Guus has announced in today's conference that Pato will be involved in tomorrow's match... Will we manage to get a 0-0 draw?

 

By involved he means taking the kit home and washing it ready for next week.

Hahaha I wished it was that! But Guus also mentioned that Traoré (and William and Oscar) were returning today from internationals and he'd assess their availability later on. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd play Pato (or Remy   ) as first choice... But hope Traoré will be ready and Guus plays him.

What do we think the line up will be today? Considering the late arrivals and Gus stating he is willing to experiment?

Presser:

 

Did you watch it in SnoopaVision?

cech ivan terry cahill dave  rlc mikel pedro oscar willian remy ??????? same old same old

I'd go with something like this.

              Courtois
Azpi - Ivan - Terry - Baba
           Fabregas
       RLC   -    Matic
Pedro       -          Kenedy
              Pato

Using Miazga and Traore as subs.
Willian only just got back after 2 hard games in Brazil so could probably do with a rest, likewise Traore has only just returned from Africa so I imagine won't start.
I actually think this team looks pretty decent and very balanced, I am also looking forward to seeing Pato in action so his inclusion over Remy is something I would definitely prefer.

What Guus picks who knows most likely same old same old either way a big win up the Chels.  

I'd play Traore instead of Pato and see how he is feeling at half time. Apart from that, it is an interesting line up, PedroMendez.

I'd say that would be both old AND a little different for this season.

I would go with:

 

Begovic

 

Baba

Terry

Ivanovic

Azpilicueta

 

Matic

Fabregas

 

Hazard

Loftus-Cheek

Kenedy

 

Traore

oops meant courtois

Chelsea team v Aston Villa: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic ©, Miazga, Baba; Mikel, Fabregas; Pedro, Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy; Remy. #CFC

Chelsea subs: Begovic, Jake Clarke-Salter, Matic, Oscar, Traore, Pato, Falcao. #CFC

Miazga, Loftus Cheek and Baba start

f**king hell.

 

Well done Guus. 

 

Miazga and Baba is shocking, Loftus-Cheek and Kenedy is less surprising but still very welcome.

 

Plus Clarke-Salter and Traore on the bench.

 

First time I've cared about a match this much in a while. Come on Chels!!!

Well there's a pleasant surprise.......might get beaten but at least it will be entertaining...

Remy FFS. What has Traore got to do to get a start. And Falcao on the bench, at least he's pretending to earn his money now then.

Was hopin for pato/falcao to get a start, kenedy baba rlc though [emoji1305][emoji1305][emoji1305][emoji1305]

He didnt arrive back from international duty till yesterday afternoon, bit unfair to expect him to do well under such circumstances.

Yooth!

I think Traore had a long international break and came back late so he's maybe not quite fit. 

 

Don't really care who starts out of Remy, Falcao or Pato because they're all gone (hopefully) at the end of the season. What a pathetic set of transfers though.

f**king hell.

 

Well done Guus.

 Terry and Cahill injured took the decision out of his hands plus a lot of the lads on international duty didnt arrive back till yesterday afternoon.

Credit where it's due, Hiddink said he's play more kids and Kenedy, Miazga and RLC are starting. [emoji106]

Miazga, Loftus Cheek and Baba start

At first I thought this was our bench :-)
