I agree. I'd like to see a bit more rotation than usual with City looming. I don't think Hazard AND Pedro start. But either way, I wouldn't expect to see either of them for 90.

I'd bring Hazard in from the bench, Start RLC and Emerson, and probably Cesc.

 

Gaffers pre match presser
 

 

I think Ruben is going to start this one. He's done very well to impress Sarri over the past few weeks. - I'm getting the impression that Sarri rates him very very highly.

Like the way he handles the press conferences, calm and professional. The only question I noticed he dodged was Pusilic due to him not being a Chelsea player which seemed the right thing to do. 

Potential banana skin, they are no mugs and seem to give big teams trouble.

I would go with 

kepa 

azbi rudiger luiz Emerson 

kante jorginho rbc 

willian morata hazard 

subs caballero, Christensen, Alonso, kovacic, Pedro , giroud, Fabregas 

 

The only way to win is starting with Pedro and going to score fast early on, that's how I see it.

Kepa

 

Azpi

Rudiger 

Ampadu

Emerson

 

Cesc

Kante

RLC

 

CHO

Morata

Hazard

 

Kill them early then sub off Hazard.

A game before our big game against City.

The most important thing is not to lose hope about the title, winning here and winning City can change the situation.

I agree that we have to make some rotation, but we need our top players back to score. Lately, we have some players that losing their form Luiz, Alonso, Willian. Three of them are potential starters against City, I believe 3 of them must be used against Wolves, doesn't matter if they play as starters or coming from the bench.

I'd like to see this starting lineup:

-------------- Kepa -------------

Azpilicueta - Rudiger - Luiz - Emerson

------------- Kante -------------

---- Barkley ---- Loftus-Cheek ----

Pedro ------- Giroud ------ Hazard

 

Wolves might be in poor form, but they still have a quality team that can surprise us as they did to City. We must be ready and play our best football to test ourselves perfectly against City.

COME ON CHELS!!!!!

agree with that line up but would start Pedro instead of Willian but maybe he will be rested for City, maybe bring Cesc on early to for Jorginho if things are going well.

Alonso needs a rest for sure.

Tricky game either way but looking forward to the trip there.

Game Day.

Come on Chelsea !

Match day.....COME ON YOU BLUES !

Adama Traore vs Alonso is a huge worry if they both start.

Just like it was every other time Traore played against Alonso.  Little f**ker scored nearly all of his goals against us down that side.

He's only faced us one time before if i am not mistaken.

But he can really kill Marcos with his pace tonight. He's lightning.

So were SWP and Gronkjaer

3 points is a must as we can expect the Spuds to beat the Saints and at least expect Arsenal to grab a point at Utd and of course Loverpool will turn over Burnley without much of a sweat. 

GAMEDAY!! COME ON CHELS!!!

Leaving work early to make the drive up to Wolves. Hoping to see Hazard start and RLC. Kill the game off in the 1st half. Don't want to see us labour to half time then add the pressure of raising it in the 2nd half. Just get the job done please lads! 

Would love to see us score with ease. Got to get some beers to calm the nerves =) 

Any idea of away pubs? Last time I went wolves 7 or 8 years ago there was nothing if I remember rightly.

Here in the US, the game is only available on subscription with NBC Sports Gold. Are there likely to be any free streams?

I hope we beat our opponents, go team.
