nice looking avatar there mate - btw I am sure Conte is liking what he has in front of him - a full weeks rest & preparation vs manure's two matches in the same time & all of the media surrounding them & their dismal display despite spending a 1/4 billion on new signings - I hope this will lead to a 3-0 win for the blues - Up The Chels!!!!

Thanks mate, its the avatar from my Facebook page called Chelsea Loyal. We will surely go for the win, we are back in the title race with just three points of the top. The players are looking happy and giving their best which was not seen for awhile. Let's hope for the best!

David Luiz 30 yarder please

Looks like JT will miss the game. That sucks.

Yeah, the two were decent. On the other hand I also saw N'Golo Kanté make a fantastic burst forward and almost score, however I wouldn't necessarily consider that the norm.

I think De Gea will be the difference this game, unreal keeper. Even if we pepper shots at him it'll take something special to actually beat him.

Unfortunatly yes, even better then Neuer for me. Reminds me of Cech back in 04-06 form.

I can see Jose going for an early 1-0 and reversing the bus in for the remaining time, he will make sure Mancs defence tries every trick in the book to get Costa sent off. Not going to be a pretty game! We need to remind the Mancs who we are and tear them a new asshole, come on the Chels!

No Mourinho chants during the game please, Conte chants for the win  

Totally agree! Have seen it mentioned elsewhere to chant his name before kick off? Let's just get behind Conte eh!

It's crazy how far De Gea has come. Looked awful when he first came to the Premier League, in terms of commanding the box and dealing with crosses atleast, his reflexes have almost been great.

I agree with most others, let's clap Mourinho at the start before the game -- then get fully behind OUR team and manager. Once the whistle blows, there's no need for nostalgia.

Some people said Mourinho will set up like he did against Liverpool. I don't think so. Don't think he sees us as dangerous, and believes we are vulnerable instead... so will attack. Should be a great game!

2-1 Chelsea. Manure to score first, Costa to get a goal back, and then we get a dodgy penalty decision in the last minute which we score. Only to listen to Mourinho complain about the refs. :D

This'll be one game I won't mind hearing Mourinho moaning post match.

Yeah, give Jose a round of applause, but I don't want his name sung either.

He did a lot for us, a lot lot. But he's Utd now, he isn't coming back.

Gutted for JT too, wonder if he's starting to think about the big R word yet.

To echo what others have alreday said, I would hope for polite applause when Mourinho steps out, then nothing further after that.

Certainly no singing of his name and equally no booing.

I will of course always have respect for what he did, but we as fans showed him unlimited of appreciation & support when he was our manager, right until the very end, when everyone else had turned on him. 

We are not in his debt; he has moved on and so should we. 

90 minutes of solid "Matthew Hardings Blue & White Army" will do just fine. 

As for the game, I predict a nervy 0-0 with a possibility of either team winning 1-0. I would love to see us boss the game with Hazard & Diego having the game of their lives and I believe of those two do rbing their A-game then we will win it. 

 

Spread the word guys!

Besides:

Think Luiz should be given the nod on free-kicks for the foreseeable future. It's nice to have options but Willians free-kicks have been largely pants for about a year now.

First post a placement that's bound to work 

If Mourinho actually puts out a team that attacks then Utd will be a big threat. Shaw and Martial on the left and Valencia and Rashford on the right would be very dangerous against 1 wingback each side and Cahill.

Luckily Mourinho will go for his trusty defensive players like Young and Fellani. Fellani makes Toure and Mikel look like Marathon runners so hopefully he does play. Carrick is still there best CM.

Ibra doesn't like to run which helps Cahill and Terry if he plays.

 

Terry IS available apparently. 

I think De Gea will be the difference this game, unreal keeper. Even if we pepper shots at him it'll take something special to actually beat him.

My thoughts exactly!

Unfortunatly yes, even better then Neuer for me. Reminds me of Cech back in 04-06 form.

I have been saying it for years that for years but most times I get criticized for it. The fact that United have been struggling in Europe since Sir Alex quit might be the reason why some people underrate De gea. I believe if they both swap teams and Neuer comes to England, Neuer will still prove himself as the best in the EPL but he will rarely get clean sheets here when compared to his time in Germany.

2-1, Costa and Eden to get the winner.

If Costa finishes the match I'll be shocked. I expect him to be at peak Costa for this but if Jose isn't telling his defenders to push every button the know he really has lost it. Expect an early yellow and the 2nd to follow late on

Love this quote from Don Antonio about Jose Mourinho:

 

"When you win three championships you remain in the heart of the fans,  thats normal Then after the whistle he becomes like the players of  manure - enemy."

Well this game is one for the ages.

I'd love to see us teach Mou a lesson for leaving us for United.

We do have a bit of form after displacing Leicester, so I hope there will be that bit of confidence in our squad which we sorely need.

Am hopeful, but not arrogantly confident.
