Can't help but think we'll cut right through them without Caicedo

I assume it'll be Reece James and Fernandez in the middle? Its actually not a position they have much depth in!

If we play like we have been of late, I think we'll likely win fairly comfortably
 
We've got some tired looking players but not sure we've got enough to rotate. Going to depend on injuries. Hopefully Gonzalez is fit because I doubt we would want Rodri playing the whole game
 
Referee: Michael Oliver . Assistants: Stuart Burt, Nick Greenhalgh. Fourth official: Simon Hooper. VAR: Darren England. Assistant VAR: Dan Robathan.
 
I think 2 less days rest is a real disadvantage particularly with how physically demanding last night was. It levels the playing field a bit. It won’t be an easy game this one. Hopefully the loss of Caciedo and the turmoil helps us.

We can’t make too many chances as we just don’t have the right quality to come in.

I think I’d keep Ake in and leave Gvardial at LB for this one.

Doku in for Savinho
Rodri for Gonzalez
 
We've got to respond positively and win this game now, or we'll be giving Arsenal the statement of non intent they will want to see ..... we're usually so clinical, but it completely deserted us last night, so we have get straight back amongst the goals when we play Chelsea.
 
Chelsea are so unpredictable. Don't know who they'll pick or how they'll play.

But hopefully they'll have a bit less of that underdog physical intensity of the last two games, we'll enjoy having a bit more of a football match and stick a few past them.
 
Donnaruma

Nunes
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol

Rodri
Reijnders
Foden

Bernardo
Haaland

A Chelsea fan on his club.



I think Liam Rosenior might be a decent coach though purely based on his ability to talk. I am sure that I have seen him on Sky Sports and other shows as a pundit.

Not a chance does get get the respect of that dressing room.

I saw a video of him yesterday in the Strasbourg dressing room giving a talk and it was like my old PE teacher after a school football visit to a rival school.
 
I don’t rate these in any way. I certainly don’t know they don’t have Caciedo and don’t have a manager

3-0 City

8 wins on the bounce, can't be playing "that bad"

Yeah you're right. That we played poorly v. Forest but won, played poorly v. Sunderland and got a draw which statistically proves a downward trajectory- we'll be fine if we just show up as is with no worries.
 
I think we could hammer them by a few goals.
Quite interesting that 12 months ago Nunes wouldn't have got anywhere near anyone's preferred starting 11 yet now he's close to a definite in his new role every game. Really most impressive turnaround by the man.
