Come on Chelsea.?

Can Ampadu play against us?

No. 

Blades are in free fall at the mo.

Had rotten fixtures so far. Already been to Liverpool and Arsenal as well as hosting City and Wolves.

Did themselves no favours by getting just 1 point against garbage teams like Fulham and Leeds though. 

They are struggling for goals, should be no charity from Mendy and co.

Don’t want to underestimate any team in the EPL. But we should have too much for them. Havertz won’t be available which is ashame as he definitely makes the midfield tick.

3 points in this game would very likely see us move up the table, quite a lot of big games this weekend. Yet after champions league it’s always hard. Would you start cho over ziyech? Probably not. Kova over Jorginho? Maybe but frame seems to prefer Jorginho. Just to keep things fresh I’d likely make those two changes. 

Sheffield are one of the worst teams this season. In current form we got nothing to worry about, but still we need our best players to keep the momentum going. 

The only key players we're missing are Havertz and Pulisic, we're still strong enough to continue and play our positive football.

This is the lineup I'd like to see:
 

-------------------- Mendy ------------------

James ---- Zouma -------- Thiago Silva --- Chilwell

-------------------- Kante ----------------------

------- Ziyech --------------- Mount ------------

Werner ----------- Abraham ------------ Hudson Odoi

 

Against a top team I'd put Kovacic, but I think that midfield of Kante and Mount would be enough to stop Sheffield, plus having Ziyech as another backup.

3 important points to get before the International break, let's hope we will do the job. COME ON CHELS!!

Might buy a Now TV daily pass for this game...

This is the sort of game where we’d drop stupid points last season, hopefully that’s fully put to bed now!

I'd put Odoi on the right and Werner on the left. 

They put 5 past us in the 2 games against us last season, this game will show us how much we've developed defending on the transition in comparison to last season.

I'm actually hoping that we don't mess with the backline too much.  Midfield three will obviously include Kante and Mount, I'd imagine.  Up Front I wouldn't mind seeing Ziyech, CHO, and maybe even Giroud

One would hope so, but I can't see them remaining in a relegation position and sooner rather than later their form should pick up. They are still quite a resilient team and may prove tougher to break down than some are anticipating. 

By law of averages or whatever you want to call it, we should win this. Got battered away  and bottled a 2 goal lead at home which ruined my day whilst on holiday in Barcelona. 

No mistakes and we can put 3 past them.

3-1 (Mendy has had enough clean sheet bonuses)

Any side that Frank picks from our superb squad is alright with me, but I would love to see Giroud and Ziyech playing together.

Time to return the favour to what they did to us few months ago. They are rock bottom right now, although they were pretty difficult to crack when I watched City playing them last time. I'm confident with Werner, Ziyech in the team, the extra fire power we didn't have last season. Not taking anything for granted, but there's no excuse not winning this game comfortably.

They are doing pretty badly, so I expect them to turn up against us.

I would go for:

Mendy

Azpilicueta   Silva   Rudiger   Chilwell

Kovacic   Kante   Mount

Ziyech   Werner   Pulisic (if fit)

 

 

Wilder schooled Frank last season. It’s payback time. 

So excited for tomorrow. Love the progression we see each week and from last season. Our new signings really show up and Lampard doing a good job so far. Let this team grow together. 

                       Mendy

James     Silva          Zouma       Chilwell

                      Kante

         Ziyech            Mount

CHO       Abraham        Werner

 

I hate seeing Kante in that attacking role like we say against Rennes

I’d play this. 

We did well against Burnley, should probably try to replicate that. But no Havertz this time, so either CHO or Kovacic in his place instead. The only problem is, Kovacic doesn't get forward enough and likes to stay deep, so he might disrupt the ultra attacking offence.
