According to social media rumours James was on the bus. Jorginho, Alonso and Havertz weren't.

This will be a struggle with all a lot of players missing 

Apparently it's Jorgi, RLC and Havertz who's tested positive.

Chalobah & Kante starts in midfield.

If what it’s being said this is the team I would put out

Totally agree I will be there, like I was at Leicester, Liverpool, West Ham etc.

Where were you when we were sh*t.

Come on you Chels 

Get the 3 points today!

So havertz is out apparently with covid

james and alonso have made the team 

 

so no forward again? jesus christ

Think he has made an error though, he should had brought a few players from the U23s to the main squad to cover for the injuries. Everton, Leeds & West Ham had kids either starting or on their benches when we played them. Leeds even had a 15yr old kid on the bench v Arsenal.

hope it isn't pulisic who is in the false 9, probably going to be ziyech

Definitely Pulisic

That's a lot better balanced than we thought we were looking at earlier.

Looks like the game is going ahead.

Today is going to require a lot of resilience and mental fortitude. Hope the players can deliver a good Christmas present for us.

That bench gives me the creeps...

So if true all those who don't believe you can get covid twice need to ask Havertz if it's true.

This should not be going ahead. Spurs and Man U had their games called off with less absenties.

With our track record of smelling of roses when things look hopeless we'll probably win now with City and Liverpool dropping points.

What a bench. 😂

The bench....🤣

At least they'll be able to keep a distance of about half a mile between them.

It's all a farce,and totally written of this season for me.

spelling mistake

Not even 7 on the bench. Why not name a youth player there?

No hope for this game, feels like another poor performance and defeat coming.

Dat BENCH
