As I have mentioned before I really hate this fixture, not expecting to enjoy this at all. Always horrible to not win heading in to another international break as well...

On a side note our win at Arsenal seems about as much as an achievement as beating Palace given what City are doing to them.

The win against Palace was the bigger of the two results. 

C'mon Chels! Smash the Bin Dippers!

Our biggest game since the big un.

I’ve just had to help a guy who’s just ran a cat over and was devastated. Poor cat.

I feel sh*t now and find it hard to get excited for the game now.

OFF TOPIC but Conor Gallagher is finding his inner LAMPARD / MOUNT form right now

Same team except Kante for kova. 

The only surprised is Alonso over Chilwell 

Starting XI: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, James, Jorginho, Kante, Alonso, Mount, Havertz, Lukaku.

Subs: Kepa, Thaigo Silva, Kovacic, Werner, Loftus-Cheek, Chalobah, Hudson-Odoi, Chilwell, Ziyech. 

Only change is Kante for Kova. I hope Alonso exposes TAA and not the other way around

Thought Chilwell would be playing tbh 

decent line up but I would have played Werner over Havertz to get their defence turned and VDK out of position

What’s he done 

Liverpool is playing firmino over Jota and that is not a surprised, we have a clear weakness in the team. Hopefully Kante is healthy and firing.

That's my fear, Alonso has more than a tendency to get carried away in his attacking role and totally forgets to defend...Chillwell should have been brought in for this game as at least he's more than capable of defending again TAA.   Can definitely see Klopp exploiting our left side today.

Hard one to call. I think we're better than them in most positions. Home advantage might level it up, could see it being a tight 1-1 but hoping for a Chelsea win.

Come on Chelsea!

Firmino will occupy Jorgi

Is my fear, and the lack of Werners pace who really gave them a good going over last time around.

The 11 poor souls and subs subjected to being screwed over by Anthony Taylor...

Expected lineup but I would have picked werner over havertz to take advantage of liverpool's highline

I was hoping to see T.Silva but this is fair, Christensen has been playing well.

Lukaku is also fast but he doesn't make those stretching off the ball  runs that werner makes but rather pins his defenders down. If there is space on the counter i expect Lukakau to exploit it

 

Expected lineup, Kante is a must with all respect to Kova. Good to see RLC on the bench as well.

Can't wait for the first whistle, COME ON CHELS!!!!!
