Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

[Ric]

Going to be a difficult one obviously. Head says the same XI as tonight, heart says Guardiola will change it.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Otamendi
Delph
Fernandinho
D Silva
De Bruyne
B Silva
Jesus
Aguero

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

The only change I see is Raz for Jesus! We look a bit more solid with Raz.

Playing a back 3 / 5 is an option but we seem settled with a 4 now.

I would agree about Sterling only because Jesus was not at the races tonight. When he is, he should play ahead of Sterling IMO

Wouldn't go 2 up front for this one and don't think Pep will. Gundogan in there for me

Yes.

Five at the back away from home against the big teams is the best option for me. It’s a bit less fluid than 4-3-3, but it’s a bit more solid. I would be delighted with a point here, especially with it being the last game before the international break.

I think we will see this as well especially without Mendy. Both Delph and Danilo to play with Stones, Ota and Walker
