HOW DO YOU KNOW?

IF HE IS LEAVING LAVIA ON THE BENCH JUST TO ACCOMMODATE ENZO THEN HES DELUDED, REFUSES TO PLAY PALMER AT RW, WE NEED OUR STRONGEST TEAM ON THE PITCH, AND THAT MEANS NOT STARTING GEORGE

Trust me, I'm never wrong.

Well apart from that awkward box up with birth certificates on a night out with Graham Rix

See you don't get that quality of mirth on any other Chelsea forum. 😂 Can't have enough Graham Rix jokes IMO.

After the Newcastle debacle it's difficult to imagine us going to Forest and getting a win. There's no denying that this group of young players has some talented individuals among them, but lack of experience and inability to convert chances into goals has been our downfall this season.

Anything can happen, of course, and I will support the lads and hope we will prevail, but we cannot afford to go into the game with the same mentality as it was at St. James Park or last season's League Cup final. You have to start strong and not allow the crowd to intimidate you. I know, easier said than done, but if we crumble again due to pressure of having to win, then we don't deserve to play in the CL, anyway.

I bet over half the forum have got him in their Fantasy team LOL. "Win /Win" !

Got a bad feeling about this one boys… let’s hope we can get a early goal because I see this being one of them nail biting matches like man united

So nervous for this game, the season will have meant absolutely nothing if we lose.

Or draw, given Villa are likely going to beat united.

Every time this team has had a pressure game, they’ve bottled it. I find it hard to believe that they will come up with the goods.

Best to prepare yourselves and let the team surprise you I think.

Think we’re going to get absolutely thumped today.

Maresca has shown he’s got 0 bottle for the big games or tactical flexibility and we’ve been dire since Christmas.

Him and Murillo are big threats, but milenkovic is lethal on set pieces. Even if we start both Chalobah and tosin it still eaves one of those 3 free.

Got Newcastle vibes around it. That one was over in 2 minutes. This one?

2-0 down by the half I think.

It's nothing to worry about. Our set-piece tactical coach will get Cucufella to mark him at corners and free-kicks. That's what usually happens.

I'm hoping that after the midweek humiliation United have learnt some shame and will proper go for it.

Hmm, you probably hope for too much mate.

We will all have to be up for this make or break game today. Everybit as much as the players and Pep Lite.

We must be positive and not surrender before we start. Shouldn't be too hard. After all, there aren't many French on here, and there is only one axman2526.

LOOKS LIKE YOU WERE RIGHT, MARESCA IS A c**t

NO CHALOBAH OR LAVIA ALL BECAUSE HE DOESNT WANT TO PLAY PALMER ON THE RIGHT

Chelsea: Sanchez, James (c), Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, Neto

Substitutes: Jorgensen, Acheampong, Badiashile, Chalobah, Gusto, Dewsbury-Hall, Lavia, George, Guiu

Nice to see Guiu on the bench, plus he can bring Lavia and Trev on when he realises he's got the starting line up wrong again LOL

Not the team I’d have picked, but here we go!

Come on Chelsea!! KTBFFH

One change from united, Sancho in for George.

Murillo taking pain killer injections so he can play for Forest. Did not train all week. Ankle and leg issues
