If I'm looking at the standings right a win today guarantees qualification for the knockout round.  

Conor Gallagher and Pulisic are starting apparently

You know Potter could technically rest Silva AND still play a back 3 with this:

 

Kepa

 

Dave

Chalobah

Cucurella

 

RLC

Kovacic

Jorginho 

Chilwell

 

Mount

Aubameyang 

Sterling

 

I could see him picking this team too lol...

If i was a betting man, this is exactly the team he will play.

So no broja again then...

Fairly sure that's:

 

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

----------------Chalobah---------Silva--------Cucurella

March-------------Jorginho----------Kovačić-----------Trossard

------------------Gallagher-----------------Havertz

------------------------------Aubameyang

What the f**k are we playing?

Kepa

Chalobah Silva Cucurella

Jorginho

Gallagher Kovacic

Pulisic                         Sterling

Havertz Aubameyang 

Quite happy with the line up. Only two defenders left on the bench. Gallagher with Kova gives us legs and strength. Let’s see if we can create and convert chances tonight.

That can't be real.

Ergh  all he had to do was start Dave in place of Havertz and we would have a well balanced side in a back 4...

Where is Sesko for RB BTW?

I must say this is another weird line up. I think we will be fine though

Will @just get his wish to see Jorgi at RB or RWB? Anxiously waiting for the game now 🤣

I'm getting really pissed off with Potter...same old sh*te every time...WTF is Sterling doing on the pitch, and why no back 4, and where's Broja in the starting line up...

The back 3 hasn't worked that well in previous attempts. So I won't be surprised if we see subs after 30 mins again.

Do those calling for a back 4 really want Azpi playing at right back? That’s a recipe for disaster these days.

What??

How are we setting up? Pulisic and Sterling as WBs? Not a very balanced lineup in my view and, playing players out of position again to force a back line of 3?

Azpi hasn’t got the legs to play full back these days. Anytime he’s done it this season he’s got caught massively out of position time and time again.

It's a disaster when he plays as RWB, he hasn't got the legs, but I think that he'd be fine as full back not having to go forward that much.

So not just Pulisic out of position at wingback, and not just Sterling out of position at wing back. But BOTH at the same time. Genius.

Are you watching games mate??

🤷‍♂️

Yeah. Are you if you think azpi can still do a job at full back? 

I have to say it now.  Past Chelsea coaches, including Tuchel, would have a "moment" and field a "weird" line-up once every other time which didn't make much sense to an average fan Joe Sixpack. Potter beats them all! Four games in a row he managed to "shock" it's own supporters and opponents with the line-ups that will keep you questioning if the planet Earth if flat or round....
