We aren't going to get a clean sheet without Zouma, let's go out and aiming for scoring 3 goals

[wallosh]

Mikel and Matic together is a no no.....far to negative

Hiddink won't play Mikel-Matic against teams that doesn't have a deadly strike force. So don't expect both of them to start this match but you can bet they will both return to the starting lineup against PSG.

[pacquiao]

Last 3 games v Newcastle at Stamford Bridge we have won by an aggregate score of 7-0 (2-0, 3-0 & 2-0) hopefully we keep that run going with another win and clean sheet.

 

Courtois

Ivanovic - Cahill -Terry - Baba

Mikel - Fabregas

Pedro - Oscar - Hazard

Costa

 

 

Hopefully Willian and Azpilicueta get a rest for this one.

Hazard needs to start this game, he needs game time to hit his peak form again. After all him and Costa are our best shots at beating PSG.

We've only ever had major problems against Newcastle away from home so I'm not worried about them being a bogey team of ours for home games against them but I do worry about our current form.

 

Last season's side would definitely win this but with this current side anything is possible.

Oh, I feel we will break the cycle tomorrow.

By losing?

By losing?

Wash your mouth out! No, I have us winning 2:0 :)

[axman2526]

By losing?

Lol nice one beerqueen.

Could happen mind you, anyone can beat anyone this season.

[Beerqueen]

I don't even know if I was joking tbh.  This season has just made me think that anything could happen and I wouldn't be a bit surprised.  Not after Bournemouth.

[TheChelseaBlues]

2-2 draw

[the real shed end]

I think we could all pick the team, even if its not the one we want.

I still think we need to win this or we will be back in trouble.

So frustrating with the talent we have.

Courtois

Ivan (rb)

Cahill

JT

Dave

Mikel

Cesc

Willy

Oscar ( for the usual hour or so)

Hazard

Costa

Hopefully a win so i am going 1-0.

Hopefully plenty of singing.

Come on the Chels

I haven't seen much on this thread about Costa's situation, but it appears that Costa broke his nose in practice yesterday. I haven't heard any reports of his availability, but Hiddink said in his pre-match presser that he feels DC will play vs the barcodes.

The question is whether he can play at his normal level. I personally can't imagine that wearing a face mask doesn't affect you in some way. Hopefully the effect on him will be small.

This week keeps getting worse.

[Ballack & Blu]

Something missing from Utd game, wheres the MOTM poll?

We can't seem to get a full 11 on the pitch without that face mask these days 

[Hemel Blue]

Early train up today.Few beers and an Italian then MH upper this week (prefer that to the East stand,too quiet)Hopefully a good game and result.....UP THE CHELS!

[gazza]

cant see anything other than a draw , expect the players will have one eye on psg next week

[CFCCAN]

I think this is as good as a 'must win'.  We need to get away from the 'extended' relegation zone and shove Newcastle right back down there.  Unless Newcastle play exceptionally well I can't see anything other than 3 points.

[Droogba]

Come on you Blues, 2:0

[Jamjar1986]

Hazard to start hopefully, costa to continue scoring, comfortable home win [emoji1305][emoji1305][emoji1305][emoji1305]

I have a headache already, I'm a tad tense. Chelsea!

[bola]

To be brutally honest, finishing 17th is pretty much the same as finishing anywhere outside the top 6.. If there is anything that can help us in our other 2 cup competitions then we maybe should go for it.. Having said that, I'd still probably get pissed if we don't win this game

Yeah, about to do the same. About to leave, have some beers and food, and in my case is the MT lower with my missus (the friend I normally go with couldn't make it today). Should be a good game and we should get the three points. I'm always optimistic hours before the match, then I start to get nervous and pessimistic towards the kick off hehehehe. C'mon you Blues!
