Can't wait for this one. I just find myself so excited for our games this season. Hopefully our boys can deliver!

Agree with you there mate.

I'd like to see James, Christensen, Tomori, Azpi, Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Mount, Odoi, Abraham.

If Kante's a risk then 343 with Azpi in the middle and Alonso on the left.

We are so short in the middle of the pitch at the moment, in numbers and height. Could do with an Obi Mikel on a night like this.

Did Obi Mikel ever head the ball? He must have but I never saw it and used to think what a waste of height. If Kante is fit then we are not short on midfielders.

If Kante fit then our best system is 433 

Dave, Zouma, Tomori, Alonso

 kante Jorginho kovacic

willian tammy mount  

if Kante is not fit then 523

Dave zouma christensen tomori alonso

jorginho kovacic

willian tammy mount

CHO and Pulisic on the bench along with barkely and james

If RJ is fit enough to start, I want him to start. Tomori, Mount, CHO and Abraham to start as well if they are all fit..

Not necessarily for just heading the ball, although we could do with that too, but we are a bit light physically across the park, particularly in midfield.

Huge game...hope to see pulisic and abraham come out well

Win shouldnt be too had though

Would like to see Pulisic and CHO starting on opposite wings with Tammy down the middle

Absolutley...and i think they would both do well if they did start

I am so hyped for this match!  I think we are going to win this match and Mason Mount to have a brilliant game!

News has it that Loftus may be back after the international break - I think we can expect him back end of October early November

Cant do worse than spuds that's for sure.

This was the last Ive seen -

May 22: "Probably he will be training with the group in five months, then he needs to be able to play at 100 per cent. I don't know exactly the timing but 4-6 months."

HAHA....anyone will be better than our London friends :):)

Anybody going to the game tonight? Need to find somewhere for a pre match beer ? 

Tammy’s first Champions League goal tonight guys & gals!

Confident on a win today but Champions League is a different ballgame, it takes some getting used to, so we might have another slow start like in the Valencia game. 

But I think we'll get the 3 points, but seriously I would rather we not rush Kante back in the situation, if he is 100% fit then of course, but I hope we aren't taking chances like in the Liverpool game and rushing him back early, I would rather we let him rest him up accordingly. 

Apparently, according to french sports media, Lille should put a huge performance tonight and win against us. Apparently we aint favourites for some reason... all good to me. Lets make it then a big suprise I guess ! Come on Chelsea ! 

3-1 win....sounds like a plan

Anyone agree?

I posted what I thought was the lineup but I didn't see that it was a "probable line up" [emoji22][emoji22]

 

 

Any streams? 

The team according to the CL-app. Start for Reece James in midfield is interesting.
