Team i would like to see                                                                      Team  he will pick

                 Sanchez                                                                                             Sanchez

Gusto  Forfana  Colwill Cucurella                                               Gusto  Forfana  Colwill Cucurella                 

                   Caseido                                                                                     Enzo       Caseido

   Neto         Palmer       Sancho                                                    Neto          Palmer      Sancho

              Nkunku  Jackson                                                                                  Jackson

Personally dont think Neto will start 

Expected lineup. 

Fofana needs a good showing. Tosin is starting to put pressure on him for thar RCB spot.

Noni is due a good game as well.

No way should Noni be starting, hes been poor since Wolves

I'd have personally started Palmer on the right with Nkunku behind Jackson but it's the expected lineup

Danny Welbecks presence means our run of 3 clean sheets in a row ends today me thinks.

No Carney even in the match day squad? 

It’s great to have options, and I like Marecas consistency in selection. We know if anyone isn’t performing they’ll be hooked at HT or shortly after. 

Agree on the Fofana vs Tosin, but still think Enzo settled on his first choice ahead of game one this season. 

Noni does need a good game. 

Hope Jackson pushes on. Chelsea need to be focused, determined and clinical to win today. 

Starting 11 seems to be taking its final shape. Good to see Gusto back and Lavia on the bench.

Would have liked to see Noni benched because he's been in a bit of a rut lately, but I guess he provides more defensively. 

Now watch him score a brace haha!

Nkunku also can't get a look in for some reason.

Come on boys!

Exactly 

That looks like Enzo's first team right there. Is this Sancho's home debut?

Still ahead of Neto & Sancho for me. Like someone pointed out works harder than the others defensively, and adds pace going forward. Needs a big game today though or he will be on the bench next game.

Mudryk in the match day squad again. It's obvious Maresca has a finely tuned sense of humour. 

Time for Fernandez to start performing at the expected level ... hopefully now that Lavia is fit that will put some pressure on Enzo to up his game.

The only other person I know who would keep putting Mudryk in the match day squad every week is @Snedger

City lost another two points. Opportunity to reduce the gap to one point, let's do it!

City dropping points without Rodri already ... 4 so far if you include the two from the Arsenal game after he went off injured ... 

Everyone in the Chelsea squad should be thinking "title shot" this season. The cards are falling into place perfectly. It's absolutely huge that our injury situation has improved so much vs recent seasons ...

I’d love them to think like that. Also hope Maresca is keeping them in the moment, one game at a time. Be really good to reach Nov/Dec and be in a very competitive place in the league. Come the new year our depth will really help then. 

We’re building something. They need to keep wanting it every single game. 

Just said on Hub Premier 2 that Brighton have lost two of their starting back four this morning apparently.

This should be a good test as to how well we're really doing at the moment. Brighton are no mugs so a win today and a good run afterwards and who knows. C'mon you Bluuuues 

Come on Chelsea!

I want a win but I still have PTSD from the last few seasons!!!!

 

Also f**k  Welbeck!!! I just know he will score!!

Cmon Chelsea !!!

Literally every game they read out the Chelsea team news, they mention money. It's a really really tired point to make now.
