Hmm!

At least Rodri is fit!

He's gonna do what he did the last time they beat us

 

[blueste41]

I'm getting really stressed now. I know we will be Rodriless. What will Pep do to tinker with the team today.....I'm having horrid flashbacks to Porto '21.

He had a tinker last match, he never tinkers 2 matches running.....

If Cherki on bench Foden has to start

 

[WallyA]

Might be that Pep wants Marmoush high pressing with Haaland rather than Cherki.

And that Cherki against tired legs will likely be a very strong sub as well.

Honestly we could do Chelsea without Cherki. It’s just who plays in his place. If it’s Semenyo and not Doku it’s not looking good.

He's not. Both will be benched based on that front line.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Trafford
Nunes Khusanov Guehi O'Reilly
Bernardo Rodri
Semenyo Marmoush Doku
Haaland

Back 7 looks as expected, not sure about a couple up front

 

[Cobwebcat]

2 in midfield 4 up front because one of the two is Rodri

 

[bg1968]

Chelsea are not a team , they are a squad of players with individuals who can win a game with a piece of magic , under a rookie manager , total opposite to our club , we play as a team have spirit and a work ethic under the greatest manager ever , should be easy but we thought that about Palace last year , VAR put paid to that.
We are overdue a dubious decision

[Ajm1985]

4222?

 

[Enzo's Mascara]

Hammer these fuckers today..We are due a big win.

 

[MCFC1993]

Just the 9 defensive Chelsea players to get past.

 

[pudge]

Not a fan of Marmoush starting, would rather someone more capable of dropping into midfield but the rest picked itself really

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

6 Defenders on the pitch. Intentions clear from them.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Great team that...very mobile & fast...go at them City 3 nil. Marmoush, Haaland, Bernardo.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Let’s go 424 attack 3-0

 

[Bald fraud]

Glad marmoush starts hope he has good game
