We’ll have to cut the angles down for Kane shooting from outside the area.

Don’t really understand the Kepa decision, is Mendy injured?

Guess so, not even on the bench...

What’s up with mendy ?

 

surely injured then.

 

that’s a massive blow 

Mendy obviously injured from midweek match.

Spurs more or less back to full strength and fired up, will be a dangerous match.

Mendy have had some ongoing issues with his hip, it sucks that we loose him for this game. 

Dangerous game this. Mendy out, Kante not fit and Son back for them. Nervous

Hmm I prefer nuno when he play skipp and winks in midfield 

Would have preferred Kante in there instead of Kovacic ... we need his legs defensively against a pacy Spurs attack

Not ideal. Missing kante and mendy against their best 11

A draw wouldn't be terrible all things considered, but i think we will win.

We need the 3points now that Utd have just scored...f**king jammy bastards

Well I predicted it so I will stick with the 0-0 however Mendy being out for us is an absolute hammer blow. More likely we let in 2 or 3.

We saw last week we are not in full gear yet and had Kepa played vs Villa we would have been 1-3 down at half time. 

Spurs being full strength is not a surprise. We are about to see how royally F'D we are during the ACoN, a preview if you like, and against Spurs of all sides...

Seeing Dier in their team fills me with home. 

Seeing Kepa in ours fills me with dread. 

Hope He puts in a good performance.

Lingard sure knows how to score at the London Stadium doesn't he. Lol United get all the luck, like Antonio getting himself banned for this game lol

So much for spuds injuries 

Mendy is out for three weeks muscular injury apparently, oh dear !

Ladies and gentlemen, we are not being smiled upon today. 

We have lost our only none replaceable player ahead of facing Spurs, City and Juve in key games, and West ham messed up a last second pen against united.

We ain't winning today, probably losing, things are not turning out well for us at all.

We have absolutely huge games in that period. Aie aie aie.

I think we need a win. If we want to win the league, we can't be falling behind. These next two games could be huge.

Not thrilled with the lines up. Less so on Chelsea side and time for Kepa to continue the signs we saw end of last season. 
More concerned players returning to Spurs will lift them and they’ll start fast, so we better be ready out the gates. Also wish we had more attacking threat - Timo over Mount, but perhaps when game is more stretched. 
 

Come on Chels!

We do indeed, but with Kepa in goal we are done for. Hope we have filled up on enjoying our clean sheets. Won't be keeping another one until Mendy is back.

No matter how good a coach TT is and even if he gets our defence back to its best, which it has not been yet imo, with Kepa in goal the opposition just needs to get efforts on target from any distance at any height. 

I think many are remember winning us the super cup shoot out. Sadly this is not a shoot out. In a proper game he costs us matches.
