Costa needs to turn up today.

Key player for us today in my opinion. If he can regain prior form and bang in one or two early goals, we are off and running. Need an early goal to take them out of it.

Come on you Chelsea!!

Is true nothing is a given. Honestly I expect our lead to be 5 points tonight, cut in half from last week. Score draw today most likely result I feel. 

If Chelsea can win the next 3 games the lead will grow ,  Spurs have a rough road lads

 

@leicester

Arsenal

@West Ham

ManU

It's all about what we do.

Come on Chelsea.

Here are the crystal ball predictions. Not that anyone cares at this late stage. It is predicting a win though:

 

Chelsea (4-1-4-1): Courtois; Moses, Azpilicueta, Terry (c), Aina; Fábregas; Willian, N. Chalobah, Hazard, Pedro; Solanke

Subs: Begovi?, Cahill, Davey, Houghton, Musonda, Kenedy, Ugbo

 

Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Chelsea (Solanke, Pedro)

 

Solanke, on just his second appearance in CB land, scores, as does Pedro to give us the points. Surprise starts as well for Terry, Aina and Nathaniel Chalobah. A youthful bench and Cahill are not needed to rescue this game as we edge Bournemouth. Please, may it be true. Come on! CFC!

We can't allow ourselves lose points, Spurs are following us. 

We are allowed 2 mess ups out of 8, please don't make today one of those chances gone lads! 

 

Come on Chelsea!

You're reasoning? We just beat city playing crap but we all draw against Bournemouth? The spuds aren't letting up they smashed Watford 4-0 we need to win and keep winning 

Just a gut feeling. Will feel more confident when and if Diego returns to his scoring form. 

Can't remember the last time we kept a clean sheet. We need that plus a win.

We need 18 points if Spurs can match our 13 wins in a row. 

Just hoping this makes folk feel better-  the chances of 2 sides having runs of that scale in the same season are very low. It's possible but unlikely. 

 

Spurs next matches not in any order 

Bournemouth

Leicester

Arsenal

West Ham

Man U

 

They are not winning all 5, i see at least 2 losses

my only  fear is the refs call a fair game,Chelsea has gotten the bottom of the litter refs this season

Honestly I'd say pull him off but the trouble is a striker like Diego only gets better by playing 

Spurs next matches not in any order 
Bournemouth

I see couple draw's too

The nerves are setting in! Can't afford to drop points, especially with Tottenham winning earlier today.

Last time we kept a clean sheet in the league was against Hull dating back to January 22.

I see 5 wins for them, and that is the attitude we need to take in today. No relaxing, all business and get the job done. 

 

Our usual team, good to see Moses back in there. I think we have missed him 

Shame Fabregas is back on the bench.

Fabregas got like 3 assists in this game last season. Shame to see him on the bench.

if we can get a lead by halftime with Febregas coming in fresh for 2nd half i like  chances putting away Bourne

I don't think this will be an easy 3 points, but I do feel like we will get a win here. No idea why I'm feeling optimistic as I normally predict us to lose every match.

I'm so sorry if I've jinxed this.

Vital to get 3 points

There was someone on here who was strangely optimistic about the Palace game, I hope this will not be a repeat of that.

Definitely wasn't me. I think we're going to lose every game when we're in first place.
