It most likely will be

Kepa

Dave, Luiz, Rudi, Emerson

Kante, Jorginho, Barkley

Pedro, Higuain, Hazard

 

 

I think this is what we are going to see.  I like it as well

Looking forward to seeing how Higuaín links up with Hazard and Pedro it might just be something special.

Lets hope so. I am anticipating a tough game but we really need the 3 points to keep ahead of our rivals in the battle for 4th. I think Pedro and Hazard will start with Willian/CHO on the bench. Emerson will probably start over Alonso. A cold night in Bournemouth, although that doesn't quite have the ring of a rainy night in Stoke ;). Then again its balmy compared with Chicago where it is currently about -50F with the wind chill.

February is going to be a hard month, would really wish that this game and the next one we win, then whatever happens against mancity it will not be a big problem.

If Liverpool win tonight then Man City are really on the ropes when it comes to the league. It will be interesting to see whether they start prioritizing the Champs League in that situation. I think our biggest remaining league game may be United away. Especially if they keep up their progress under Solskjaer. Then again if Spurs continue their current wobble it may become a 4 way battle for 3rd/4th.

lol. He would love it I tell you!

[robdog]

I am surprised that that dude that was always giving Callum Wilson props hasn't posted here on this thread. Did that dud get banned?

[Ukraine Bolt]

Emerson starts!! Shame CHO isn't even in the squad.

Love your optimism but it’s wishful thinking. Almost certain CHO won’t be on the bench. Barkley, Alonso & Willian would most likely start, with a bench of Caballero, Christensen, Emerson, RLC, Kovacic, Pedro & Giroud.

Called it already; not on the bench.

Emerson starts

[Jezq8]

Would have liked to see CHO on the bench.

anyway I just hope we get 3 points here 

[luckywerthers]

looking at the table its a real must win, united and the goons up our back sides plus i fancy watford to get something against the spuds

[chiefBlueCFC]

no CHO at all? lol okay not following, maybe injured? Hopefully not but to not include him, i dont follow

[brownindian]

We need to win this and put some distance between us and Arseanal.

[ross91690]

Happy to see Emerson get a start! Still fail to see what Kovacic offers, other than a few tidy runs and flicks throughout the match. Hope RLC takes his spot once fully fit.

Slow process with sarri. Learned emerson is better at left back finally.

But no CHO so not exactly speaking the same thing about him not going.

Perhaps he's gotten a knock in training...

[Sexyfootball]

Amusing that Sarri drops all the goalscorers from our last match ... a bit of a head scratcher for me :-)

Not actually amusing of course, but laughter is apparently the best medicine ...

No CHO on bench. Really strange. Hopefully he is back in the fold on Saturday. On the other hand, no Callum Wilson for Bournemouth is a huge bonus for us.

[JM7]

Callum? Hudson-Odoi has been left out of the Chelsea's matchday squad to face Bournemouth as a punishment for handing in a transfer request. (Mail) 

CHELSEA are insistent Odoi will not be leaving the club before the clo?se of the window on Thursday and his omission at Bournemouth is a message to him to show the club greater respect. (Ma?il?)
