Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

[kaz7]

Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard could make his first league start of the season, while Pedro is likely to play after being rested in midweek.

David Luiz must complete a three-match domestic ban and Danny Drinkwater remains out because of a calf injury.

All this negativity is ridiculous.

I had picked City to win 5-0 based on our form (based on Burnley dispatching them 3-0). Yes Aguero, Mendy and Kompany are a big setback for City.

The game is going to be close now but we still play 11 against 11 and our 11 still way better. City win 3-1.

It was 3-2 and Chelsea had 2 men sent off (including a central defender off early in the 1st half). Also, they have vastly improved since then. Although I do hope your 5-0 prediction is correct!

Chelsea were so bad and match so one sided i shut off at 3-0. Does not matter we still take it 3-1.

Then Gundog or Danilo in the centre to help dinho.
We need a midfield.
Chavski looked good at Ath. Madrid.

Big test for Walker against Hazard

Hazard spends most of his time in the middle in the 3-5-2. Main worry for Walker is Alonso arriving for crosses with his height.

Get out of there with a draw and move on

something wrong here - I don't like this one bit

He knew he was going to be asked about Vinnie so he would have prepared an answer so why this one?

I'd read that as taking part in practice games, he appeared doing light work in the videos, if I remember correctly!

Typical. Hazard back just as we lose Kompany to go with Mendy and Vinny.

Yay.
