Mendy against Chelsea oh no... please not a repeat of the last time he played

Mendy was the match winner against Leicester. There will be more cover in central midfield with Fernandinho and Rodri playing. Mendy might be playing more advanced than against Leeds.

The team suggest that Pep is going to go strong for Villa and Spurs.

Agreed, but there is a distinct last of dynamism without Foden or Silva. Hope I’m wrong about the team. A few in the side can prove a few wrong on here, let’s hope so. Come on you Blue boys.

Chelsea are playing a very strong team.

They are. They’re playing Manchester City.

This is the kind of line-up which will be genius if we win. But if we lose, Pep is going to get a good slagging off.

Mostly because it's the same front three that was so awful against Leeds.

I hope Torres is on the left and Sterling on the right, I want to see them that way around, Torres looks good there for Spain.

You know thats unlikely to happen, at least at the start. Sterling always starts in the left and Torres usually hogs the right touch line. They may switch from time to time during the game.

It’s a strong lineup from us don’t know what everyone is complaining about. We were never going to be able to play our best XI.

If we lose this we lose this. Chelsea aren’t very good IMO but they’ve been playing very regressive and tight and that can always nick a cup match. Of course I’d like to win but the fixtures are awfully tight and managing the players fitness is the most important thing. If we had already truly locked up the league we could approach this differently but we still have some work left to do on all fronts

Chelsea aren’t very good, you’ve jinxed it now.
