I expect Newcastle to match our formation and play us man for man. I just hope we are up for the fight. I definitely don't expect this to be like Norwich..

                        Mendy

             Azpi.    Silva.      Rudiger

James.    Kante.   Jorginho.      Chilwell 

         Mount.      Havertz.     CHO

Fingers crossed Puli makes the bench, he's back to training now so this game may come a bit early, but I'd like to see him for a few mins assuming he's actually been fit to train for a while and we have just been super cautious with him.

Think it's the perfect time to play them since they'll be in-between tactics. We need the lads to perform

I think the opposite. Too often I have seen teams miraculously bounce back after the manager is sacked.

Looks like RLC is out with a hip problem, but hopefully, Pulisic will make the bench...

Mendy 

Dave Silva Rudiger 

James Kante Kovacic Alonso

CHO Havertz Mount

We've gt a pretty terrible record away to Newcaslte. Would be very on brand for us to lose to an interim manager of a side in the relegation zone. 

This has all the makings of a Chelsea banana skin. Like Everton away when they rallied for us. 
It’s still all about intensity to me. Work hard than them and be physical. Early goal would change everything also. 

Timo, Rom and Pulisic out

Timo and Rom are hopefull back after int. break

Pulisic for Burnely game

Kova out with hammy. Pretty much guarantees Kante and jorghi in mid, you’d think has to be mount, havertz and CHO up front. Chilwell nailed on, rudiger and Silva almost same, perhaps only decision around Christensen, Dave, Reece and chalobah area, likely Reece and one of other 3 rcb, my call is Christensen but TT may want captain Dave in the side.

given the injuries announced the team I would like to see is 

mendy 

azbi silva rudiger 

james jorginho kante chillwell 

mount Havertz CHo

im never confident when we play away at newcastle. Could be a potential banana skin

Newcastle away for us nearly always is a banana skin, no matter how good we are and how sh*t they are. It won't be a Norwich style massacre for sure. If we turn up with the same attitude as Norwich and Malmo though we will win.

Tuchel has said that Azpi, Kante and RLC are ready to play so will be in the team tomorrow.

So we more or less know which starting 11 to expect. Assuming that Liverpool and City will almost certainly win without a sweat tomorrow, we have to keep up the pace. Newcastle away was never comfortable for us.

This is meant as a joke and not a RACIST or XENOPHOBIC comment. Just putting it out there because we live in a time of cancel culture.

Actually I am too scared to crack it. I will just say I prefer my Dirty Money to come from RUSSIA.   LMFAO

Hmm it all start does that mean no Jorgi or a midfield 5?

I suppose that what he meant was that they’ll travel to Newcastle, not necessarily in the starting 11. But I wouldn’t mind Jorginho with RLC further up to connect with the forwards.

Could be he decided to start RLC as the flase 9 or one of the wide forwards. Who knows.

Incidentally David Old Coote is on VAR, arguably the most controversial I.e. useless VAR ref along with Mike Dean....so yay for that....

Match Day !

Come On Chelsea!!

Match day .....COME ON YOU BLUES !
