I expect United fans were saying "no f**king way we'll drop 3 points to West Brom" this time last week.

And Leicester owe us for their league win.

Keep the faith, brother.

Is Alonso banned for this? Honestly think it's time Emerson gets a chance anyway but I'm setting myself up for disappointment because the way this club works is to through Moses/Zappacosta in at LWB instead when we have a perfectly available player whose been waiting on the bench since January

Since Mathematically we are still in a shout for the 4th spot, expect Conte to play his best 11 in a match he's not that keen into 24 hours ago. In any case, I don't expect us to win this game. Burnley is the toughest team outside the 6, by current form probably better than us and Arsenal. We got away with it against Southhamtpon, don't think Burnely will give us that luxury if we have a slow start again.

It all depends on how our lads are mentally prepared. If everyone was really ready to fight for a win we should win this. Sadly I don't think that is the case.

Dont know why but i think we're going to win this one!

Emerson has been confirmed for this one btw

don't care who the team is but i doubt they will be up for it.

i will still watch it even though its a 1.30AM kick off here in Thailand

Hopefully we will get going before the 70th minute.Giroud to start and 2-1 Chelsea.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

I'd go:

Courtois

Rudiger
Christensen
Azpilicueta

Emerson
Drinkwater
Kante
Moses

Hazard
Morata
Willian

We have failed to beat this lot 3 times out of the last 4 games, and they tend to get all of the big decision's in their favour when they face us. Ashley Barnes not getting sent off for nearly causing 3 serious injuries to our players, Cahill and Fabregas being sent off at the start of the season, i think it's time for a little payback.

Sucks I'm going to miss the first half, got a calculus exam today. I'll be turning it on my phone as soon as I get out of class.

Burnley will absolutely paste us. They are becoming our bogey team, much like Newcastle used to be.

100%! 

Burnley will think they’re playing 9 men again if Cesc and Moses play ... please please please some one else, any one else!

I would like to see a bit of rotation, as I don't see Tottenham dropping enough points for us to catch them and I think we need to go for FA Cup full on. Obviously I wouldn't mind seeing a few of the youths get a look in. Maybe not a start but 30ish minutes. Who knows what Chelsea we will see today. 

No cesc or Moses or Baka please for the love of god

Don't expect any youth team players tonight, the U19 CL tournament kicks off tomorrow. The whole of the squad were rested for this the other night when we lost our home unbeaten record that stretched back 3 yrs.

Burnley have a good chance to reach the Europe League, even bigger than that, they can pass Arsenal!

This match going to be tough, but maybe our second half against Southampton will be replayed here as well. 

I just hope Emerson will play tonight, got a feeling that Zappacosta will be LWB and Moses at right. 

COME ON CHELS!!!!

so are you suggesting Chelsea tank this match so Burnley can surpass the gooners?  remember the gooners have a shot of qualifying for the UCL, but first they must get by Diego Costa & Atletico Madrid - I won't lie I will be watching & hopefully laughing at the gooners again - yes I am a hater

It’ll be a back three because Conte is Conte so for me;

                Tibo

     Dave Andreas Rudi

Zappa Kante Kante Emerson

    Willian Giroud Hazard

Yes I’m aware Kante is there twice. He’ll end up doing the job of whatever muppet is playing next to him. 

Looks like a 4-4-2 with Emerson as LM. Or Moses as RM 

Edited April 19, 20188 yr by DG19

Interesting lineup.

 

4-4-2 with Moses on one wing, Pedro the other?

Or the usual formation with Morata in the Hazard role?

No idea what formation that is.

A team chosen with Saturday’s semi final in mind.
