Hazard, Costa, Pedro, Moses, Alonso, Kante, Matic!   We have plenty of Grit and attack.  if they think only keeping hazard quiet is enough, then they haven't yet played our squad!  The spuds are in for a tough evening on Saturday.  

What's the best mixer for Hennessy - I want to enjoy this whilst watching the game?? 

Ginger ale with either lemon rind or if you're feeling it, a small slice of lemon with a few cloves in it. 

I'm a pessimist but hear me out. This game I have a not so good feeling about. When the match day threads are doom and gloom, we usually get a result. When we are over confident, we usually faulter. Same goes for the media, they tip one team to walk in and it goes the other way.This is the Premier League. Logic is we should smash the Spuds but this league defies logic. 

I hope I'm wrong and it doesn't turn out to be as difficult as I think but I'm going for 4-0 Chelsea.

You can't beat Henny and Coke or Dr Pepper

I've never tried it with Dr Pepper, but i can see how that would work, might be a bit sweet for my liking though, I prefer tangier mixed drinks (Tequila and Fanta lemon being a personal favourite)

Thanks lads!  Will do both....

 

Hopefully Deli Ali is still a doubt.

We should be fresh and prepared while they should be the opposite.

You can never call these games as it will be tough but by god I want to put these non entity's back in their place.

They will no doubt try to rough us as they cant match our talent.

3-0.  Delle Ali is no longer a doubt.  He's fit and played mid week.  I doubt he's match sharp though cause he's been out a while!  LINE UP

                        Lloris

Walker        Dier    Wimmer   Vertonghen

              Wanyama    Dembele

Sissoko             Eriksen             Ali/Son

                         Kane 

 

I'm not too concerned with the Spuds.  Kante and Matic should win the Midfield but I see Moses Pedro and Hazard Harassing the Wimmer, Dier Vertonghen side!  3 - 0 I maintain!!!!

Is he fit though? Neville said he was limping quit a bit after it and didn't look fit at all.

That defense looks shaky, apart from Walker no one is on their natural position. With the amount of chances we are creating at the moment goals shouldn't miss out.

I'm surprised the spuds showed such a poor account of themselves in the CL only English club that are out.

This probably means though that they are fired up for the league now, in addition their players have stated they want revenge for the last away game to Chelsea. 

So we can say they will be well up for it, this is also the best spuds team I can remember. Having said that they are still Tottenham and we are still Chelsea, a Chelsea that is playing as well as I have seen them play in years.

Tottenham don't beat us at the bridge, in fact they never have in the PL era, maybe once in the league cup in 2008 I think, but not in the league and I don't see why they would do what they have never been able to do now to a team that have scored 17 goals without reply...

I am certain we will win this but I have a nasty feeling they may taint that clean sheet record that I for one am very attached to.

I see us getting an early goal!  The spuds getting fired up to recover and we hit them again!  They they resort to parking it for damage limitation till we get our 3rd!  We should keep our clean sheet please.....

Hilarious!

M Oliver is delegated. No red card yet..

I also do hope you're wrong but from what I saw on training videos, it looks like they're relaxed. Still focused on the goal but relaxed.

thats Costa booked then , he seems to have something against him

Here's to a long hard slog in the Europa league for the Suds; still won't win it, snigger and titter.

The match has been scheduled at the perfect moment . Chelsea's form is stupendous . No premier league team is unable to match up to our playing standards off late . 

This game should put our integrity and new formation to test once again , with Spurs arguably the toughest test for Chelsea this season . I would rate Spurs above Manc or Arsenal because of their solidarity to play as a team , defensive reliablity and young,agile & quickfeet strike force .

Injury issues for spurs means we are in a better position to seal the deal . Rose / Alderweireld / Lamela out sounds like bad news for Spurs , but they have pace , depth and solidarity . So there should be no room in our minds to under-estimate them .

Moses would definitely exploit the gaps left with the missing Rose and a make-shift Vertonghen to play there , but Alonso will face a tougher task to see off Kyle Walker . Kante will be influential to keep Eriksen and Dembele at hold and a free Matic can roam forward . 

I expect a heavy midfield battle between the teams , with both teams trying to look for possession and quick passes . With the 3-man defence , i dont see Spurs going for long-balls , rather they would stick to ground passes and through balls . We on the other hand , have an advantage of long balls with David Luiz , Alonso and Moses doing this regularly to find Pedro / Moses .

I predict a 3-0 Home Win with Hazard scoring a brace and one from Diego Costa :)

Three points any which way will do me.Not my favourite team or supporters.Lets keep their abysmal run at the bridge going.....UP THE CHELS!

John Terry injured!  Praise to the dev team.  Moses being scouted by Barcelona.  very straight forward  conference.  Zoned out on the Mikel question though!  Anyone, what was Conte's response to that Mikel question?

 

 

Let's hope we see more of this from hazard tomorrow...still gives me a buzz six months later

 

 

Come on Chelsea! can't wait for this one, it's goung to be a cracker
