Some finish...lets do Frankfurt on Thursday and take it from there. 3rd place tonight. Get in.

To everyone at the game, spare a thought for the rest of us watching on cnbc...is that tony gale commentating?what a bitter c**t, he's raging we're winning

Come on!!!!!

Yeeeeessss

Win this and we are favourites to finish 3rd behind 2 very good teams (as much as I hate to say it) and lift the Europa League. That would be quite a good season...just a pity we lost on pens in the League Cup Final and didn't turn up for Utd in the FA Cup when they were going through their good spell.

hold on cartoon army, an average season could turn into a really good one for us...compared to our rivals

Carragher must have been having flashbacks to Zola then

We don't have a good enough team to fight for the title. That's football...just look at Arsenal and United as you say. We're going through a bad time and we still have a chance of top 4 and winning the Europa League. Whatever happens between now and the end of the season is nothing compared to the direction we could go in the next couple of years if we get things wrong. Lets just hope we hang in there and make the right decisions at the top.

Thought we managed that well for a tough away game. Hazard should be fresh for the weekend and Loftus Cheek will definately start again. Some things are still clearly not right but favourites for top 4 and now great position for another Europa League final. I'll take that.

Loftus Cheek coming of age tonight hopefully, he's been excellent on the ball, just 1 or 2 lapses in concentration in 1st half. Lets see this out, 1-1 will do.

Get in. That stadium is rocking, tough place to play. 1-1 is good and probably fair reflection of 1st half. Jovacic header had to be so precise from the cross to the finish to score. Loftus Cheek's performance kind of summed up that half.

I agree. We weren't great again today but we have a chance to get top 4 and win the EL. Might save the autopsy until next month...Come on Chelsea

Ole's at the wheel...how does it feel...so good when Alonso equalised...and Pogba still wont be criticised...and you won f*&k all

Well said Hazard. If you can come out and say playing a lot of games doesn't mean anything its how you try...that means something. Well done Eden, well done boy.

Just saw utd's fixtures, this game is huge...come on Chelsea

You're right, but win today and we won't even have to worry about that. Didn't expect us to be in this position as much as I hoped.

That helps with goal diff...well done leicester

What a mad season. We could almost guarantee top 4 with a win today and still have 2 games left. Shows how bad the others have been, they're worse than us for having no players who will fight. Plus we're favourites to win the Europa League. Its not all bad.

There should be absolutely no need for any motivational team talk (never should be), just do your job...1st and 2nd half. Come on Chelsea.

Great from us...Come on Chelsea ...they/media looking for an excuse

ok pedro mostly...but willian did join in

Credit to both of them last night. Standing ovation for Adoi when he came off...started by Pedro and joined in by Willian. They get a bit of stick but that was class, what we need around the club.

Loftus Cheek was excellent. Hazard unplayable.

Looked even better on the ball this week. Worrying how bad we are when we turn it over. Still, 3rd place and possible Europa League.

Unbelievable. What a touch.
