To some Chelsea fans and probably the management of Chelsea, Sterling should be a nailed starter. But at City Sterling cannot start.

You can see the mentality of these Chelsea fans and the management. So many of these people don't know how to have success in football. 

Do many of the fans even want Chelsea to have success?

Do you think any of our other options in attack would start for City...?

 
Villa rested several players for their trip to Poland tonight.

Badiashile has suffered a relapse in his recovery, not back for this one.

Caicedo still not returned to training.

 
Villa lost to Warsaw. Warsaw played well and took their chances. Two of their goals came from Digne losing his winger. I expect this to provide opportunities for Sterling. Much of villas attack came through Leon Bailey. I see no reason not to play Chilwell at left back, drop Silva and let colwill start the attacks. Disasi is not much of a pass master.

I should not be surprised but somehow I am that two players returning from injury and international games are unavailable again.  Hopefully minor with Badiashile, but what on earth is going on with Caicedo.  

 
Ah Friday, almost another weekend is upon us for the Chels to ruin! 😆

Not sure what the injury situation is regarding a few but id go with;

Sanchez

Gusto - Disasi - Colwill - Chilwell

Enzo - Caicedo

Sterling - Palmer - Mudryk

Jackson

I think Silva slows us down too much playing out at the moment, and moving Villa before they get set is going to be vital. Caicedo probably not fit, throw Ugo in if he's not. 

Palmer and Jackson goals, Mudryk masterclass. 3-2 villa.

 
Villa's form: L, W, W, L, W ... 

Chelsea's form: D, L, W, L, D ...

I'm am praying to the gods that we find some form!

 
Expect to see Broja on Sunday some time. Could be a big turning point in our season.

Yeah Pochettino indicated he may get a bench spot. Given our lack of options makes sense he would be there instead of say Sutter.

Manager was also right the Broja has been out a long time and will need lots of time to get his sharpness back.

Might be a hard ask giving him 15 minutes while we chase an equalizer.

He’s probably the most natural finisher we have, be great if he can lift the attack and install confidence in others, sure it will take weeks to get back into it and no guarantees he will make the mark, but it’s some morsel of comfort in these truly depressing times.

Aye I like how Broja leads the line. Physical, had pace before the injury, willing to do the dirty work and a handful.

Madueke is a better creative player and will maybe be a better goalscorer than Sterling. You can easily draw comparison between Mahrez and Madueke. They are probably similar.

And Mahrez starts ahead of Sterling at City, so why is Madueke not starting ahead of Sterling at Chelsea?

I don't know about the score and given Caicedo is pretty doubtful I'd have Lesley in there but otherwise I think it's obvious that's the team that should start. Pretty much equally obvious its not the team that will start.

 
We should play a low block .

Apparently it's impossible to score against and our speedy attack can score loads on the break.

Deffo play it against Brighton and thrash em.

What could go wrong ?

Weeks is imo too optimistic. Half a season is probably the best scenario
