I think that Fabregas need some time of rest, he plays lot of games recently

He got his rest against liverpool. The only player who hasnt gotten a day off is Kante.. Conte must have balls of steel to rest the monster among men

Yeah, I wouldn't rest Kante against West Ham yet I might against Bournemouth.

Potential banana skin this.

west ham didn’t look bad against city, and this is a London derby so anything is possible.

morata has to put his chances away!! Especially the sitters 

i would go with 

courtois 

azbi christensen Rudiger 

moses drinkwater Kante Fabregas Alonso 

morata hazard

subs: Willy, bakayoko, Cahill, Pedro, zappacosta, Willian, Batman 

 

Chelsea get 3 points with a 3-1 win Morata 2 and Eden

Only position in contention is Cahill/Rudiger.

 

Rudiger did not play in the week and was very good against Newcastle so think it will be the case of Rudiger coming back in for Cahill.

Another derby and I hope not another Palace result!

We need a win and we need United to win (can't believe I'm saying that!).

Speak of the rest... what about Morata? Batman was injured lately and he also played almost every possible minute. I don't deny the possibility to see Pedro or Willian incorporated and Eden false 9... you remember this goal? 

They are always slow and exposed. I believe speed is the biggest problem of this mediocre team. Don't wanna see Alvaro wasting chances with his feet.

Stop compare the Crystal Palace game with this of West Ham. The situations are completely different. Against Palace with play with Fabregas and Baka in the middle at 2, and it was the worst mistake of the season. But now it's different we play with 3 middle, we are on 7 games defeatless in row, so of course we can lost a game, that happen in the football, but we are vastly favorites.

Yes, but he plays Swansea, Newcastle and Atletico in a row, I don't know if he goes keep up like that at this level with as many game

I just feel like we have to protect Kante. He is very important to us. We lost to crystal palace without him, and he was missing in both games against Roma whic is a big reason we finished second

If the players give 100%, we can do it.

Derby, that sour Everton-coach and a must win scenario sets us up for a tough afternoon.

Another factor in our favour for this one is that the players after conceding the lead against AM will want more than usual to bury the opposition.

I just wish one day we start all out offensive and chasing the game at kick off when its still 0-0.  It really annoys me how (against Liverpool and Athletico) we went a goal down, then started chasing the game and put Willian Pedro on and played 3-4-3.  In this case we outplayed opponents and got equalizers.  So why the hell do we not start with such a line up and blitz teams from kick off.  I honestly just don't get it!  I would go with the following line up but i know this wont happen, we will craw back to our 3-5-2 without both Willian and Pedro, really annoys!

                       Tibo

      Azpi      Christensen   Rudiger  

 Moses         Kante    Drinkwater       Pedro

       Willian        Morata     Hazard

I hope we win comfortably 

Don't think Cesc needs a rest since he's playing in a midfield 3 with Kante, he was pretty knackered when he had to play 2 men midfield without Kante. No easy match these days, any teams in the relegation zone could have their day, but I'm fairly confident with 3 points as we have been on a good run, and to be honest we should have been winning by a lot more recently with the way we played.

Conte just said in his press conference that DrinkVodka is sick and will be missing the game. I hope baka has a Dominating game to shut the haters up. At his age Frank Lampard just joimed chelsea and was being called Fat Frank. Give the lad time he has a lot of room for improvement and has the best coach to help him

I was impressed with West Ham against CITEH. They defended well and only two slips of concentration let them down. We must hope Man Utd beat CITEH and we take all 3 points against West Ham. It's not going to be easy. Let's hope we can do it. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Oh No !!! That spells trouble.

Good game, well played. We totally depend on Danny and Baka in means whole bunch of problems. We don't win this one. 

Unfortunate that Drinkwater's out, as I assume he'd be a definite starter after sitting out midweek.

Think this could be a dangerous game to rest key players, or lose the 3-man midfield, so I suspect it'll be a similar lineup to Wednesday barring Alonso's return and possibly a start for Rudiger.

Same situation as most weeks, 3 points needed and well achievable if we're at the races, but a dangerous opponents just as desperate for points. Hopefully Hazard continues his magnificent form.

If Joe Hart plays then I sense a positive result, but form goes out the window as they wil be UP for it

If Adrian starts could be one of those heroic goaly matches where nothing goes in, shame about Drinky, need Baka to perform not let the side down again

 

I hope we can stop that w**ker Chicharito from scoring. He always seems to score against us. 

 

I'm never confident going into such games, but it's a good opportunity to put pressure on the manc clubs. Hope we win

Please Antonio rest Kanté !

is morata injured?
