What a start to the day!!!!!!!!!!! Arsenal lost. We better beat Newcastle. Please stop playing cat and mouse with Arsenal. Chance to go 6 points clear with a better GD. Do not let down!

[dynamite 225]

Great result with arsenal losing, now we have the chance to move 6 points clear. Nothing but a win will do, no excuses. 

COME ON CHELSEA!!!

A highly anticipated team selection, can't wait to see if we have learned anything from the goal famine, will Sarri up the ante ?

[evissy 3,745]

Hoping CHO starts. 

[MANoWAR 569]

 

 

  Won't happen but Newcastle are generally horrible offensively and quite poor defensively -- but they'll set up for a point. 

Hazard in the middle with CHO on the left and Pedro on the right would be nice (and Giroud up top) 

[atomis 673]

We will win.....Eden will either score or make an assist.....3pts are ours.

[Skinnedy 435]

I predict we're back to default. 

Kepa

Azpi, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso

Kante, Jorginho,  Kovacic 

Pedro, Hazard, Willian

 

[evissy 3,745]

I don't think this will be easy. Newcastle is an annoying opponent.

No Hudson Odoi and Hazard in false 9 again... Did we not watch the Leicester game and anticipate that Newcastle would sit even deeper than what they did? I just don't understand the logic

[ForeverCarefree 22,904]

And that starting line up is the exact reason we’ll probably lose CHO to Bayern. 

[enigma 5,623]

That bench is young. Two 18 year olds, a 21 year old.

were going to try and tempt them out to play 

[DukesOfHazard 44]

Don't understand what this kid has to do! Really promising game against a much tougher opponent but nope back to the bench. Great message to give him!

The false 9 nonsense is another thing but not playing Callum after his last two performances is just unforgivable imo

[charierre 4,964]

Probably confirms CHO is on the way, no way should he be behind two underperforming players for a starting spot.

[evissy 3,745]

No Hudson....

This is my surprised face

[enigma 5,623]

Newcastle will sit deep, not allow us to attack. Hit us on the counter. Probably the reason Callum isn't playing. He's good when he has space, when he doesn't, he won't be effective and defensively we need Willian and Pedro in there. Willian will be needed to support Alonso defensively must be the thinking. 

[SimonH 147]

No Morata? Still injured or on the move? In hoping for the latter.
