Chelsea (A) - Sun 12th Nov, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Be a tough one, this, but I’m hoping they come out to try and play football and leave gaps for us to play in.

I fear they’ll do what every other team do and sit back to play on the counter which, with their pace, would be a good tactic.

Hopefully Erling is on form because he’ll get 2/3 chances as always, just needs to put them away.

2-0 City

Am I right in thinking Sterling hasn’t acknowledged the City fans when he’s played against us?

I remember our fans applauding him when he went off injured at Stamford Bridge and he walked straight past us.

He did release a decent statement when he left, but I know a few have been surprised about lack of acknowledgement in the matches.

He couldn’t find them.

I'm calling it.

96th minute Alti fan dodgy pen awarded to Chelsea.

Palmer picks up the ball...Potch tells him to give it to Raheem....

Sounds of laughter coming from the city fans.

 

[Heath Park]

Had a mad dream last night Pep randomly started Phillips and he scored a lob from his own half. Imagine the scenes

Own goal?

It's a bit hard to call this match as I've no idea which Chelsea will turn up. They go from looking decent to awful game to game.

Not true, he acknowledged the fans at our place twice.

If we're 3/4 up I'll have a bit of that.

Cool, cheers mate

Ederson
Walker Akanji Dias Gvardiol
Rodri Bernardo
Foden Alvarez Grealish
Haaland

Seriously harsh to leave Doku out, but I'm guessing he'll go for Grealish considering the threat James and Sterling offer down their right hand side. Doku can come on when James is gassed after an hour and tear him to shreds.

Might as well give Chelsea the 3 points today the way Sky are bigging them up
