Absolutely no chance Pep changes the formation like this.

A villa friend who was at the game yesterday said Chelsea were shocking. He reckons if we play at even 75% of our ability and they play like that we will leather them on Saturday

A CL final is a completely different matter and a whole other state of mind.

Kind of goes without saying, but the first goal is going to be SO crucial in what will almost certainly be a very tight game.

We often go chasing games when we fall behind and this could risk not only going 2 behind on the counter, but also the possibility of losing our heads a bit and the risk of yellows/reds.

Score first and we can manage the game in a way that suits us, by drawing Chelsea out from what will no doubt be a very defensive set up, which could play right into our hands.

Already nervous...gonna be an absolute wreck by Saturday

I'm laughing. Play our own game and no need to worry about them.

Chelsea won't know what's hit them, as we'll pass and move like lightening, reaching our final destination of European Champions. Vengeance will be reaped for our cup semi final exit.
Without strengthening, the team can go another season without being broken up, so, injuries permitting, this could be the first of many - our turn to dominate Europe.

Maybe the game has come at the wrong time for Chelsea. Worst run of form under Tuchel and should be worse still if not for an obvious pen not given at our place.

They’ve had to win pretty much every game for a while to get top 4 and might have run out of steam. Their recent must win games haven’t gone well.

Hopefully already qualifying for CL will take even more edge off them. I really think we can win this and win it well, my main worry is the ref.
