Love to use Maguire... Timo and Pulisic running at that guy.  ?

Ahhhhh hopefully it happens

I actually wanted a back 3 lineup that was my first suggestion, but I'm surprised that Kovacic is again on the bench. At the same time happy to see Havertz in the starting lineup.

Odd one with kova our best player arguably last season and Jorginho couldn’t get a sniff, kova defends, he is quick at turn overs he just offers more in that position for me 

Come on Chelsea! 

0 - 3 

 

I expect United to get a penalty but Eddy to deny Penandes. 

The only thing I wanted to see is Kova instead of Jorginho, but this should be a good lineup to get us a win today.

When I compare our quality of players with United's, I feel confident but then I remember how we play in the last games and still worried. Let's hope we will put a strong performance!

COME ON CHELS!!!

I can’t believe more haven’t commented about Mount not playing!!

United's starting XI almost as strange as ours. 

No Pogba or Matic in the midfield? 

James and Mata start in attack. 

Could be a really close this one. 

I think frank is trying to replicate the tactic we used against Spurs last year in his first game against Mourinho. That was one of our best games last season so I hope it works

 

Is this the game Havertz shows us what he's about? We need it!

Mata is a strange one tbh surprised he’s be put there to face Chilwell and pulisic

Mata v Giroud in a 50 metre race - assuming they can make it to the end, who wins ?

Mata has never been about pace. He’s an intelligent player who is good at finding space and using it well.

Alternatively Giroud is all about pace and runs in behind

Giroud is all about distracting everyone around him with his chiselled good looks. How dare you insult him. 

After seeing the lineup.  I feel confident!  1-3 with goals from Timo, Pulisic and Kai!

Add Jorginho and Alonso and you have the worlds slowest 4x100m team

Reece James will be providing the width on the right, that’s the point of wing backs. I think Havertz will be and Pulisic could be given license to operate where they want off of Werner. 

Fingers crossed.

It's not a bad line up at all and probably only 1 player away from our full strength XI.

Back three and no Alonso. He must be crying in the bus. 

Off to watch on a stream, PC struggles with both KTBFFH!

I love Gary Nevilles commentary but he is incredibly United Centric when commentating on a Man U game, either he is full of praise when they are winning or stating how awful they are when they are losing. 

Sky Sports should have neutral commentators for the games

They are probably dealing with fatigue from the CL

Fancy Werner vs Maguire. 
 

I hope Frank has warned them about their tackling in the box with United getting so many penalties

He gets emotional some times, I remember watching a match where he repeated like 3 times how Man Utd need signings, it's like a frustrated fan talking rather than actual commentary

I don’t mind G Nev. He’s always honest about how he views the game. 

Chelsea : 3-4-2-1

Manure : 4-2-3-1

Cavani on the bench. 

Tipping down. Got to stay on your feet today.
