Otamendi is on 8 yellows.
Cut off after the derby.
No other worries.

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

I agree, which has me wondering where I apparently wrote that about Hazard. I don’t see it on this thread. Odd.

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

Not sure if he is doing one. After the arsenal game they took questions for Chelsea at the end of that press conference.

Strongest available, gate these beaten good and proper, then we can rotate on Weds.

Should be tailor made for us this game, with them playing 3-4-3, usually leaves us plenty of space where we like it.

Shame Bakayoko is injured, he’s utter donkey spunk.

Is it the same ones that every week predict City will get beat

He did an embargoed press conference after the Arsenal game. Presume news (if any) will come out at 10.30 tomorrow night. Nothing today.

Yes we owe them big time after the way the ref last season allowed them to get away with kicking us off the park and doing nothing about it. I don't think that Michael Oliver would do anything about booking Chelsea's players should they resort to the same kind of game as last season. I don't know why but for some reason he just doesn't like us, I just wonder if he is a closet rags fan.

I think Oliver is still one of the better refs (which isn't saying much!) and I get a feeling that the refs have given up trying to fight the inevitable and maybe we'll have a few things go our way in the run-in.

Ha, it’s my crap editing mate. I picked a quote up from you by mistake and then mis edited. Sorry. :-)
