But I thought what happened 3 months ago doesn't count now?

We only won last game after the subs were made. Keep that in mind as well now.

The only way this lineup would even make the slightest bit of sense if we were going full Pulis ball, which in itself will be a worry because it shows Lampard is compromising on his principles (which was when it started going really wrong under AVB).

Guess we will have to wait and see, it wouldnt have been my choice either, but theres been a few times this season i didnt like the line up,  and we went on and won comfortably. 

Just hoping its another one of those! 

need points with united  looking good behind us in 5th..  man city will be tough I would settle for a draw I am predicting 1-1.

Yeah when he was a better player and playing in a system that suits him better than this one.

I’m not filled with confidence looking at this line up. 
 

We have a good bench which is the positive here, I would have been tempted to go 5 at the back but you run the risk of getting overrun in midfield.

I’m not seeing how we are able to stop them scorning. I would have liked to see Jorginho or gilmour sitting in front of the defence with kante and Barkley/mount forward of the 3. 

We are going to get overrun with the press we need a gilmour or Jorginho to help us pass out of the press and move it on,  I’d actually take gilmour he is cooler on the ball, great composure, where as Jorginho looks vulnerable when you don’t give him time on the ball. 

City know they have to win tonight to keep the title open, although their challenge was realistically over long before the Covid-19 break. I reckon they will still try to keep things going as long as possible though. I'm sure they would rather Liverpool won the title in the games after their clash with them next week. With that in mind I think City will probably gamble for the win tonight. They have nothing to gain from a draw. If we can score first that might work in our favour, as they will have to chase the game. However we will need to defend well tonight. Certainly much better than we did against Villa.

Glad To See Pulisic Start After His Little Cameo Against Villa, Little Bit Surprised Barkley Gets The Nod Over Kovacic But He's Played Well His Last Few Games, We Just Need To Keep It Tidy The First 30Minutes Then Express Ourselves A Bit More After

Nervous.

Cmon Chelsea !!!

There you go. The fanwall is with Liverpool fans. I still hope we win it. I don't care about the title. It is happening at some point.

Giroud ffs, wakeup, terrible start.

Was about to ask if anyone had a working stream but perhaps not

Can’t get out our half need gilmour in there his speciality is moving it forward from deep 

Is Christensen on display for a move to City? He's never been so advanced and on front foot...

I feel like lamps has left kante in no mans land. He is the only defensive midfielder because Mount and Barkley arent. He will have the city midielders to deal with plus bernado silva who will be dropping back from his false 9 position.. I expect Jorginho to come on in the first half just like Arsenal away because our midfield is about to be over run 

Any streams, i thought this f**ker would be on Sky?

That City away kit is bloody hideous ... reminds me of some awful ice lolly I had as a kid ...

City is playing some sweet football here.

Could see this happening when we got the lineup news, you can see already it’s not working 

City look so sharp here, this is going to be a struggle I think. 

It's not been a great start. We seem reluctant to put in a tackle and we are slow to react to our own passes.

12 minutes in and we probably had possession for 15 seconds of that. 

Hope we can survive this period without conceding.

Nice move Pulisic.
