I would expect:

Courtois, Alonso, Rudiger, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Moses, Bakayoko, Kante, Fabregas, Hazard, Giroud

If this isn’t the team I’ll eat a Stamford Bridge hotdog (aka bit of rubber between some cardboard). 

Like to see Giroud and Morata start...might give the Liverpool defence something think about

Knowing how we usually sets up against top teams I’m going with:             

 

                 Courtois  

Zappa azpi Cahill rudiger Alonso 

               Luiz      Kante 

                      Bakayoko 

          Moses              Emerson 

Team 100% as expected.

No Morata even on the bench though.

Tell me how it tastes.

Wjinaldum-milner-alexander arnold. 

Thats the mid of pool. We should be thrashing them.

Glad to see Giroud start. Not so much Bakajoko 

Nothing special, expected lineup. Not sure Emerson deserves to be dropped, but Alonso has been good this season, so I guess it would be right.

We have no striker on the bench, can someone explain where is CHO?

Anyways, we should grab 3 points here, we must fight until the end! COME ON CHELS!!!

What a beautiful day.Cant see top four myself but lets have a go.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

Why baka drinkwater can do a good job 

 

Not expecting anything good, tbh. We have to win it to stay in the race, but I just don't have any confidence in the current team. Hope I'm wrong.

God I'll be glad to see the back of Conte.

The wife decides to go into labour this morning, so I'm not sure much of this I'm going to watch. 

We haven't won many games against good sides this year. 

Against top 6 plus roma, barca, and Atlético, our record is poor. 3 wins in 15 games.

Wtf no chritensen 

That's Cahill against firmino and salah boooooy that's gonna hurt

 

liverpool seem to have too much urgency in midfield compared to ours. kante won't be able to do everything on his own. bakayoko and fabregas will likely watch the game pass them by. i would like to be proven wrong though.

He's giving Cahill a chance to play his way into the England squad for the World Cup and he's arguably been better than Christensen over the past few months. Seems fair to me.

Don't see this ending well...f**king Cahill, how the f**k does he get in over Christensen, guaranteed Liverpool will target Cahill and our weakness in the middle; I suspect it's all to do with a WC place....Willian on the bench WTF; Moses has been pants most of the season.....Conte clearly wants to leave on a sour note...

But that is the team, I’m safe this time...

No idea why he persists with a 3-5-2 formation, can’t remember a standout performance. Watched the Ladies FA cup final v Arsenal & our ladies used this formation brilliantly. For a 3-5-2 to work, you need someone in midfield linking up play with your two forward players. One of your forward players must also be willing to run at the opposition’s defence, and also run behind them. Ji was linking up brilliantly, Kirby was running at & behind the opposition and the other girl who scored 2 goals can’t remember her name was brilliant with her movement. 

Fingers crossed we somehow get 3pts.

Congrats on the new arrival....you might be better off coaching your missus rather than shouting at the TV given the team Conte has selected

This 3-5-2 is so negative. Could Conte not see how poor we were against Swansea? We should be targeting Liverpool's fullbacks by using two wingers. Bloody annoying. No Morata on the bench is concerning too as I don't see Giroud being effective for the whole game.

Well, Thrusday nights aren't that bad for football tbh ...
