Their recent results mean nothing- they will give absolutely 100% to win this game on Tuesday. They are absolute dogsh*te, but they're game raisers and somehow they always seem to pull off a decent result against the top sides.
Under Conte we have seen our defence constantly trying to play the ball out from the back, therefore I think it's likely Sturridge will be dropped and Firminio will play up top because of how relentless he is in his pressing. Sturridge simply doesn't give them that. However, they have very little creativity in midfield with a midfield three of Wijnaldum, Can and Henderson likely to start. They'll have a great deal of useless possession in midfield, but barring defensive errors from Chelsea, they shouldn't create too much.
We all know about their defence and it hasn't fared any better since Klopp arrived. Matip has been hailed as the best of the defenders but we saw on two occasions how Redmond went past him very easily in the semi final. If Hazard performs, Matip and Alexander Arnold (not sure if Clyne is back) could find him very difficult to handle.
The way I see it is, if we turn up, we win- simple. The only thing that stops us from winning this game is our own stupid mistakes or not taking our chances. We have to be clinical because even though they are playing sh*t, attacking players such as Firmino, Lallana etc can always provide quality moments and the crowd will be right behind them.
