Honestly not sure what to expect from this game, baring our normal line up:

Courtios

Brana

Zouma

Terry

Azpi

Mikel

Cesc

Willian

Oscar

Hazard

Costa

Courtois

 

Brana

Zouma

JT

Azpi

 

Mikel

Matic

 

Wilian

Cesc

Hazard

 

Costa.

 

I expect us to win this one 2-1. Gonna be tough

I think our players have more confidence, other teams starting to afraid us more, we're starting to earn our respect back, so I'm coming fully motivated to that game. I think we have to win this game, our players have more quality and there's no reason that we will lose points here. We're still unbeaten and coming after two good wins.

 

I'd like to see this starting line:

 

--------------------------- Courtois ------------------------------

 

Azpilicueta ------ Zouma -------- Terry ------- Baba Rahman

 

---------------- Fabregas --------------- Mikel ------------------

 

Willian -------------------- Oscar -------------------------- Hazard

 

-------------------------- Diego Costa -----------------------------

 

 

Baba has added some good attacking football against MK Dons, there's no reason for him to be dropped. 

 

COME ON CHELS!!!!!

This is going to be another good one with us scoring a few, or more goals. Come on you Blues, an added dimension now for JT.

Baba looked good last game, ok maybe mk dons are no world beater but he's starting to blend in with the team.. massive improvement from his debut..  ivanovic to stay out, rest or whatever.. it's getting ridiculous with the priviledge he's having.. I want to see full strength chelsea without off field problem.. it's time.. 

I expect a toxic atmosphere after the JT news and it wouldn't surprise me if it affected the team.

A win to keep the run going.

Wouldn't normally say Baba but after his performance yesterday I would give him a go, thought he looked very positive going forward, we worked much better like this. Although of course Watford are tougher opposition.

My IDEAL (not predicted 11) starting 11

Begovic, azpi, Terry, zouma, baba,mikel,faberagas(would prefer more attacking faba), Willian Oscar hazard and Costa

It would be nice to see Pato and maybe Maizga get a run out

or a duck in a mazda...

No second guessing what the team will be. I think Pato will play a cameo.

 

Tricky game, teams that play direct have given us plenty of problems this season, don't think that will change. The way Tibo been controlling high balls is a real worry heading into this game, I'm sure Watford will target him. Having said that, we should have beaten them a month ago. I think we are playing better now, and Watford has been dropping lots of points lately, we really should put them away.

This is a tough one. I think tougher than Arsenal away. They will not be able to play proactive football and will keep it tight at back. Hoping for a win, expecting a 1-1 draw.

I would start

 

Courtois

Ivanovic - Zouma - Terry - Azpilicueta

Mikel - Fabregas

Willian - Oscar - Hazard

Costa

 

Watford 1 Chelsea 3

 

Costa, Oscar and Hazard with the goals.

3-0 win for us. 

 

Troy Deeney sent off

Three points would be nice.....UP THE CHELS!

Hard fought 1-0 win for us I reckon.

I think the players have got the confidence to win this game, and we should, but these kind of teams are tough to play. Very strong and intense football. My doubts are mostly with our defensive line, I don't see the defenders to be as strong as last year yet. Need to watch out corners and quick passes to the spaces our defenders leave. In any case, if we win the midfield and have most of the possession, it should be a win.

Results go our way we could go up to 11th.

Though I doubt that as Palace host Bournemouth and Everton host Newcastle.

Think we'll win but can't see a clean sheet.

It would be nice to see Pato and maybe Maizga get a run out 

Never going to happen in a million years.

 

An untried 20 year old only signed at the weekend, new to the PL, straight into a midweek match, away?  Why would you?

I think watford have had their shout for the season...3 1 us

Well after the match on sunday confidence should be high, Oscar has to start after that performance, he looks revitalised and seemed to enjoy the bit more attacking freedom under Guus, even if it was against MK Dons. Nontheless here's what i'd go with

Courtois (obviously)

Azpilicueta (He is WASTED at left back, play him in his proper position, he's a good technical player going forward)

Zouma (our best defender this season, has the pace to keep Ighalo quiet as well, which will be needed)

Terry (I don't need to say anything on this, he's JT)

Baba (Still not the best defensively, but he adds a whole new dimension to our build up, provides good width with his overlapping runs and needs more game time)

Mikel (Not a huge fan, but he's earned his place ahead of matic in my opinion, and gives Cesc more freedom)

Cesc (His passing from deep is incredible and he controls the game's tempo, which we'll need, also he's in great from)

Willian (Nailed on starter)

Oscar (Looks like he's in good form, can't be dropped after a hattrick )

Hazard (hopefully he's got a bit of confidence after the penalty, we need him back to his best. This was a toss up between him and Kenedy for me. Kenedy is one of the few players in our squad who really excites me these days)

Costa (Been in good form, and always a handful for any centre backs)

3-1 to chelsea i think, watford's form has been poor of late and we're playing well, so I can see a good win

I think we'll win 3 - 1.

Hopefully Terry can score one. Would love to watch him kiss his badge for our board to see.

Come on Chelsea.

Any old win please!

I think we'll win 3 - 1.

Hopefully Terry can score one. Would love to watch him kiss his badge for our board to see.

Come on Chelsea.

Maybe we'll see a contract-worthy performance from him. Terry is a kind of player who needs clear goals. That one year extension is one.
