United fans really not happy with their lineup. I'm really worried about Alonso & Kova starting. It's practically the same team that went sh*t and stale many months ago.

Thats the right line up, apart from Alonso

Win today and that should be top 4 done and dusted. United are sh*te.

Come on Chelsea, get the f**king job done.

I would've played RLC & Pedro personally but I can't fault that lineup.

Bloody hell mate, let's have less of that!

Have Liverpool fans taught us nothing about hubris?

Considering we have 0 points, 1 goal scored, 13? conceded against the top 6 away from home this season... I'm not all that convinced we'll get what we need.

Alonso starting, not good, not good.

 

I'm sh*tting myself. Cant tell which way this will go. We need to score early and bring the mood down in there.

alonso does very occasionally score good goals, lets hope he does one today

we've been so poor away to top-6 that even a draw here would be progress

keeping my expectations suitably low.....

Surprised to see Alonso replace Emerson. Thought Emerson was good in the air just turned a bit easily on the edge of our box at times. Clearly more mobile too.

Not disappointed with RLC being on the bench as he gives us an option from the bench if we need one.

Oh same here, we are garbage, the only reason we are in this position is that remarkably everyone else has been bottling it. 

I'll be very surprised if we beat United, I'd bite your hand off for a point at Old Trafford. 

You just see united winning over a poor Chelsea  and the media love fest returning about Ole. I have no faith in an away win against a top 6 team. 

I hope that I am wrong.

Don’t think we would rest anyone that would help us beat Utd at this point in the season, especially with a decent rest in between 

well Ruben has to be rested because of his back

Giroud for his change 

and pedro for his energy.. I guess i should have said rotated instead of rested

Looks like Ole is going to play a 4-3-3 to mirror us.

Alonso... Emerson isn't in bench, maybe a little problem 

Well Alonso better show up today although I can see Utd attacking Dave more so than Alonso, however he will leave a ton of space behind him which is worrisome with the pace of Rashford and Martial....need a win but a draw will be better than nothing....top 4 will be down to the last games of us Arsenal and Utd, Spurs should get over the line before the last game I think. 

I think we need an exceptional game from Hazard today if we are to win, and he is up against Young so... 

Very aggressive line up from United and a very defensive one from us. Think Sarri is aiming for a draw.

lets hope they play as bad as us then...with the bad press on Utd and their big players they have to put in a big performance today....if we get swamped early on and cave it could be bad day all round.

You haven't seen United's record at home against bigger sides have you. Equally as awul. This could go either way

That is a risk as they have good forward players yet if we score first then....................

Actually I mis-read that think they are playing 4-4-2.

Alonso, Kovacic & Higuaín starting, absolute nightmare. I can’t see us getting a point here but I hope I’m wrong. If we do, it’ll take a Hazard special for us to win today. 

Actually woke up from a long, disturbed sleep of many dreams while being unwell last night and saw the final score board saying 1-1. 

Will see if that was just odd dreams or not soon 

Did Emerson kick Don Maurizio's dog or something? Not even the 18. 

I would take a draw, would love a win, but I'm not confident of getting either......but United fans are probably feeling the same way.
