[erskblue]

I think Conte will pick a strong side to keep the momentum going towards the FA Cup Final the following Saturday.

4-0 Chelsea.

If we play a reserve team in this game our first team will be rusty as f**k going into the Cup final. Full first team please.

Exactly this. Can leave hazard out for cesc or willian otherwise main team for me. Be different if we were not in the final and we don't want our season ending on a sour note. 

[TheChelseaBlues]

After the near meltdown against Watford I expect Conte will play a full strength side barring maybe Hazard for this. Between getting the wins record and going into the FA Cup on a high note it's enough to keep us essentially playing our 1st choice team. JT and a couple of younger players will come on once it's wrapped up I assume. 

[Bobbywoodhogan]

Surely this is live on Sky right?

[doctorblue]

Wouldn't be surprised if Sky go for the Arsenal, Liverpool and City games live as that this is only unresolved interest left in the league...they should show our game out of respect to the Champions and their fans...

[Richard P]

Can't believe our game is not on sky!! I'm going and will enjoy, but to not show the game where we get the Trophy is unbelievable.  when was the last team Winning the league not shown?

[Bobbywoodhogan]

It's not on? That is a f**king disgrace, the title winners trophy lift is always on television.

Anyone know the email address for Sky Sports? We should al bombard them with emails complaining.

I think something similar happened in our last title winning season. Newcastle's game where they had to stay up was on but when it was over and the celebrations were going on at the Bridge they switched to us so they could broadcast us lifting the title. Expect something similar this time

 

now I'm seeing that not a single fixture is being broadcast live, baffling

Liverpool, many city and arsenal are live. But post game Chelsea will be on as coverage is based at Stamford bridge. So everyone can see the lifting if the cup.

Plus Sky Sports viewers in Republic of Ireland will be able to see champions Chelsea conclude their league season against Sunderland, before John Terry and Gary Cahill lift the Premier League trophy.

All Sky Sports viewers will be able to see the trophy presentation as we base our coverage at Stamford Bridge on the day

Yeah they showed Newcastle vs West Ham and Hull vs United because one of the 2 would have been relegated. 3 teams are already relegated this time, so I'd expect them to show Liverpool vs Boro and Arsenal vs Everton.

would love to see more youngsters but think Conte will start a full strength squad.. might see Chalobah, Ake and Bats in the squad and maybe starting and RLC might be in if fit but reckon may be full squad.

 

Courtois, Azpi, Ake, Luiz, Cahill, Alonso, Matic Chalobah, Willian, Pedro, Bats

 

Costa, Fab, Terry to come on but to be fair may see Kante in midfield somewhere

 

[BlueAardvarkrule]

I'm expecting the full side to start this match and am expecting total carnage!!

Costa will definitely start as he was fully rested against Watford. He is not going to be on the bench for 2 games in a row. Fabregas most likely too. Chalobah was very good against Watford but I expect to see a virtually full strength team bar couple rotations. Maybe Hazard comes out for Pedro.

Not always , Arsenal in the invincible season got overlooked for United on the last game as did United themselves the year before for THAT Chelsea vs Liverpool game and the relegation showdown between Bolton and West Ham.

[Blue Exile]

I thought City had clinched CL footy....seems not. We would have been shown otherwise.

i don't think it's an anti Chelsea thing, Sky just want to show games where the results have an impact on the season.

I'll be watching NBC anyway.

But we're they the trophy lift games, I'm not talking the final game just the games where the trophy was lifted.

[Jezq8]

I can see a stronger line up to one starting against Boro. 

Courtois

azbi Luiz Cahill

Moses Kante Matic Alonso

Pedro Costa Hazard

 

[erskblue]

A celebration of the 2016/17 season, of how far we have progressed under Antonio.

And a celebration of John Terry Chelsea Legend.

Yes they were. Arsenal lifted in on the final game vs Leicester at home while United lifted it at Goodison.

Oh right and those games weren't televised. Shows how sh*t my memory is haha damn shame though.

[DonAntonio]

With a week inbeteeen  no reason not to play the full squad, however he may not give them 90 mins, so you could see the squad start and get subbed or 3 main players rested and brought on but I doubt he will give the first team 90 mins, especially hazard

It't irritating but ultimately it's all about the trophy Sunday. The title lifting game vs Sunderland was televised two years and i spent most of the second half in the bog of smoking outside to make sure i didn't need to go anywhere when the party started!!

Haha fair enough. Just would have been brill to watch the game itself and enjoy the moment when the full time whistle went etc.
