Why this treatment of Reece ?

Honestly at this point now I’d rather risk playing him at right back than save him for midfield cover. He’s been fit for long enough now surely it’s time to take a gamble?

The same starting eleven and bench options as the Liverpool game ... so hopefully a repeat result !

Lavia finished his warm up early and went down the tunnel

I think Maresca said he doesn't see him as a rb, he sees him as a midfielder...

Quite amusing that our manager sees our world class right back as a midfielder, and our world class midfielder as a right back ... a specsavers advert beckons !

It is based on meritocracy not sentiment . Reece isn't the reece of 3 years ago. He is a quality guy to bring off the bench as a game changer

Watching it on american tv and both pundits predict Newcastle win, only because they believe that Newcastle wont want the ball and will catch chelsea on the counter, we played Liverpool last week on the counter, Maresca hopefully will have realised that we should stop the possession stuff, move the ball quick and attack fast, including long balls

lets hope we take the smiles off home fans early ....ITS ON

can I say this is a stupid kick off time

This is the biggest game of the season

That is an attacking lineup from Newcastle, could even be a 4-4-2. Hilarious that they have John Ruddy on the bench though (as the second of two goalkeepers). Wouldn't catch us doing that.

DOWNSIDE I GOT TO LISTEN TO ALLY MCCOIST

Here we go!! This one will be intense. Newcastle will bring everything in terms of effort. Let’s bring quality.

Come on Chelsea. KTBFFH!!!!!

For purely selfish reasons, this time suits me.

It's 9pm where I am so I can still get to bed at a reasonable time.

If we lose this and win our last 2 games, we still get top 5 right?

Because TNT have the rights and we couldn’t play it Saturday, and because Sky have Forest on at 2pm games cant overlap

Maresca is an idiot

Assuming this kick off time is too early for Sancho after a late call of duty session

Wonder how we’ll handle a potential back 3 and their wingbacks, if that’s how they’ve setup.

Omg we are done

Didn't take long

First attack
