Why?

Travelling from London.
Meant to go back into Scotland this morning.
No chance
So now down here travelling up to Manchester Sunday morning.

Is Walker fit to play?

I would hope so. I think he had an impact injury on his left shin from Sunday (looks like he had double pads on that shin last night)
A couple of days rest - none contact - and he should be fine if not a bit bruised. He has some silverware now to comfort him. :)

dont think fatigue is a problem at the moment players are buzzing with the cup win and last night we looked even more hungry. They will know a win on Sunday will be huge in terms of wrapping the title up early.

In terms of the team I expect the only questions marks to be over kompany, Fernandinho being fit and sterling other than that it’s full steam ahead.

On a side note I loved Martin Tyler trying to remind the Chelsea players of the city players supposedly singing only one kdb after the Stamford bridge win implying the Chelsea players should be desperate for revenge haha muppet

Funny, exhausted or not he managed to run further than any other player on the pitch. Some people don't realise he had a different role last night, he was very effective in that role.

Yeah makes sense. I’m just used to seeing him pierce through ball after ball lol

I was going to post something about how this will be a different game to the Arsenal ones entirely, and how we will probably need to be patient in order to grind out a close win due to their ability to organise a defence; that I'd fancy us to do in the end.


But with the new added poll options I have to say I expect a 3 0 defeat. Thanks Ric

No Press Conference today?

Find it strange. A repeat of the same reasoning with Arse... weren't up for the cup final/rags but will be up for it in the league. I will repeat what I said on the Arsenal game thread. We are far better than United in every department (and they won) and I can see no problem in dispatching Chelsea. There is a reason we are 22 points ahead of them.

Stop Hazard and we stop Chelsea

Will-I-am is showing some very good form. He has been their best player for this last month.

No Press Conference today?

I was just wondering the same thing. Think he's contractually obliged to do one, but maybe he's doing it later today?
