We either wind 5-4 or get battered!! No in between 

Not too confident to be honest. We could be on a 15 game winning streak, scoring 5 goals every match, all this while one of the two Manchester clubs would be in a relegation battle, coming from a 0-8 loss against Ipswich at home and we would still find a way to look them like world beaters and get thumped. I really despise the fixture against City and United.

Yeah I don’t see us winning this one. City got bundles of experience and that will show in games like today.

They may slip up to weaker teams due to complacency but we’re one of the big clubs so they’ll be up for it.

1 - 3 to City

Not confident here, when we play big teams it seems to get to our players and we mess up.

anyway 

Sanchez 

james chalobah tosin cucurella 

Enzo caicedo

neto palmer sancho 

Jackson 

 

We need to up the pace and pressure, hope Jackson takes 2 or 3 of his 6? chances and Sanchez only gives them 1 goal

There is every indication that this will be a chaotic, ridiculous game between two defensively incontinent sides. I can't wait.

Predictions:

- Both teams to score at least twice;
- Jackson redemption arc;
- Me to spend most of the game tearing my hair out because we're not exploiting the fact that they have Nunes at right-back;
- Maresca and Guardiola to spend the entire game looking miserable despite both sets of fans enjoying every minute;
- Big Trev MOTM again;
- Cucurella to be widely lauded despite spending most of the game getting in the way in possession;
- @just to somehow come up with the best 'two bald men fighting over a comb' joke that has ever been made;
- Me to be completely wrong as both teams bottle it and play out a timid 0-0 draw.

Match day!!  Come on Chelsea - KTBFFH.

Not confident either - Wolves win papered over the cracks of some pretty dire form.  We have to take our chances and cut out the mistakes to get anything today - tough ask. 

Felix out then

Ah come on you negative Nellie's.

 

Even Coral laughs when you try and place a Chelsea win! Might get better odds on a Jackson goal!

Line up as expected : 

 

Chelsea: Sanchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson

Substitutes: Jorgensen, Gusto, Acheampong, Disasi, Tosin, Dewsbury-Hall, Neto, Nkunku, Guiu

 

Enzo and Colwill return

No Felix on the bench !

He must be off ...

Get the ball to Sancho as much as possible, Nunes is NOT a RB, in facthes sh*t wherever he plays

Not sure why we are putting Sancho up against him. Did the same with Ashley Young, did not work.

City are not scary at all this season, I'm expecting a draw at the worst.

Come on boys!

With Bournemouth blowing Forest away and Newcastle win I guess it has to be 3 points then...

It does not have to be, this is not match week 38. 

But it should be 3 points.
