8 points behind Spuds now with this game in hand, win it and its 5 pts with 4 games left. a long shot but one never knows, unfortunately Burnley are 

very good at home and so far this season CFC are poor on the road, still look at last Saturday.........

And Spurs have got fixtures where you expect them to win all of them. Never say never though but like you said this will be extremely hard game anyway and will be interesting to see how many changes Conte makes for this.

 
It will be interesting to see which Conte pushes for .. an attempt at top 4 or a definite final position and a chance for a trophy.. it wouldn't surprise me if we saw Kante, Azpi, Hazard (Willian) rested for the FA Cup...

 
                          Courtois
            Azpi - Christensen - Cahill
Zappacosta - Kante - Drinkwater - Emerson
              Willian - Giroud - Hazard

Subs: Caballero, Rudiger, Bakayoko, Fabregas, Barkley, Pedro, Morata

 
Burnley were the team that started our woes at the start of the season. We went 3-0 down were reduced to 9 men and we nearly came back at them 3-2. This will be tough as they are chasing Arsenal for the Europa space. Giroud must start and I'd play Drinkwater in midfield with Kante. This will be a physical match. Can't watch the match as I've an appointment I can't get out of. That may bring us luck :laugh2: We need all 3 points as Spurs drew last night. Not sure we will do it but here's hoping. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Spurs last 4 games is. 

Watford h

West Brom A

Newcastle h

Leicester h

No f**king way they drop 5 points in those matches, and that's even presuming we win all our games which is no guarantee considering we play this game and Liverpool to come. 

Nah I've given up on the league this season, I just desperately want to see us win that FA Cup and salvage something from a piss poor season. 

 
I expect United fans were saying "no f**king way we'll drop 3 points to West Brom" this time last week.

And Leicester owe us for their league win.

Keep the faith, brother.

 
Is Alonso banned for this? Honestly think it's time Emerson gets a chance anyway but I'm setting myself up for disappointment because the way this club works is to through Moses/Zappacosta in at LWB instead when we have a perfectly available player whose been waiting on the bench since January

 
Since Mathematically we are still in a shout for the 4th spot, expect Conte to play his best 11 in a match he's not that keen into 24 hours ago. In any case, I don't expect us to win this game. Burnley is the toughest team outside the 6, by current form probably better than us and Arsenal. We got away with it against Southhamtpon, don't think Burnely will give us that luxury if we have a slow start again.

It all depends on how our lads are mentally prepared. If everyone was really ready to fight for a win we should win this. Sadly I don't think that is the case.
 
don't care who the team is but i doubt they will be up for it.

i will still watch it even though its a 1.30AM kick off here in Thailand

 
Hopefully we will get going before the 70th minute.Giroud to start and 2-1 Chelsea.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

 
I'd go:

Courtois

Rudiger
Christensen
Azpilicueta

Emerson
Drinkwater
Kante
Moses

Hazard
Morata
Willian

 
We have failed to beat this lot 3 times out of the last 4 games, and they tend to get all of the big decision's in their favour when they face us. Ashley Barnes not getting sent off for nearly causing 3 serious injuries to our players, Cahill and Fabregas being sent off at the start of the season, i think it's time for a little payback.

 
Sucks I'm going to miss the first half, got a calculus exam today. I'll be turning it on my phone as soon as I get out of class.

 
Burnley will absolutely paste us. They are becoming our bogey team, much like Newcastle used to be.
