Carroll has scored four career goals against us in 13 games and 2 of them came last season where even i would have stood half a chance of netting vs Chelsea.

Saying he always scores against us is about as accurate as saying Drogba always scored against United.

That happens we may not be top anymore. Certainly won't be 10 points clear.

So we are going to drop points against two teams who have taken regular thrashings by the big boys? SOrry but that's just pessimism for the sake of it.

If Carrols fit I can see the crosses from Noble to the back post against Dave being a common theme. Antonio is suspended and Matic will most likely play in place of Fab.

Where is the 'WILL' ?

Is it an eye test?  I'm not wearing my glasses at the moment.

With or without Carrol, with that massive pitch and their terrible home form, we should absolutely HAMMER them.

We are his favourite. Bring it on! Kante will take care of him.

I wonder what the atmosphere will be in London Stadium. Big time players thrive in this kind of environment.

Nervous. Cant afford to drop points and give the contenders any hope. 

Will be a tough game. WHU always is, but this season it means so much more.

Tibo

Azpi Zouma DL GC Alonso

Pedro Matic Kante Hazard

Costa

 

You really don't like Fabregas don't you ? :D 

He has to start this. I am not simply stating this because he was good on Saturday, I am saying this because their pitch is so big and this will suit him. So many gaps to exploit. And we should be taking the game to them. With the size of that pitch, they will be sh*tting themselves with Fabregas on the field, carving openings for likes of Pedro, Hazard and Costa.

i think fabregas has to start this one !!

If I was the gaffer, I would start Matic for this one - tough London Derby & I want my biggest & strongest out there laying down the law vs the bubble blowers

I'd play the same team, they are in decent form but there's no reason to fear them. We will over 60% of the ball, how we use the ball will determine the outcome of the game.

This is it now, the trickiest part of the season starts with this game.

West Ham away

Stoke Away

Crystal Palace Home

Man City Home

Bournemouth Away

Man Utd Away

14 points here will do the trick, that's dropping 4 points but no chance with the fixtures of our opponents will any of them go on an unbeaten 6 game run, a draw with city is a far bigger plus for us than them, have to focus on running the games that we should be winning and not slip on those, if we do that and draw with the two Manchester clubs should be job done.

Fair enough

I'm usually pretty nervous about these games, BUT I can only see us winning this one at a canter as others have suggested. The big pitch will suit us perfectly. I can see Hazard running riot here, simply too much space for him to exploit and run in to. And if its not him, it will be Pedro.

If Fabregas starts we will breeze this game, if Matic starts we will also win this game. Bottom line we will win this game.

We wont keep a clean sheet though, I agree with others that if Carroll plays he will score. He's just a peter crouch who ate all his veg. Somethings you just cant stop, lanky giants winning headers is one of them.

 

We took Tottenham out the title race last year for Leicester, they just took Liverpool out of it for us,  Tottenham have not got the minerals to claw back 10 points, they would have enough of a hard time defending 10 points, bottle jobs, so I think it's only city to worry about and they have us and UTD, draws in those games for us are fine for them its 4 less points they can make up, they also have liverpool right after their CL game with Monaco and then Arsenal after that, you have to say a few more wins on the board and it's going to be very hard for us to be caught. 

Referee Andre Marriner

We are fading a touch but not as much as last time we won. I look for costa and hazard to keep delivering.

Fading ? We are playin? really well as a team.
