larky blue: Enjoy your day. Hope you see a Chelsea win.

This is the season defining game, anything other than a win we will be out of the top 4 realistically, let's hope Conte got his mind right, attack them, put them in their place, play 2 strikers if we have to, no more of the bull$sh*t false 9 or no striker system.

Morning Chelsea fans. It's match day! Lets hope for a different Chelsea today. No more false 9, no more 10 men behind the ball. Lets play like the Champions we're supposed to be! KTBFFH!

GAMEDAY!!! COME ON CHELS!!!

Looking forward to a nice day out with my grandson.Hoping for a good game and a win but we will have a good time whatever.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

Frankly I don't give a **** about this game. Top 4 is important etc... But when you have to play barça 4 days later and have a chance of going to UCL QF, well you'd better fckuing show up and go for it !!! I'd rather take a draw (loss will be revolting !!!) or a so so win against these cnuts and make it big vs barça in the hope of making a great upset rather than the other way around. Don't want to risk anything (injuries). and UCL should prevail over the PL when there's a clash in dates like that !!!Plus, PL is not anymore worth of anything for us unless tiring ourselves to hypothetical 4th place (blame the bournemouth and Watford games for that !!!) ! Whereas a 1-0 result against barça will get us through and make this season a 1000 times more exciting than it's been so far ... And even if we go out, we'd better only go out after having done a great match and fight so there would be no shame !! For that, I believe we need to rest our main men then against cp...

 

I am not saying PL should be discarded, but for that particular game, I'd rather see the kids in order to preserve everyone for the big one !!

ps : even a draw will be revolting against dross like cp!!! But a so so win without risking or playing to full potential, I don't really mind as long as we can go the distance in spain on tuesday.

Totally agree, infact I would say Leicester away in cup is more important than palace game. We are here to win trophies and an fa cup win to me is more important than a top 4 finish, does it really matter if we don't get in top 4, i know club want money, and we may find  it harder to attract star players, but hey we might find some players who don't get all sulky when things go wrong, champs league is a trophy we'll never win again, and if we are not in champs league we got much better chance of winning prem, if we are in europa use it as under 21 reserve game, use it like league cup. I've voted with my feet with these games, gave my palace tix away, would of done Barca, but work got in way, and I will be at Leicester next Sunday with the other 5k plus. I hope we win all 3 games but I got to say at present with this lot I can't see a win in any of them. Up the Chels

If Chelsea can't beat a Palace team at home missing 10+ players then they might as well give up on top 4 now.

I've given up already Ernie, and yes we can't beat Palace potentially. The worry I have with this game, is passion, desire, and character palace will bring it, will we?

I'm going to try and have a positive vibe today. Forget about the past few games, lets go and smash these game raising f**kers! UP THE BLUES!!!!

Today will be a dead cat bounce

This could be a very important game. If Liverpool lose at lunchtime and Spurs lose to Bournemouth tomorrow and if we win today, the gap will become narrower. We have to play both Liverpool and Spurs at the Bridge. Win both of those and we are back in the mix for top 4. In between we have Barca to face. It looks impossible to me but football can be a funny old game. Taking 3 points today is essential. I'd rest Alonso and Moses and bring in Zappacosta and Palmieri. No more false No 9's please. Let's hope we can win today or top 4 is out of the window. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

When we won the title last season we actually lost to Crystal Palace at home 2-1.  Let's hope it isn't a repeat of last season.

I'm in London but don't think I'll be able to get a ticket this late even though I'm a member. Can I assume there will be plenty of pubs showing the match around the bridge? Thanks.

Anything less than 3 points is unacceptable.

As silly as this sounds, failing to beat Palace would break our premier league season.

Not that I want to encourage the scumbags but you could always get one off a tout. If you can lower yourself that low of course.

Said it before and I'll say it again. Don't care about the result in this game, because I think top 4 is unlikely at this point. I just want the players to go out there and give us a f**king good performance! Go out there like we are the current Champions and punish those South London pretenders like the second rate club that they are! Put in a performance anything like we did against City and I'll be fuming!

Your not serious. We have a big task to get top 4 but by no means impossible. We still have Spurs and Liverpool to play. Liverpool, to our advantage lost today so if we win, we close the gap to 4 points and we still have them to play at home. They still have to go to Everton and Palace which will be tough and hopefully they slip up in others. Spurs, we still have to play and they still have the likes of City to play. All to play for but must win game today.

We need a good win and to get some confidence back before Wednesday night.

We won't need to worry about top 4 if we win the Champions League guys. ¯\_(?)_/¯

Rudiger left out of the squad? Is he injured or just a rest before Barcelona?

Good to see Bakayoko on the bench, maybe he will come back better for us, also Ampadu.

Disappointed to see Callum Hodson out as well. Anyways, COME ON CHELS!!

 Really like today’s lineup. I’m hoping Rudiger is just being rested. 

Good line up

Did you like Black Panther? I saw it the other day, I thought it was good but not one of my favourite Marvel movies tbh.

Also, does this mean Emerson is starting against Barca?
Because 100% for that.

Good line up. Would have played palmeiri instead of alonso though.

A STRIKER. Lads, we have a STRIKER ON THE PITCH
