Chelsea (a) pre-match thread

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Chelsea are not to be underestimated, they can beat anybody on their day and if Hazard has a worldie getting a result is a very tough ask, particularly at Stamford Bridge. However, of all the top 4 teams, Chelseas approach suits us best, they play similar football to us or at least they want to eventually so it will be a case of who can do it better rather than a battle of different styles clashing. we're the best around at what we do, that gives us a big advantage and whilst you can never be disappointed with a point at Stamford Bridge I really think we should be winning this and need to as to not give a liverpool a sniff to cling on to.

Team picks itself really depending on whos available. If Aguero isn't fit I could see Pep being tempted to play Sterling down the middle but I think he will resist that option as it might be a little too much to have too many similar players looking for the same space and making the same movements, and it doesn't give us much in the way of impact from the bench. Jesus to start if Aguero isn't fit and let's hope he starts finding his shooting boots.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Delph
Fernandinho
Silva
Bernardo
Sane
Sterling
Aguero/Jesus

Think it was 3 seasons ago, Hazard turned up against us. Just keep the ball away from him for 5 or 10 minutes and his bottom lip will hit the floor.

That is our best team,i hope pep doesn't over think it and play around

Trust in Pep, but i admit I do worry that if Aguero is out he might shoehorn Gundogan in there somehow.

I try and be ladylike between matches lol

Although I can see the argument for starting Sterling as the striker, I think he'd tear Alonso a new one on the right.

Can't see Gundogan playing up front tbh.

I'm missing 1st half of this. Am at work. I'm hoping to get in to see a nice HT score for us.
