Chelsea (A) - Thu 5th Jan, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Surprised to see Bernardo keeping his place, been anonymous in too many games this season. All the rest looks rather decent, glad that Stones and Ake are the starting central defenders. Cancelo has a lot of making up to do, hopefully starting tonight. Thought Alvarez would have been starting (ahead of Silva).
Was thinking today, how seldom City v Chelsea ends in a draw.

Everton are piss poor this season, look how that turned out

We should beat anyone with the starting eleven out tonight .

Don’t see how anyone can argue with that line up ….. But I’m sure they will

They just fucking hate us pal

As I say, stopped listening to pre match stuff quite a long time ago, mainly because of BT

 

[Saddleworth2]

that he will start them in the cup on sunday

nearly a nibble.

 

[JTFactsPlz]

We can't do that because we tend to drop points with all midfielders starting. And we won't have impact subs

Indeed

 

[Paul1970]

No excuses tonight with the line up we have .

 

[Claytop]

Astonished how popular this lineup is. Pretty sure it's given us poor results so far. Apart from anything else, Bernardo is wasted on RW.

It’s strong no doubt but points dropped against Newcastle, Villa & Brentford with at least that front 6.

Need to make it click.

Slight quibble about Álvarez not being in starting line-up. Otherwise all good.
