1-1 or 0-0 it's going to be a pretty boring, cagey game.

 

This is me being optimistic. I wouldn't play this team by the way but this is what we'll get.

I will be really disappointed if i see this line up, if he fields this line up and we get thumped, which we will, then i think that whatever faith a lot of fans have in him will take a big hit. At least if he tries something new and it fails we can see he is trying to rectify the situation, but if he changes nothing it almost has the feeling that we are being set up for failure.

Smash them.

I have some mixed feeling ahead of this one though Wednesday's results have renewed my confidence.

 

I'll say 2-0 Chelsea.

 

KTBFFH!!!

I'd gladly take a 1 nil offside 96th minute goal. The 6 nil would be nice but don't see it happening.

whole heartedly agree

the guardians match preview had this as the lineup - almost certain to be the case IMO.

walcott will have a f**kin field day

4-0

Isn't virtually every Guardian Sports Columnist a gooner?

 

If we lose I'm buying a little black book and putting Moh's name in it.

I think you lot will win 2-0. We are struggling to score goals, but we create a lot of chances. So either Walcott, Ozil and Ramsey turn up or we lose :p

 

Our most likely line up

 

               Cech

Bellerin-Gabriel-Kos-Monreal

      Coquelin-Cazorla

Ramsey-Ozil-Alexis

            Walcott

gameday, cant be any more optimistic

the title race may be over for us but every win over the the spuds and especially over arse is a title on it's own for me

 

2-0

up the chels!

I don't want to see Jose revert back to his 11 favs, once again ... they hardly deserve it ...

This would show poor management, in my opinion ...

Show confidence in a winning team ... full stop.

And give the complacent, under performing lot something more to think about ... !

Anal may score, but we'll score more. Come on you Blues.

I have a feeling cesc and diego are gona step up today big time, hopefully eden aswel, come on!!!

Nothing to get our season back on track like a win over Arsenal.

Come on you Blues!

This match will rest on how many times Coquelin is allowed to kick us before he' s booked. If its nice and early we can get at their back four.

Can't wait to beat these scumbags and send a warning to the league that we just had a blip

COME ON CHELS! We have to win this.

If that happens, I will really start to worry about Abramovich's response.

But we're going to win with a refreshingly young, eager line-up! Right?

Come on you blues. Shame I cant watch the game. Sitting at the airport now on my way to Hong Kong for Work. Gutted.

Do us proud boys.

If that happens, I will really start to worry about Abramovich's response.

But we're going to win with a refreshingly young, eager line-up! Right?

 

I hope so!

It hasn't happened a lot in the last few years but there's no team I hate us losing against more than Arsenal, a big performance today is essential to get us back in the hunt again

Let's hope for a good match, at least.

In a moment of rare optimism, I'm going to say today is the day we get our season back on track, with a 2-0 win.

Watched the press conference and thought Jose looked like he'd got his mojo back - hope the attitude in the squad is right for this, if it is we'll win. 

I think Jose has learned a bit about the fringe players as regards to who he can call on but will still be conservative in any changes.

 

I would imagine we'll see the usual suspects but I feel much more confident that if it's not going to plan, Jose will use the bench earlier to change it.

 

I might be wrong as I was in the CL match where I only predicted 6 of the starters but I won't be digging him out if he starts this one basically back to the norm, the fear for me is Ivanovic on the right with Fabregas deep and no Willian to cover...if Jose has worked on our problems over there in training then he should have a plan that will sure it up over there, maybe Ramires covering.

 

Lets just hope if changes have to be made that we're still on level terms and the changes make the difference.
