I'd play the same team as well, pace with enough experience to see this game off.

I feel we slowed down a bit, but it was expected after that amazing 13 win run. I don't think we are playing badly, i just think this is a "slower" period for us. We have a pretty decent run in, i only think the both Manchester teams will make it hard for us and probably Everton away. Only a complete meltdown would see us missing out on the title, as every fan in England apart from our fans wants. We lost three in 25, we would need to lose another four from the remaining 13 games to drop from first and if only the rest win all their games. I reckon we will win our 6 remaining home games, and if we manage to win half of our remaining away games it will be enough. Also United, Arsenal and Spurs all play each other in the final 4-5 games of the league. With the way the rest are playing we shouldn't be troubled, but you never know.

Really? I said sacking Ancelotti was a mistake

I prayed when we had Carlo to be the long term manager after his double, but Roman sacked him after one season without silverware. Hope he learned from his mistakes and gets Conte a chance to be the long term solution.

Obviously Hazard will get the most votes, but beside him Dave was outstanding and Kante as per usual. Apparently Dave won 100% of his aerial duels, not bad for a left / right back

Burnley is the third best team in the league at home with 9 wins, one draw and three defeats. Only us and Spurs have a better home record, won't be easy but overall i feel we have too much quality not to get a result. Also Spurs visit Anfield next week we could easily extend our lead at the top with a win.

This season is the Pedro from Barcelona, completely adapted and a new man under Conte, saying this he didn't have a poor debut season. He must start against Arsenal as he was far better than Willian even when he came on against Liverpool.

The deadline for transfers is done, and it is not official yet? Does the window in Russia close later or? Sky reported he passed his medical and nothing since.

Him and Luiz were top notch last, he is like a speedy little warrior battling it out from week to week. I was shocked we signed him after he had a chance to play in the Champions league, but our midfield was never good enough and he just made it so much better. The transfer fee now looks so small considering what 100 mill gets you

We are at a point when people can't say he is not on the top of his game? Is Hazard untouchable? He wasn't good last night, and has been average for some time. That doesn't mean any of the fans think he is a sh*t play. However it seem's that the fans only accept if people just praise him all the time and regard him as the best thing since sliced bread. Overall he is having a good season, just not lately i'd say from the City game. Still a key player and i am certain he will deliver the goods.

I'd start Fabregas and Pedro for this one, Willian was very poor against Liverpool and Mati? is suited more for defending. Again i am not confident as i wasn't against Liverpool but three points will do.

We dropped points and still extended our lead at the top as no one can follow. We could have perhaps end all doubts but Costa isn't a penalty taker and he proved it last night. He had a bad game, he can only repay us with a brace on saturday

Hero of the Bridge, fans forgot how good he was not that long ago when he was regarded the best right back in the league. Scored some crucial goals for us and won everything available in the game. The word legend it thrown around but he is a true Chelsea legend.

I felt really confident going into the Spurs game and they won by having two shots on goal. We shouldn't allow Liverpool too much space and even a draw wouldn't be the end of the world. COYB!

Think we will get a tricky draw this time around, thinking of United or y*ds away. Best case scenario a Bridge tie to give the youth a run out again.

Personally felt Pedro did very well at wing back against Peterborough, not just because of the goals. How would he perform against tougher opposition it is yet to see, but when we are losing he is well worth a go as he has speed and has an eye for the goal.

I am usually very confident this season, no matter the opposition but this game will be tricky. I just hope we score first as they will look to close the shop if they score first and hit us on the counters. Good thing is that Mahrez and Slimani are on International duty which is a plus for us. The boys fully rested and hopefully eager to go. COYB

Think he needs play time and also needs time to adapt to wing back, probably would be very good at RB but the transition needs time.

I've been looking into it and all the reviews from the Internet and friends are top notch. I will deffo give it a go, not sure will the missus be interested haha

Well after 11 months he was due to have a "shaky" game which in understandable. I felt he did ok and with more game time he will return his confidence and will be the same player he was before the injury. I doubt Conte will use him much in the league if everyone is fit but the cups will probably be his 90 minutes this season.

It would be unfair to get Ake straight into the team as Alonso did very well. Ake is a versatile defender so he can step in for the center backs and probably cover the wing back position. Conte returned him for a reason and i hope he has him in his plans.

He was impressive yesterday, probably the best out of the youth set up that started. He needs to do this on a regular basis and Conte won't ignore it. Good game by Chalobah too.

We should start the bench players. Begovi? Zouma - JT (if fit) - Cahill Aina - Chalobah - Fabregas - ? Willian - Michy - ? I struggle to see what we could do for the Alonso position, someone stated Kenedy i am not sure if he is registered to play, or Musonda.

After 13 wins we had to lose at some point, so it was Spurs oh well. We are still 5 points clear and have Leicester and Hull next before Anfield. By that point our lead could be even bigger and the boys will have a deserved rest ahead of the Fa Cup.

Yep he was Mr. Consistent, but Cesar wasn't too shabby either
