No Point starting Hazard. He will be an impact sub against tired players

Nuh, that team is not correct, Azpiluceuta goes in the back 3 and Konsielny in for Cahill.  Then put in Belerin at right wing back.  I think Hazard should start tomorrow.  Conte saying he's almost at full match fitness.  I think Eden will give Morata some freedom and we'll beat them easily.  Moses is tried and tested but I would prefer Zappacosta to start cause his crosses look good and with Morata's headers -a goal will come from that combination.  I would like Bakayoko to start with Kante.  I want Chelsea to really dominate the mid!  I see a comfortable 2-0 for us.  It may end 2-1 like the Leicester game but still we win.  They have a good attack in Sanchez Lacazete and Ozil.  We need Bakayoko and Kante to make sure these forwards are frustrated and don't get meaningful supply

Gaffer's Pre-match press conference

A must win for me, purely because I think all of the top 5 other teams will beat Arsenal at home. Going through the Chelsea/Arsenal combined eleven recently, regardless of formation, its very hard to put more than one Arsenal player in the combined eleven in Sanchez.

I think this could be the game for Bakayoko to dominate in, Arsenal tend to struggle with pace and power and I think he could have a really good day powering through this Arsenal team.

Courtois , Apzi, Luiz, Rudiger, Alonso, Bakayoko, Kante, Fabregas,Moses, Willian, Morata . 

Hazard and Pedro as great options from the bench.

 

Lets hope the boys can keep the momentum going and blow these c**ts away they need a damn good whipping after the defeats in the FA/CS games 

KTBFFH!!!

Just watched the Premier League match pack, we should do them confidently.

They barely got a win against Leicester, lost to Stoke, destroyed by Liverpool, Bournemouth are a dead team, struggled against Cologne.

Not too worried about Conte's record against them. When we lost 3-0 to them at the Emirates we changed the system up and went on a 13 game win streak so it's a completely different climate compared to what it was then. Smashed them at the Bridge in Feb. FA Cup final was a bad loss but they had everything to play for whereas we had just won the league. Who gives a toss about the CS, let's be real.

Back to back 6-0s?

Yes all good.

Tomorrow will be a game tough but hopefully get out with a win, Arsenal played thursday night with especially good players of their teams as Bellerin, Sanchez. I think Arsenal will try to found a good resultat and return with one good point. So we will owe take the game seriously and to show everyone that we are stronger.

I think, Conte will play with 3 midfielder (Kante, Baka, Fabregas), and in forward with Morata, Hazard !

I'd go with:

Tibo

Dave SSB Rudiger

Moses Bakayoko Kante Alonso

Willian Morata Pedro

If Conte thinks Hazard is fully fit, I'd put Pedro on  Willian's place.

The bench doesn't look too bad: Caballero, Christensen, Cahill, Zappacosta, Fab, Hazard (Willian), Bats!

 

Unlike when people sign for some clubs and trot out whatever the PR guy tells them (guess who I'm thinking of!) when you read an interview like this it tells you something about the player and our manager. With this kind of feeling in the squad I'm hoping we can have a hugely successful season.

Arsenal tomorrow? - never felt more up for it. Come on Chelsea!

Spurs and Liverpool drew today. Good chance to take advantage and go six clear of arsenal. Hopefully conte can put the Wenger hoodoo behind him.

I am excited for tomorrow and the game will be electric.  Arsenal will really fight but we are still gona beat them well (Please give us another 3-0 you boyz in blue).  People picking pedro ahead of Willian, I think the two are marginal right now but I think Willian has an edge at the moment.  I think he can match Kolasanic physically and would be the better option ahead of Pedro.  Pedro's instinctive goals are a bonus but I think since Chelsea are likely to win the midfield battles with Kante and Bakayoko, i would like for Willian to start cause he has better hold up play and will assist Morata much better.  My preferred line up is this

                        Courtois

         Azpi           Luiz           Rudiger

Zapacosta       Kante   Timoue         Alonso

          Wiri           Morata        Hazard!

I would pick Zapa ahead of Moses cause he has better crosses and I just see at least one of them being put home by Alvaro!   I really can't wait for this game.  Have cancelled my Sunday league football - no way I am missing this match!

City are blowing teams away, they look dangerous we need to keep pace here, Chelsea seem to do best as front runners, if we win tomorrow there will be a clear top 3 and we will be 4 points clear of the spuds and only a point behind top spot, with UTD not playing a top 5 team until mid October by which time we will have played 3. 

Key game and we should have no trouble we are a better team and at home, early goal and they will crumble. 

I think this is wrong.  I am so confident of a win.  Overconfident in fact and I'ts wrong!  I just cannot see how Arsenal can match us in Midfield.  With Ngolo, Bakayoko - we can add Cesc in front of them and i just cannot see how they can beat us!  I am just glad I am not one of the players - cause obviously being over confident as a player will attract negative performances.  BUT I BLAME CHELSEA!!  THEY ARE SPOILING US WITH EXCELLENT SHOWS, ENTERTAINMENT AND RESULTS!

Please keep the spoils coming!  Lets really spank these feckers!

A little over 10 hours from kick off and I am buzzing. I am ready. This is a key early game. I have confidence in Conte and the squad. I believe Conte will get the XI spot on.

I do not think Conte will bench Moses for this one, he has earned his starting spot the past 12 months. But I do think you will see Zappacosta late. I am not sure Drinkwater gets on the pitch just yet. Is he still dealing with the calf injury?

I think Conte will start with Kante and Cesc in midfield, with Bakayojo coming in late with a lead. I just cannot see us only going with two up top, your pick of Hazard-Willian-Pedro plus Morata. I have to believe it with be two of the three Hazard-Willian-Pedro and Morata.

I am ready for this one!!

Come on you Chelsea!!

After two silly defeats at Wembley, it is about time we reinforced our strength at the Bridge. We're a full squad, so depth is not an issue. Arse are actually in quite poor form at the moment and I do hope they don't play like a bunch of twats but instead just merely surrender to a better team and try their luck elsewheres.

Match day.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

Rise and shine lads and ladesses. Today we go to war, come on you blues. 

Big game,  nervous already. Sanchez looks like he's on fre at the moment which is a bummer. I'm happy so far with our Summer signings. They all seem to be performing well although  another couple of players wouldn't have gone amiss and I'm sure Conte knows this too. Anyone's game today and I'm not going to make a prediction. We need to play out of our skins . Let's hope we do and get all three points. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!
