Far too early to pick a team when we have loads out with covid and probably more to come
This is a dig in and try and slog out the points , performance doesnt matter

Agree with your first sentence kaz,not so much the second unless we suddenly end up ravaged with covid and injuries…Far too early to pick a team when we have loads out with covid and probably more to come

James and Chilwell being out injured will help us big time. They are key to their defensive stability and attacking play. Chelsea are a very good team even without them, though. We need to perform at our best.
The most likely XI if all players are available:
Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Rodri, Gundogan, Bernardo, Kevin, Sterling and Foden.
Grealish and Stones haven't played recently and are not likely to start if available. I'd have Jesus on the right, he tends to thrive in big games with high intensity (both games with Real, Chelsea, Liverpool, PSG...), but his form seems to have dipped a bit recently and Sterling is more likely to start this one fitness permitting.
I expect outstanding football from us if we manage to field a strong team.

He is not ahead of raz at leastPalmer needs to be on the bench if not starting for me. He’s ahead of Raz, Grealish & Jesus for me with his recent efforts. Full of energy & fearless. Chelsea won’t know what time do with him
Is for me. Raz on paper a better player but he’s still reluctant to take players on although he is getting better. I just think palmer is an unknown with full of confidence. He will take anybody on & Chelsea won’t know how to handle himHe is not ahead of raz at least

How could a performance against a league 2 team trump performances against PL teams? We are 10 pts clear in the best league because the selected players have been generally excellent, even if their individual stats are not outstanding.
That said, I regard Palmer as a top talent. If he performs well vs PL sides, Pep might try him in a big game already this season, who knows?
