Sat, 30th Apr, 5.30pm Chelsea v Spurs.

very attacking side from spurs,they really do have a huge squad tbf,torres and drogs up front is a risk imo.hopefully it pays off

How can Spurs play with only one defensive midfielder ( Sandro ) and 4 attacking minded midfielders (Lennon,Bale,Modric & VDV) against Chelsea !

I'm under the impression they're trying to play VDV as a second striker... sort of an in-the-hole midfielder/striker... while still accommodating the fact they play crap in any formation other than 4-4-2.

Some confusion over the formation. If we're going 442 I'll be very nervous, its not even half as effective as 433 for us.

I thought you guys flourish in the 4-4-2 Diamond?

We did when Ancelotti first got here but it was exposed mid season and exploited. When he went back to mourinho's 433 we started tearing teams to pieces with some really entertaining football, such as 8-0 against Wigan (I know) last season. Forcing Torres and Drogba together is a gambit because it hasn't worked yet but they haven't both been on form yet so we'll have to see.

This could either pay off and Spuds get destroyed or it fails and we look limp and ineffective like we did during our mid season disaster. Depends on how up for it Torres and Drogba are I guess.

I think Spurs know that the only way they are going to beat Chelsea is by scoring more goals, they simply can't be hoping to hang onto a slim lead at Stamford Bridge given their defensive record.

They turned up there last season, if they do that today it could be a very entertaining game.

I think Chelsea will win but expect both teams to concede. I'll take a punt at 3-2 Chelsea.

John Terry making his 500th appearance for Chelsea.

I expect Chelsea to win here. Torres and Drogba upfront, both looking to prove themselves.

I sincerely hope you don't believe Torres is on form now because of one goal lol

Thats why I said we'll have to see. If he is on form then it could work. This isn't just possible because of his goal but his general excellent performance in the last few games he's played.
