Hope you all have a fantastic day.

To win the league every home game is a must win game, maybe with the exception of city where a draw may or may not be a good result. 

Swans are flying again, real hard game i expect this will be. 

This is the begining of the final stretch of the season.

# The scousers have conspired to get out of all competitions so they can focus on a the league

# man city have hit form but have extra champions league and fa cup games

# Arsenal is arsenal and spurs are spurs

 

I say as long as we dont let the others in the league shd be a wrap by April. Winning the tropghy at Old Trafford against that Jealous Voyeur Mourinho wud be PRICLESS

I think the run in will be tough with a small squad. Luiz clearly not fully fit and maybe a bit mentally tired up front.

Only 13 real potential starters in squad plus maybe ake or zouma

Scoring goals will be the key so I hope costa and the others are up for it.

This week's crystal ball is here. The predictions are:

 

Chelsea (4-1-4-1): Begovi?; Azpilicueta, Cahill (c), Luiz, Pedro; Fábregas; Moses, Kanté, Hazard, Willian; Costa

Subs: Beeney, Aina, Zouma, Aké, Chalobah, Alonso, Batshuayi

 

Prediction: Chelsea 3-1 Swansea City (Costa, Moses, Fábregas)

 

I'll keep this one short by saying...yep, I'd take that. Costa, Moses and Fábregas (his first in crystal ball land) are on target in a convincing home performance. Wins are what we need and I think we'll get one this week. KTBFFH!

Massive game this.

Anything but a win and the teams below will begin to smell blood.

Will be difficult as Swansea are resurgent but we should have enough to win.

2-0.

 

tough game. swansea have clement and makalele making their homecoming

The loss of Dyer for the season and injury setbacks for Ki Sung Yeung and Montero is a blow for them...but Leon Britton may be fit enough for the bench...even with these injuries they have played really well under PM & CM, so I expect a good competitive match...at least they will look to attack and not play thug, 2 banks of 4 Burnley football...3 1 to Chelsea

I rarely say this but a must win game, they have improved lately with Clement but they are still in the relegation battle. We are this high up because we won against the "small" teams, you win the league by winning these games not derbies. We have stepped of the gas for a few games now, but we need the best Chelsea on saturday and perhaps extend our lead at the top.

I would be happy with 8 points clear after this week imo

as people have been saying its a massive game ,with 2 draws and one win out of our last 3 games we need to get back to a winning streak

with winable games (but still tough) coming up.

Massive massive game this! Considering we play before all of our rival, we can either give them an opening to come back or all but completely shatter their confidence of catching us.

Can only echo what others have said, not a top club or rival but an absolute must win game to keep the gap. Win well or win dirty doesn't matter. The chasing pack may say the title is over but lose one game and the difference is down to five, don't want 'squeaky bum time' down to the end of the season. 

I reckon we'll have too much for Swansea. I hope they stop up with their Chelsea connections but this is one game those sentiments go right out the window.

It was good to have Costa finding the net again against Wolves but hazard form is worrying, hes been very hot and cold recently, when hes on it, he does what he does agsinst Arsenal, when hes bad you forget hes playing, like the Wolves game.

We need to pick up the win in the 3pm kick off and set down a marker but Utd, City and Arsenal all have a week off over the League Cup final so we could have at least a 10 point gap from Spurs, if they win.

have hated this lot ever since the ball boy fiasco, hope we hammer them and hazard gets a hat trick

Swansea have improved but I don't see us slipping here. Score prediction: 3-0

Cheers mate! Hoping the boys in blue put on a show.

A must win game for us, needs to go on another mini winning streak leading up to the Manchester City game.

Am guessing city and arsenal were due to play saints and United next weekend as I did not see fixtures listed for them so probably league cup final moved their games. 

So an opportunity to gain on them and United, while remaining the same gap ahead of Liverpool and Spurs who have easy 3 point games. Need to do the business as the weekend after everyone plays before us as our game at west ham is on Monday night football....

We will thrash them 3 nil a pair from Diego and one from Pedro

Pedro has been an MVP for the team of late. 

Swansea's manager has created a big improvement in the team, we must come and play strong to get our 3 points!

I'd like to see this starting lineup:

----------------------- Courtois ------------------------

--- Azpilicueta --- David Luiz --- Cahill ----

Moses ----- Kante ------- Matic --------- Marcos Alonso

------------ Pedro ------------------- Hazard------------------

------------------------ Diego Costa ------------------

 

COME ON CHELS!!!!!!!

Let's hope Tibo is fit...he had to cancel a TV appearance in France on Sunday owing to gastro-enteritis...get well soon Tibo 

5 of us heading over on Saturday morning, where is the best before home games usually go to mcgettigan's before and the goose after the game.. cheers

no problems here. 4-0 Chelsea.
