August 28, 201510 yr Is Oscar fit for this game officialy? Think Mourinho said he has a full squad to select from expect the suspended Terry.
August 28, 201510 yr Physio room has them both down to return this weekend plus Moses was filming an Adidas commercial on Thursday...
August 28, 201510 yr Eva? She's fit and available but no confirmation on if José will select her for the squad.
August 28, 201510 yr Noone asked about squad fitness, no comments on transfers and the refs are at is again basically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7fTqEXujoc
August 28, 201510 yr Would really love Oscar to be back in the line-up tomorrow but I doubt he'll be in the squad, which is disappointing. Not to criticise Willian too strongly (except his final ball), but a home game against organised opposition like this is made for Oscar to pull strings from the #10 spot. The rest of the team continues to pick itself, or at least it does given José's tried and tested methods. Baba would be an interesting surprise but I'm betting we won't see a start from him until Walsall. Courtois, Bran, Zouma, Cahill, Azpi, Matic, Fab, Pedro, Willian, Hazard, Costa. 3-1 win. And if we could finish the game without a red card, that would also be super nice. ¬_¬
August 28, 201510 yr Here's a very ambitious prediction as I'm in a positive mood, 3-1 with goals from Costa, Pedro and the late sub...Falcao. Chelsea 3-1 @ 11/1 Stake: £3.00 Estimated Returns : £36.00 And Last Goal Scorecast Radamel Falcao / Chelsea 3-1 @ 55/1 Stake: £2.00 Estimated Returns : £112.00 And First goal scorecast Diego Costa / Chelsea 3-1 @ 50/1 Stake: £1.00 Estimated Returns : £51.00 And Anytime scorecast Pedro / Chelsea 3-1 @ 20/1 Stake: £2.00 Estimated Returns : £42.00 This is just a back up of my bpl prediction, any returns half gos to the site as usual. Lets get those pretenders looking over their shoulders with a decent performance. Edited August 28, 201510 yr by Chippy
August 29, 201510 yr So will we be able to finish this game with 11 on the pitch this time? Who is the ref?
August 29, 201510 yr I would really like to see Baba play in this match because clearly Ivanovic isn't doing his job properly (although I know this won't ever happen) GK: Courtois LB: Rahman CB: Zouma CB: Cahill RB: Azpilicueta DM: Oscar (If Fit) / Fabregas DM: Matic LW: Hazard CAM: Fabregas / Willian RW: Pedro ST: Costa

Ramires could either be great closing down their CMs and running them off the park or he could be completely anonymous for 65 minutes as they pass around him.Take it back, just found out Ramires is injured. This is as good an reason as any to play RLC. Edited August 29, 201510 yr by TheChelseaBlues
August 29, 201510 yr SHOULD be a routine win for us today... I'm sure there will be plenty of discussion after the game, just hope we get 3 points in anyway we can
August 29, 201510 yr So will we be able to finish this game with 11 on the pitch this time? Who is the ref? Craig Pawson. He's refereed only one of our games since he became a Premier League ref in 2013. That was at Selhurst Park last season...the one where both Azpi and a Palace player got sent off. Not a great omen, is it? >_>
August 29, 201510 yr ------------Courtois-------- Dave--Cahill--Zouma--Baba ------Matic---RLC-------- -Pedro--Oscar--Hazard- ----------Costa----------
August 29, 201510 yr Despite being at home, I expect Palace to get a result today. A 2-2 draw or even an upset win by the odd goal will not surprise me. The Defense and the pivot midfield is a big mess and with the suspension of John Terry, no competition for Matic and Fabtegas and the expected inclusion of Ivanovic despite being the worst player in the team, it will be a shock if Palace does not score.
August 29, 201510 yr Apparently Ramires and Oscar have withdrawn from the Brazil squad due to injury so I would assume that they wont feature today, not found anything to confirm this 100% anyone know? Rhaman has been included in the squad today so could make his debut.
August 29, 201510 yr Don't forget that there could well be a minute's silence prior to the match due to the Shoreham Air disaster.
August 29, 201510 yr I expect Zouma to step up and have good game, talented player, will be solid at the back today (hopefully).
