2:1

If we scrape a victory and 3 points, we will only be a point behind Everton in the table. Just shows how mad this season has been so far.

Looking at the fixtures it is a real blow that we drew with wba. Wba play Southampton today, and if we could've gotten back to back victories this week, it would have had us pushing top 10.

As it stands we really need to get a win in either the next 2 games or we could be back where we were a few weeks ago, just above the relegation zone.

I'm not sure what the team should be, kenedy looked very nervous against wba, but still was better than pedro, so I think he deserves a start.

Most of the squad have had there chance and not stepped up barring remy, and the 3 youngsters.

Any sort of win will be a suprise but very much appreciated. Come on chelsea.

Not confident after the last game. Looked very shaky at the back.

Can't imagine Hiddink will start Pedro after his dismal show. And Oscar is well into his mid season slump.

Will Hiddink be brave enough to start both Kenedy and RLC?

Can't afford to lose this. A draw would be a good result for us.

Very tough game best i can see is a draw, need to drop cesc pedro and oscar and bring in kennedy,rlc,and hazard if fit.

we are in need of points because i cannot see many coming from next few games and we could be bottom four soon

Last month or so cesc had been one of our better players

Chelsea FC ?@ChelseaFC  23 sil y a 23 secondes

Team to face Everton: Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry ©, Azpilicueta; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Pedro; Diego Costa. #CFC

Matic replaces Oscar

Today's subs: Begovic, Baba, Cahill, Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy, Oscar, Remy. #CFC

idk if guus going extra defensive by starting both mikel and matic or oscar's just too sh*te

 

happy with a draw, tough match im sure lukaku will play with a chip on his shoulder 

Mikel and Matic?

Where's Ramires today?

Another garbage weak kneed official. Mike Jones. This game could hinge on how soon Barry gets booked.

Where's Ramires today?

Some rumours that he is unhappy with his play time a looking to leave. Seems unlikely to me though.

Cannot say I am happy with that line up. You could say it is defensive but if anyone is playing worse than oscar at the moment it is Pedro and matic who now both start. We may be even more exposed at the back.

Honestly so far guus has disappointed, he is doing more or less what Jose would have likely done. Guess it goes along with the club public statements backing the players to set things right.

Im starting to think Holland is picking the team each week

pedro hadnt offered anything to us since his debut. At least Oscar has been dropped.

Haven't heard them Ramires rumours but does seem unlikely and yh totally agree we could of played Kenedy ahead of Pedro give the lad a chance and loftus cheek, we concede when Matic came on other day if we play with 2 defensive minded central midfielders most of the time it never works out for us unfortently hopefully today is different

Not optimistic at all for this game, we'll be lucky to scrape a draw...

Play your left back at left back, and your right back at right back, until then we will continue to have one less outlet going forward.

Oscar dropped but Pedro retains his place.

Magic despite being woeful following his introduction mid week gets a start.

Strange team selection to say the least.

But Dave scored on Wednesday

That's great, imagine how much more impact he could have playing in the correct position.

This line up should've have started vs Westbrom imo with maybe the exception of Matic for RLC. Anyways, I hope Cesc delivers in the advanced position, if he does we can be guaranteed Costa would score (hoping the Cesc to Diego magic hasn't faded). A bit optimistic than earlier. 2-1 is my prediction.

Baba Rahman we may as well f**king get shot of, Jose and Guus both don't fancy him. A left footed left back, still cant get a game with the option of right footed Azpi taking over from dogsh*t Brana

Nothing changes, no new ideas from management, Kenedy and RLC have proved they can play in this team so why not give them a start?
