes… anything can happen

Sat and watched the game in the Arsenal end. Whilst it was a bit awkward not being able to show my full excitement during the game. It was equally enjoyable listening to them moan and discuss how good we are, and how bad they were. Lukaku looked unreal, hard not to get very excited as Chelsea fan right now. If we’re unbeaten and top by the end of Sep I think we will be strong favourites for the league.

Couldn’t find any other posts related so asking here, I’m going behind enemy lines on Sunday. Managed to get two tickets in Arsenal end, should be interesting… I’ve never been away to Arsenal before, can anyone suggest the name of a good pub before the game?

Yeah hat-trick was/is wishful thinking but still a possibility. Couldn’t care if he didn’t score at all as long as we win to be honest. I think we need to start him though. I get that he hasn’t had much time etc etc but his job is still the same, get on the end of something and score. If he starts, he scores in my mind. games still a week out and I’m already going through the motions of nerves and optimism, and waffling

is a Lukaku hat-trick to much to ask for? Recent form against Arsenal has been poor, they always seem to use us as a trampoline to bounce back from humiliation only to then lose the following week. I'm praying it doesn't happen again this time. Three points is the only positive outcome from Sunday.

this has annoyed me no end. Why oh why do we sell so happily to our rivals?.As for Luiz at Arsenal... I can already tell you now, he is going to slap in a 30 yard screamer against us and even though I can preempt it already, I still wont be mentally prepped for it.

if you nervous and you know it and sh*t your pants, If your nervous and you know sh*t your pants, if your nervous and you know and you really wanna show it, if your nervous and you know it sh*t your pants. Safe to say its not even gone 12 o'clock yet and I'm a wreck. This game is huge. Only way I can describe this feeling is when you do a wrong one by your missus and she pulls you in for the chat, or asks who 'Stephanie' on your phone is.

Corrrrrr, wish I could do that. That's like being promised Angelina Jolie for the night, and Pat Butcher turning up instead. Would be massively disappointed if we couldn't go on and clinch the title from here. In my opinion would effect the players and board 10 times more than last seasons blip. Simply not an option. Already looking forward to getting boozey for the open top parade!

Going to coral after work, thinking 3-1 Chels and Kante FGS. (Don't actually think for a moment he will be FGS, but I like the idea of it, and the odds) The goal for West Ham inevitably coming off Carroll's lid.

I personally think he will stay, but if he does go in search of a guaranteed starting spot (which he deserves) I couldn't blame him. As long as he doesn't join Spurs... *shudders*

I'll be all for it, IF they leave the stadium name alone, and bring in some good Chinese food for half time. If that's the case, push the deal through. If not, long may I continue to stain my shirt with too much sauce from my £20 hot dog.

I'm usually pretty nervous about these games, BUT I can only see us winning this one at a canter as others have suggested. The big pitch will suit us perfectly. I can see Hazard running riot here, simply too much space for him to exploit and run in to. And if its not him, it will be Pedro. If Fabregas starts we will breeze this game, if Matic starts we will also win this game. Bottom line we will win this game. We wont keep a clean sheet though, I agree with others that if Carroll plays he will score. He's just a peter crouch who ate all his veg. Somethings you just cant stop, lanky giants winning headers is one of them.

What a transfer that would have been, Ronaldinho 10 printed on a Chelsea shirt. I would still be wearing my shirt now if that was the case. Absolute baller he was.

If anything, I think the problem lies in the fact that, we never have anyone in the bloody box. The amount of times hazard flashes a cross across the box and we have no body near the ball at all. Where is Super Frankly Lampard sliding in to the box to side foot home when you need him?

Perhaps there is still life in the old dog yet... We might as well see if we can bring back Mutu from Colombia and see if Kezman wants to return? Crikey... the list of pretty bad strikers I could have gone on to write just then is scary. Not as bad as Wet Spam, but not miles off either.

You just know Gylfi Siugurdson is going to score a beauty against us. Luckily enough, you also know that Costa is going to score an ugly scrappy goal, Pedro is going to slot one in on the break and Alonso is going to net via deflection. 3-1... I hope. Definitely got that feeling now of slowly creeping towards the title, many a nervy game to come. I dont expect us to blow any more teams away with amazing football, many a scrappy 1-0 and 2-1 to come our way I think. Which is of course what champions do. I remember when we were staring a 0-0 draw in the face against Everton at home when Willian turned up with a last minute volley to take the points home. Whilst I would rather we have this wrapped up by half time, after seeing Willians volleys in training (someone please share the video if they know what I'm waffling about) I would be quite happy for us to win via a corker like that. I'm rambling alot, mixture of nerves and excitement. ANTONIOOO ANTONIOOO
