Win today and move to 5th....LET'S GO!!!

I’m enjoying the amount of cat gifs in this thread so far. Keep up the good work. 

not sure if this counts as a cat

Can only assume Havertz is still not fit because there's no way both Emerson and Alonso would be on the bench if he were.

Giroud AND Werner up front, interesting 

Havertz still injured? Anyway I like Giroud up top. The crosses have some chance.

Where's Chris P at tho?

Think It's Werner In The Role He Played At Leipzig

Got to feel for CHO, and Alonso?

Could have done with a bit of rotation in midfield.

It's unlikely that they have been dropped. They are probably being rested.

You would have trusted Kanté after his cameo on Thursday? He's probably gonna rotate against Barnsley.

Maybe resting and seeing how Chillwell and CHO faire.

Not right now, but Gilmour could have slotted in comfortably.

Rotation for Alonso and Hudson, it's good. Chance for Chilwell to prove himself as a LWB, Werner needs to find the net and Pulisic is back to the starting lineup.

Have no problem with the lineup, little worrying with our defense because it seems like Christensen will be our CB in the middle which requires him to be the engine of the buildup with Jorginho and Kovacic. Sheffield will fight for their lives tonight, heart and aggression is a must in the game.

Let's do it , COME ON CHELS!!!

Probably dropped due to poor performance. Lol

The sad state of modern football.

I am not sure why you can’t just go out and compete for both. They are not a zero sum game. I understand resting a player or two here or there, but we are not Sunderland, we should have enough depth to compete hard for both.

Think today will be the day Werner gets the monkey off of his back. It'll be a two-pronged attack with Giroud ferrying Werner about for added height on crosses. 

Not sure what happen to Pulisic this season but I find it very surprising that he isn't even on the bench... Tuchel knows him so I expected him to start contributing more...

I am good with this XI.

Why break the Jorginho Kovacic duo in a must win game ?
