Can we spread the covid love so we don’t have to play anymore games in December?

Yes please. I don't want to see any more of that dross we sat through tonight.

2 positive Covid tests at Wolves today. If there are more tomorrow I can see the game being called off.

Jorginho is a doubt for this one with pain. Loftus Cheek is a doubt with pain.

Tuchel says he might have to throw Kovacic in there who just rejoined training today alongside Kante who's only recently back too.

which players?

I don't expect this game to go ahead. We already had 4 cases yesterday, how many more by Saturday? How many Wolves will have?

If we somehow do play and lose no one else, then we should go with:

 

Mendy

 

Dave

AC

Rudiger

 

James

Chalobah 

Kova

Alonso

 

Mount

Jude SB

Vale

Kai Havertz tested negative today so is back in training. So I assume he is an option for Sunday too.

Provided he is whatever sickness he had yes I would agree.

You are right. He could still be sick with flu which would make him unlikely to play. According to TT he was back in training today though so that is encouraging.

I don't see the PL cancelling this weekend for those teams that have 'enough' players to play. They should have done it by now to allow fans enough time not to travel where ever they have to. If Wolves and us don't report more positive cases, the match will go ahead.

The game is on Sunday though. It really depends on how things look by tomorrow evening.

Yes, I'm talking about breaking up the PL, that is, suspending all games from this week end. We are fine if they decide tomorrow, but Burnley play at Villa and Arsenal play at Leeds tomorrow, and there will be many fans travelling. They need to know today whether they have to go or not.

It is, have to see how he and everyone else is on Saturday. We know Lukaku, Werner and CHO have to isolate and would be options for Villa if fit.

We have drifted put from 15/8 to 8/1 to win the title.

Basically the bookies think we have, or about to, blown our chances already.

Must win game.

Agreed.

They all are now.

If we lost, its better think about 4th place than 1st

Hey man I told you I was totally fine with putting up a random lineup against Everton in hopes it wouldn't backfire... Buuuuut, now there is no turning back we gotta win this match!

Jimenez will be there so it's extra hard considering that he's much better than the players that scored against us this month so this is a big one!

I don't care about restrictions, everyone and their mother got 3 boosters by now so let's go this is the match to make it or break it! All in baby, start winning the league now or don't give false hope with delaying matches it's all about the now!

Still believe we can win the league eh?

 

 

Is not that we are not a good side, is that City and Pool are better equipped, at full strength or close to it, to win a league than we are. They have been built for years towards it. TT has had one window and his one star signing has been injured for quarter of the season as has 2 of his main 3 Midfielders. Is asking too much as pool and City have the two best coaches around and win ridiculous levels of games in a row.

For me being safe in top 4, no last day drama, and at least one cup (league cup a big opportunity now City are out) would be a good start to TT first full season. Hopefully we back him in January and we can push on for more than one cup.

Also this one is a:

For you Gol. Wolves 1-0 Chelsea, Jimenez 71.

There is a big chance this game is postponed. If not we are forced to play with a massively depleted side. Kovacic and Kante to start possibly. Wolves is in a good form. We are not going there to win but to play one game of football to mark it off the calendar. 

I have no eager to watch the game apart from seeing Kovacic play maybe.

Surely it's unfair that we need to hobble along with several Covid-cases, extreme fatigue and injuries while several other clubs gets a long break to refresh mind and bodies, get healthy and then restart the season with brand new energy? Massive advantage in favor of Manchester United and Tottenham as far as i'm concerned.

As a matter of fact I would not at all be surprised if they are both right at our heels very soon the way our situation is.

For tomorrow we have no match-fit midfielders. We are going to lose this match badly if it goes ahead.
