Bournemouth Vs Chelsea (PL) Sat 28 Oct 2017 KO 17:30 GMT

Oh i do like to be beside.........................

Hope we show our best selves and get them 3 points and keep a clean sheet for the first time in a while.It's really important that we build momentum before the utd and liv games.

Those will determine how much of a chance of being a threat to city we have.

They won last this weekend but have been pretty hopeless otherwise. Though so have palace been and we remain the only side they have taken points against...so...

A difficult game. However,I reckon if we go with the right attitude and start at the tempo that suits us. We should win.

I think it will be the bare knuckle ride if we just have Fab in a middle two, hopefully we get others back.

Bournemouth are an improving side and are a hard nut to crack at home. I get the impression they've become a bit more defensively savvy than last season when they were a bit gung-ho, especially at home. Ake is easily their best central defender. They've got Middlesbrough at home tonight in the EFL Cup, so it will be interesting to see how seriously Howe takes this competition, and what type of team he puts out.

The win is binding, otherwise we can say goodbye to the two first place. 

TBO

Christensen - Luiz - Rudiger

Zappa - Dave

Fabregas-Baka

Pedro - Morata - Eden

It's better to let Alonso and Cahill in the bench, the left side is a horror at this time. Dave will play on the left wing with Rudiger in his back.

Apparently the players are texting Steve Holland complaining abt conte.. what on earth is going on .. I can't stand another sacking 

how the hell would any body know this even if it is true

Why panic when you don't even know whether this is true? 

I suspect this is journos with creative license or stirring the pot to try and make a story out of nothing.

I expect a win from us. 

Looking forward to this. Hopefully, by then we have rested Fabregas, Luiz, Pedro, Hazard, Morata & Alonso.

Drinkwater has been training with the first team apparently, so hopefully, we can give him a start. I would like to see him in the midfield with Baka, it's seriously time to sit Fabregas out of a game like this until we can bring him in the second half. If it's the Bournemouth of last season (I haven't watched much of them this season) then I know they're very good at outplaying the majority of PL sides. So we will need legs in the midfield, Fabregas starting is just going to be like the majority of games he's started in, one man midfield. 

At least this time our opposition will have played midweek all be it with one more day preparation.

Referee: Craig Pawson

f**king unbelievable

For the love of God please keep a clean sheet.

Tibo 

Dave Christensen Cahill

Zappa Baka SSB Alonso

Pedro Morata Hazard 

Cesc and Drinkwater to come on later on...

For the love of God please keep a clean sheet.

We are not doing that well. I'd say "hope for a win"

Chelsea  vs bournemouth in carling cup not bad...  we are at home

And of course Man u vs bristol  they rigged that sh*t

Good draw, now Utd need to beat Bristol and you just know Mourinho is going to make changes............ his team probably won't be motivatedas much as Bristol, it could be a banana skin whereas at least with Bournemouth we know a good performance or we go out.
