Cripes, no rest for the wicked. Too soon for CHO to appear, I expect.

My expected line up. Fluid with Gusto as right back in a back 4 with Levi moving to left back.

With Madueke fit I don't see the need. 

Sanchez

Gusto Silva Colwill Chilwell

Caicedo Gallagher

Madueke Enzo Sterling

Jcakson

I want to see this exactly. Only thing I would do is switch Enzo and Gallagher. I want to see Enzo running the game and Gallagher is quite good in advanced areas. Poch isn't going to do it though.😔

We're probably gonna see Chilwell at LW again, with Noni starting on the bench.

Palmer? He hasn't even been announced yet and if he signs in time will never have trained with the team. Doubt he's going to be involved tomorrow and if so I'd be really surprised if he played from the start. Good line up otherwise.

The Train Unions are deliberately targeting Chelsea, more " industrial inaction" planned on Saturday.

There should be an investigation.😢😢😢

You'll probably find links between the train unions and the PGMOL, not to mention Whitehall and the media

Ah, that'll be the c**t government.

Ok so I have put forward my preferred line up. Let's have a go at guessing who Pochettino picks

 

Sanchez

 

Disasi

Silva

Colwill

 

Gusto

Caicedo

Enzo

Gallagher

Chilwell

 

Sterling 

Jackson

Exactly as I would like to see.  Saying that, there are no easy games in the PL and I think Poch will revert to what we have seen with Colwill outside left centre back, and Chilwell advanced left.  Hopefully not though and your lineup takes the pitch.

That looks a decent, well-balanced starting lineup to me. 

Match Day !
 

Come On Chelsea!!

Thank goodness the transfer window is closed, now we can focus on football without all the noise! 
 

I’d love to see Palmer feature even if it’s just for 10 minutes. Fully expect him to have an instant impact.

So it’s the same line up as against Luton

Chilwell LW again…

So I predicted the Pochettino line up right then? Damn.

Madueke, Mudryk and Palmer all on the bench too. 
 

I don’t get it. 

We need to score 3 goals today to win.  Be prepared for the normal low block and explosive counter attack against us.  Really tough game, but a good measure of our progress and mentality.  Can't recall the last time we won back-to-back league and/or home games, so something to aim for.  My brain says 1-1, but I'm going with my heart today 2-1 Chelsea!  Goals from Jackson and Sterling. 

Also, you know when you're short of players when you have two GK subs!

It’s such a weird formation too, I’ve not really seen it work. Not sure why Poch is sticking with it.

Brutal team again. Really dont get where we are heading with this. Hopefully it doesnt come back to bite us and we get the 3 points.

Is Mudryk going to get a start, ever? How can we expect him to come good if he never starts?

I was just reminded how much Potter and Lampard's rotation last season infuriated me, so perhaps slow and steady wins the race!
