Sunday looks like a good day for football. After this there's Spurs vs Utd and West Ham vs Liverpool. Hopefully we win ours so I can enjoy the other two. 

zouma's been having full training with the first team the last 5 weeks now, i understand we're in no hurry to bring him back but with matic possibly out again this week we need some pace on that left side to cover fabregas and alonso so think this is the perfect time to bring him back to the fold

I am torn between Willian and Pedro!  I think Willian should start - or come in second half with pace when opposition is a bit tired???  

The lads are performing too wellll.  They are spoiling us - I feel invincible now!!!!

Think we should stick to the same team. if we're still struggling on 60 mins then bring Willian on.

4-0 to Chelsea hazard 2,  Diego 1 and Pedro/Willian 1

 

Can't underrate them as they are a solid side with some good players but we should win this. Got to make it 9 in a row. Just need to be focused and on from the start and we should be able to win it quite comfortably. Same team as always if Matic and Pedro is back for me, Willian can be a wonderful option from the bench against tired legs if its still tight a littlebit into the second half.

Don't concede corners, as well as free kicks within 20 yards of the goal and we should be okay. 

Courtois

Alonso

Cahill

Luiz

Azpilicueta

Moses

Fabregas

Kante

Hazard

Costa

Willian

Will miss this one as will be flying home from Finland when it kicks off. 

I'm doing a Jose, let's pick Matic in stead of Cesc to counter WBA's long punts and physical game. If Pedro is fit, he should start.

Usual team if matic and costa fit. Hard but very winnable game.

Chalobah should be given his start in case matic is injured.

Courtois

Azpilicueta - Luiz - Zouma

Moses - Kante - Fabregas - Alonso

Pedro - Hazard

Costa

 

Chelsea 3 West Brom 0

Hazard

Costa

Pedro

Only change i would make for the winning team maybe rest Pedro for Willian. Also i would bring back Mati? if he can recover from his injury, if not Chalobah or Cesc to go with Kante.

Think it will be harder than we think 2-0 for the Mighty Blues

Anyone know what the current situation is with Costa's minor injury on the weekend?

Would be great if we could go back to keeping clean sheets again. 

These guys always give us problems!  Always!!!!  We should just attack relentlessly and get an early two goal cushion!!  i hope Diego has recovered from the knock and that he is fully fit for this one!  Even half fit we need him to get the early cushion!

Last results against WBA:

 

We need the 3 points!  I predict 4-0

 

 

These guys tend to give us a tough game, but I am hopeful this season will be different!

 

Interesting that there's been a red card in 3 out of the last four meetings between the sides; hopefully that doesn't continue this week. 

 

 

West Brom the manager slayer

Just need to avoid complacency. Dangerous if the team thinks this will be easy after the spurs and city games.

 

If we turn up with the right attitude (which we have for 8 games), we should win. Not an easy game though.

something for the younger viewers who hopefully won't see a repeat!!!

Instead of who? Fabregas? How does that make any sense. Fabregas will get much more time on the ball this match and Kante will cover for any defensive mistakes he makes. I don't see no sense in playing Chalobah and Kante. WBA are going to be much more defensive. That is where we need Fabregas.
