We have to be careful not to give any stupid free kicks away that give them the opportunity to load our box. Kill the supply to Carroll and he's totally nullified, they then have to worry more about us.

Really really nervous for this one.  Eek!

As long as they don't put 11 behind the ball we are OK if they come out to play it will suit us greatly more space for Hazard Costa and Pedro

Buzzing !! Can't wait for this game. Diego gonna bully the pikeys

there sh*te at home

ktbffh

One of my favourite matches if the season ( away to spuds takes some beating ). I can't stand this lot and I'm hoping by now that Don Conte is tuning in to the finer points of being the leader of our army and understands what it means playing these scum. 3-0 will keep me happy and the title a little closer. COME ON YOU BLUES!!!!

Fabregas starts! I wasn't expecting that. 

All the pundits want us to lose today. Let's shut them up. 

Ake not on the bench . But what supposed me more is no chabolah , he hadn't been on the bench the last two games. Wonder what's happening. Apart from that the team looks good. I'm are we will win ktbffh 

Good lineup. Hopefully the team can put up a good performance later.

Come on Chelsea!

Kouyate at RB for them again. If Holebas can have a field day against him then Hazard should run riot.

Glad to see Fabregas starting, makes me a bit more confident of getting all three points

I see Match coming in for Fabregas at 70th mins to secure advantage , hopefully.

WestHam 4-2-3-1 formation

Thank god they did not adopt 3-4-3 to match us

We play 434?

Looking like we are going for more of an attacking game plan. Fabregas will be key to proving that killer pass.

 

i say if we are wining then matic will come on probably for hazard or Pedro to keep it tight.

sorry meant 3-4-3

No Matic so that's a surprise. Fabregas will have to play another blinder.

Lampard trying so hard not to say that he's basically the player Pogba should be modeling himself around 

Attacking team also West ham look like they are not going to sit deep and play defensive which is what I wanted more space to attack

There is a case for starting either Cesc or Matic against West Ham.

Obviously Conte expects to dominate possession.

3 points here is important (but it often is).

We will have to be careful with fouls. Snodgrass is a good free-kicker.
