Bring it on...

Well we cannot play the CL final players but we can still try for the same result.

 

Kepa

 

Christensen

Silva

Rudiger

 

Dave

Jorgi

Kante

Alonso

 

Mount

Havertz

Werner

A draw would be a good result, a win would be a great result, a loss wouldn't be a surprise.

Agree with that

I would be tempted to see 3 midfielders in kova kante and jorginho for this game. 
 

Kepa 

christensen silva rudiger 

azbi kante jorginho kova alonso 

lukaku werner 

Has to be different to last time. Need a bit more intent. 
has to be alonso and Dave for wing backs, so if either Thiago or Christenson not ready that’s another game for Sarr  

Mount was average in the spuds game  still he’ll be playing in this one   For me it’s  Werner and lukaku but I think most prefer Werner and havertz  

kante also gave the ball away twice in his brief v spuds cameo and I’d go for kova and Jorginho using Kante as a sub  …. But that’s why I’m not a football manager

Last time we played like that and we couldn't get a shot on target.

                 Kepa

Azpilicueta Silva Rudiger

Ziyech Kante Kovacic Alonso

          Pulisic  Mount
              Havertz

Man City probably are the best team in the league with current form. But we should not show any fear, we have to put a high tactical discipline performance and hit them as much as we can, it's possible!

Defensively we can be really strong, my only issue is the way we're going to attack and create chances. We can be deadly in the attack and we can be annoying, a lot depends on the players how they will perform in the game.

------------- Kepa -------------

-- Christensen - Silva - Rudiger -

Azpi -- Kovacic -- Kante -- Sarr

------- Mount ------ Havertz ------

------------- Werner ---------

 

Winning this game will deliver a huge message to the league, but it's the same for City. 

Big game, big day, big performance is needed. COME ON CHELS!!!!!

Always more confident of beating city than I should be. I’ve thought we’ve looked good in the 442/4222 recently but this isn’t the game to continue that.

Kepa

Christiensen Silva Rudiger

Azpi Kova Kante Alonso

Mount

Havertz Lukaku

 

Werner and CHO off the bench for some direct pace 2nd half  

Is it too early to say anything other than a win and its over for a possible title run? 

Certainly a loss and 13 points is not going to be recoverable and would push us close to teams fighting for fourth 

4 2 2 2

 

Kepa 

Azpi. Silva. Rudiger. Sarr

     Jorginho. Kova

    Kante.      Mount

   Havertz.   Werner

i would play Sarr over Alonso as he has more pace but the downside is he doesn't have the same crossing ability as Alonso

The lady presenter that said "Chelsea are a much better team with Lukaku in the side" is just so wrong.. 

I don't think he should start, all our creativity goes out of the window. 

We'll win 

Glad you all have confidence in a win, I don't have much.

Trying to decide if I even want to set an alarm for 7:30 am to get up and watch it.  I might wake up on my own at that time anyways, but I'm not sure how much I want to get up early to watch it.

I live in San Diego and will wake up at 4.30 am, probably hung over to watch the match...🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦. 

I just pray we put up more of a fight compared to that cowardly performance at the bridge earlier this season.

I have been thinking this match was Sunday for a while now. Glad I realized my folly now and not miss the entire match on Saturday. Plus, watching the football while snow falls outside is top IMO. Bring it on!!!

Also just realized we are the early kick off on saturday too... uhhhh

Leaving at 5.00 in the morning for this one, got a.good feeling about this one following recent performances.  You have to be optimistic or what's the point in going. Come on you Chelsea .

Front three of Werner, Havertz and Mount for me

It would be lovely to dent City's season. A win would do it. If someone can win there it is us. We need a strong showing in midfield so Kante-Jorginho is the pair.
