For crying out loud, if we don't make amends after that cataclysmic disaster against Palace, god knows what we'll deserve should we lose against the second worst team in the PL.

Can't fathom we're down in 4th position. If we can't win convincingly, then I will suspect there is dissension in the ranks. Frankly, I'm tired of this manager revolving door business. 

I think today we will probably outscore them.

I think with the makeshift midfield we could easily concede yet should play to score more than 1.

Be another dodgy one, 2-1 maybe, hazard morata

I hope Cesc doesn't start this week. Drinkwater should be able to stomach 60-70min of play if we play our cards right. 

At the moment, most of our midfield is recovering from injuries but I feel that Cesc needs a rest. He's been playing almost every game now and for someone whose game doesn't center around energy and stamina, he's been playing far too much. If he must play then put him in a 3 or else we run the risk of being overrun by Bournemouth

Match day,i think it will be close.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

3pts is an absolute must if we're to mount any serious challenge for the title this year....wouldn't surprise me in the least though if Ake scored against...I think we should win although I don't think we're gonna make it comfortable for ourselves...has per usual

don't know why but loss to CP cant get outta head, Palace shutout by every team but us, United next week and City look Vulnerable  today

 

Should be  1 game out of 2nd place in league table

This match will depend on the team Conte puts out. If Baka and Cesc play in midfield I reckon we will come under the cosh. It as easy last season here but this season could prove to be a different kettle of fish. Let's hope we get all 3 points. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Drinkwater needs to start.

Doubt he will, only just back from injury

But he was taken off at the 60th minute mark, making me think Conte plans to use him.
I can't take another Fabregas Bakayoko partnership starting.

I'd stick Luiz in there if Drinkwater is not fit enough, Christensen at CB.

Drinkwater will make some sort of appreance 

Same starting elven as I predicted:)

Definitely, but we don’t really have any choice. Hopefully this is the last game we see this.

 Hopefully.

Very happy to see Rudiger start, but that midfield two worries me. I think this will be tough because we know they will be pressing us high, and we have shown that we can't handle it, no matter who we go up against.

We can't keep a clean sheet these days....2-3 to the Blues; but it might be a nail biter...

Zapa to replace knackered Moses

Cesc to create a black hole in absence of Kante'

no Cahill no Willian ..probably a win of 3/1 predicted

 

We need to win this after.

arsenal, Liverpool, city and united won.

we have to start closing the gap and go on a bit of a run. 

That palace game still hurts. Bottom of the league and we couldn’t win.

 

sadly I’m not feeling too good about this today hope I’m wrong 

3-0 to chelsea

im surprised you guys feel negative i feel really positive about the team after the last games
