I've been thinking about these starting fixtures for a while now and I know the league is a marathon not a sprint but if we get poor results in these opening games then I think it will be extremely difficult to correct over the remaining fixtures. I'm really concerned with how threadbare our squad is looking at the moment and that is without all the cup games thrown in during the early part of the season. God, I hope we figure this out sooner rather than later.

 
Moses is cleared to play in this game as FA have confirmed that the game is a friendly...which means Kosceilny is also free to play even though he was sent off in the last game of season...of course that does mean that Moses will be banned for our season opener against Burnley...

Is Baka fit now then? Heard nothing about him being back in training..

                Tibo

     Rudigar Luiz  Azpi

Dave  Kante  Fabregas Alonso

       Pedro        Willian

            Batshuyai 

Think we will see this if Pedro is ok.

 
Hi guys first time poster, I think it is important for us to win this game. Firstly to silence the media's negative comments on our transfer window even though in my opinion we haven't done too bad and secondly to get some revenge from may. I know it's a friendly but hey all the other teams count it as a major honour these days! My team would be Tibo, Alonso, Cahill, Luiz, Rudiger, Dave, cesc, kante, Willian, Pedro, michy. 

Looking forward to the game and 3rd trip to Wembley this year! 

 
It's the tragic Gooners.  No matter that it's a friendly, we need a win. A morale booster. Let's hope for the best ::ChELSeAFaN::

 
Last time we lost to this Lot in the charity shield, We had the worst title defence ever and lost Jose. Hope we win and build momentum. The season starts NOW

no game against this lot is ever a friendly, lose this and the season starts as badly as it ended, plus them gooners will start getting ideas of grandeur

 
Tibo

Cahill Luiz Rudiger/Christensen

Moses Kante Cesc Alonso

Willian Morata/Bats Boga

We'll win 2-1 to get the ball rolling for the season ahead

 
My bad meant Cahill in there rather than Dave twice although that would be nice 2 daves lol.

Yes! Conte has mastered cloning. Azpilicueta starts at LB and his evil twin at RWB. Brilliant!

If it aint broke dont fix it. One thing i worry about is our new siginings not having premier league experience. We were lucky that Alonso and Luiz had previous premiership experience and of course Kante had it the previous year with leicester. Our only player with no prem experience (Batshuayi) had a tough time adapting. Even pedro was shyte his first year. You can see a difference with Jose getting Matic and Lukaku, they both know what the league is about. But hey we bought a striker for 50M with lots of prem goals and experience (Torres) and was sh*t for us except ofcourse that faithful nght, so what do i know 

 
Conte has said that Morata is not yet at the fitness levels needed for the way the Chelsea team plays, so I guess it'll be Bats leading the line with Morata and Bakayoko on the bench? Remember there can be up to 6 substitutions made in this game per side...so I expect Rudiger, Morata and Bakayoko to come on at some point...it's possible that Pedro won't be risked at all even with his Zoro masks...
