feel like i have been a coma for the pat 10 dayz

Not heard of any injuries during the international break.... unless ive missed any. Just hope the Brazilians get back soon and are rested ready for Saturday.

the break is too long, you start to worry that they will go off the boil

If there was ever a match to start Cesc, this is the one. We all know that Big Sam will park the bus in front of the Palace goal, while he is dreaming of meat pies to eat after the match

Is it me or has this 2 week break felt like 2 months?  The Cahill goal against stoke feels like ages ago. Can't wait to finally get back to another league game.

Hilarious pic!

just read a piece about Sakho and how he's made them more solid even though he hasnt played for months.

could be a tricky game. Need Cesc to unlock them. Come on Chels!

Thanks! It'll be the trip of a lifetime. 

Courtois 

Dave SSB Cahill 

Moses Fabregas Kante Alonso 

Pedro Costa Hazard 

No letting up...play our best team for each and every game till mathematically we're untouchable. That's the Conte way...

Finally, after 3 weeks in the army, I can watch a Chelsea game. I really hope I'm going to watch a good team football because I missed to see them boys so much!

Regular starting lineup, regular performance, can't ask for more.

COME ON CHELS!!!!!!!!

we shd start cesc and pedro for this game. save willian and matic for city on wednesday

Palace is capable of scoring goals, but their defence has been awful all season, even they kept a couple of clean sheets lately. I believe a regular team, with the normal standard football we will get the 3 points. I'm so look forward to this game, I'm sure Conte couldn't wait either after 2 weeks of non-sense rumours.

Can't stand international breaks.

I worry about our players picking up injuries.

Chelsea and Chelsea only for me.

Totally agree mate.

Proper football is back.Three points any which way will do.....UP THE CHELS !

Still have bad memories of that w**ker slamming his fist on the press conference desk and laughing about how we were "out-tacticked" and "outwitted"

8-0 Chelsea

we are due up to give somebody a good spanking !!

Injuries could be quite a problem. Har to tell how real international injuries are. Costa's ankle for instance. Courtois though is a worry.

• On injury concerns: Conte says its important to check 2-3 situations to make the best decision tomorrow. It was not easy to work this week because after international break, some players come back with some problems. We have to wait tomorrow to make the best decision.

• On who is ruled out for tomorrow: Conte says " I think that it is important to check the situations of these players (Hazard, Moses, JT).

• On if chelsea has received any bids for Hazard: Conte says " I repeat the same thing, its very important to be focused on the present because it is very dangerous. The only thing I can say is Eden is a chelsea player, we are happy with him and he is happy with us".

• On if it is an attempt to unsettle the player: Conte says " I think this is a part of the player, where clubs try to create a type of difficulty in the mind of the players, my players have this experience to overcome these difficulties".

• On if he would like to see the club offer him a new contract: Conte says " we all know we are in a great club with great ambition, there is great will to do great things in the future but I hope to do great things in the present. Don't forget there are 10 games to play, we want to finish the season with great success. The will of all is to build a great team".

• On how he assess the title race at the moment: Conte says " In my past i lived two different experience, one positive and one negative. We need 21 points to be champions, for sure tomorrow we play a very tough game because its never easy after the international break. We have to pay great attention tomorrow, its a game of fundamental importance".

• On if he has had a chat with Hazard about next season: Conte says " No, I like to talk to him about next game and the importance, he missed the last game against stoke city, we need to check his form, I hope to see him play great football tomorrow. That is what I like to talk to him about".

Conte says he is confident Hazard will be fit tomorrow.

• On JT's contract: Conte says " For every situation, there will be a right moment, the club is working very well to solve many situations. I like to talk about John for this season because he is helping me a lot. He is doing a great job on and off the pitch. John knows my thoughts about him, the most important thing is for John to know my thoughts".

• Conte says football is full of surprises, " In my experience as a footballer, i won but I lost more. We need to keep our feet on the grind and work hard, there are 10 games to go and our opponents don't want to accept that Chelsea is champions. So we need to play and keep winning.

• On if he is frustrated to see other clubs do things more publicly regarding transfers like Madrid are doing: Conte says "once other teams want your players, it means you are doing a great job with these players. I repeat, I think that we are already in a great club that is trying to build something important"

• About what Wenger said that there is only one team in London: Conte says " I think in London there are many teams, we have a derby tomorrow against a London team. I listen to other coaches but I prefer to have respect for other clubs".

• Conte says he thinks Big Sam is a top coach, and its a pity he got sacked by England after one game. He knows the importance of being a coach of your country, Conte says it would be a great pleasure to see Big Sam.

• On if Palace are a better team now compared to when we played them in December: Conte says " I remember very well that game because Palace has a lot of really good players, likes of Zaha, Townsend, Cabaye are good players. IF you ask me why they are in this position, I don't know because it is very strange, same thing happened to Chelsea last season. We have to pay great attention because in the last 3 games, they won.

GAMEDAY!! COME ON CHELS!!!

Come on Chelsea.

3 points today please.

Great interview Pre Match above by our gaffer. He is so focused on each and every match and I believe each and every training session.

Thank God the International break is over. I was having withdrawal symptoms. Not sure of injuries but BBC stating Moses, Costa and Courtois could be doubts. Let's hope not. Every game is a Cup Final and todays will be no different. Big Sam will shut up shop and hit us on the break.Same old tactics. We have some really difficult games coming up against Both Manc teams and Everton. 3 points today is essential eventhough this could be harder than we think .Let's hope we win. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!
