If the rumours are true that Cancelo isn’t one of the players to test positive I’ll feel much more comfortable about this kne

Steffen

Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Ake

Rodri
Gundogan
KDB

Bernardo
Aguero
Sterling

A full week of rest so I expect us to be fresh and have a fast start.

2-1 city

Don’t know but when the club have had positives tests in the camp they do test every day instead of every 2 days.

Same thing happened with Fulham albeit a day prior so yes it would only be appropriate to postpone the game for the same reason if more first team squad members are tested positive the main reason being they are close contacts with other squad members and the risk of spread is too high.

You could have an asymptomatic or player not yet positive who plays their would be a high risk of him spreading it to another player from another team and it goes from there.

This is why you have limit movement , in the real world if you are serious about limiting spread all close contacts and their close contacts should also isolate for 14 days.

of course if this practice was adhered to one positive test and the team would be out of action for 14 days.

Broadcast money rules the roost over public health however so one set of rules for players and staff at a football club and another set of rules for the pleb but yes we are all in this together (LOL).

Despite the PL insistence to keep going (and seemingly the FA as well), more postponements will happen. This will lead to an even more unbalanced looking table and schedule and really call into question the integrity of the completion - the obvious and sensible thing to do is a break now for everyone.
 
Not particularly confident about today if I’m being honest. Our record at Stamford Bridge under Pep isn’t good (1 win, 3 defeats) and we’ve not really won a big game for a while. Add in the Covid absentees and we’re up against it. On the flip side Chelsea are struggling recently and we’ve had extra rest so it’s not all doom and gloom, but we’ll need be at our best to win.

Wouldn’t mind seeing a back three, but doubt Guardiola will change the system.

I’m worried about this game because there big buy players ain’t delivered now with no pressure they will step up play ederson out Cancelo Mendy so be Acke who is ok. Like always though we will make enough chances to win the game problem as always will be is putting it in the net.

Honestly it doesn't matter if you are in form or struggling, the whole season is weird. Weird enough to see Man United joint first!!!???!!!!!

Everything boils down to which teams makes the first mistake, how tired will each team be, mental health, confidence levels.

It really doesn't matter anymore if you win 7-0 against a team cause you can play the next game and lose it 4-0. Its just a weird and difficult season.

This could go our way or their way or no one's way!
