Would like to see the same centre back pairing for the Anfield game though.

Slavia Prague beat local city rivals Dukla Prague, 5-1 at the weekend.

Disagree. Should go with experience against Liverpool.

 

 

@robdog so our squad minus Rob Green. Good to see Bulka there.

I noticed that too - glad the club had Bulka tag along

I'm going to be very intrigued how Sarri lines up for this one with Liverpool away this weekend. I really expect for a bit of rotation but wouldn't be surprised if we only 3 or 4 maybe. Expect CHO to give way to Willian or Pedro, Giroud for Higuain, AC to get in for Rudi/Luiz - I imagine it will be Rudi who makes way. Barkley for RLC and Kovacic to see some game time for Jorginho. I think I would give Zappacosta a game here as well.

Let's just win this one boys, and go into Liverpool with some serious confidence.

I think Bulka is higher than Green in the pecking order, the latter just fills in for game days when the former has development games.

Are any Chelsea fans going to this game as most of the ground is shut down.

With Liverpool on Sun I would have left Luiz, Jorginho, Hazard, RLC at home & drafted in 4 players from our youth team. Sounds crazy but all season we have had too much for our opponents. I expect a straightforward win.

That's probably the most likely line-up, wonder what his subs will be though.

I would go:

Kepa, Alonso, Christensen, Rudiger, Zappacosta, Jorginho, Kovacic, Barkley, Husdon-Odoi, Giroud, Pedro

Kepa Dave Rudy AC Alonso

Kova Jorginho Barks 

pedro Giroud Willy 

thats the lineup !

So close

It's odd how this same lineup made me want to jump off a bridge just a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm thrilled to see it.

 

No Hudson-Odoi at all tonight then. So does that mean he is being saved for Liverpool? I hope so.

Thought Sarri handled the Drinkwater questions very well. Journos super keen for a "not good enough" soundbite and he kept it very respectful.

..and I hope Alonso is on the pitch only to give Emerson a rest for Pool game.
