As long as we have the same result as in Napoli :-)

Yes please :)

I don’t see us dominating the ball the way we usually do. Chelsea’s average possession is almost at our level. When we played Sarri’s Napoli away from home, we had 51% possession to their 49%. I’d expect this game to be even too, can’t see us having more than 55%.

Tells me that we need speed on the counter.

Sane and Sterling to start.

Not clear why so many would take a draw here. United almost beat Chelsea; the same Spurs side we comfortably beat played Chelsea off the park; and they are decidedly off the boil at the moment with Hazard coming down from his early season divinity. We will very likely dominate possession and we should start as clear favourites.

The major reason is because Liverpool can't pass us if we draw.

Chelsea in poor form, two losses from their last three in the PL.

Best team,no rotation for this one,we can do it

Hazard will turn this on. We’ve looked suspect at the back at times.

4-1 chelski

Chelsea were without Hazard and Kante for the community shield in August, plus Sarri was very new to the club. I imagine we will see a very different Chelsea at the weekend, particularly after their loss to Spurs. Sarri will have them well up for this one.

I think Pep will have City quite up for it too. We'll see soon enough

That was a long time ago

And Chelsea are in such a rich vein of form ;-)
