Haven't seen anything about this game tomorrow. Big game - Chelsea looked very good in their last game with Morata and Hazard looking sharp and on each other's wavelength.

Given the shambolic second half on Tuesday I think Moreno will be dropped (as Lovren was post Tottenham). Other than that I'd expect the usual home team where injuries allow.

-----------------Migonlet----------------
TAA-----Lovren--Klavan---Robertson maybe Milner, but I think AR gets a run
------------------Hendo---------------------
----------Gini--------Coutinho--------------
Salah--------Firmino-------Mane---------



My ideal line up however would be

------------Mignolet-----------
TAA---Lovren--Gomez--AR
---------------Can--------------
---------Gini-----Coutinho----
Salah-----Firmino---Mane


I think we could do our usual and put it on them here, but someone needs to keep Hazard in check as he is on fire at the moment.

Lovren wasn't dropped post-Tottenham
 
I would be very surprised if Milner didn't start, and be amazed if he picked a defence with Gomez, TAA, Klavan and Robertson in it.

Although any defence that has Klavan in it worries me.
 
Physio room suggests Matip could return - which would be great news. Matip & Lovren in the centre at least has potential to be good, whereas any other combination will be average at best.
 
He was selected in the starting XI for the Huddersfield game, and replaced after getting injured in the warm-up.

Really? Not sure how I missed that... Hmmm. Maybe Moreno will be invincible here. Whilst I hate the idea of scapegoating, I also know that Chelsea will target him knowing he'll be nervous as hell.

If we switched the back 4 with the front 4 in any of those lines ups I doubt the outcome would be any different.
 
I like your gumption regarding Robertson but I would deffo go with Milner for this game. If Matip is fit then bring him back. I kind of understand why some hate Klavan but for me he's been fairly dependable so I wouldn't be overly bothered if he started. It's the midfield that needs looking at. Hendo/Gini/Ox/Can - All of them give me the fear!
 
I actually think we will win this, performance wise if we can emulate the top side home-form of last year, this Chelsea side looks like itll be suseptible to it.

Conte has changed up the tactics and Formation to maximise the time and space on the ball that Fabregas gets at the tip of the chelsea midfield, If we can keep him locked down, I fancy our chances.


The 3 vs 3 midfield battle will decide the game, im hopeful the work rate of our two and coutinho will help overrun their trio.

Not sure he has the brain function to be nervous
 
Interweb rumours that Sturridge and the Ox are starting ahead of Mané and Firmino. And Milner in centre mid.

Side I’ve seen looks like a 3-5-2.

Klopp’s got some balls if he’s wheeling that side out.

Holy fuck. If he does that I'll wonder if he's lost the plot.

Unless Mane needs a rest for fear of his injury then him not playing is nuts.

As for Firmino, whilst I'm not his biggest fan simply cos I like my number 9 to actually be an actual striker, if any game was crying out for his workrate as opposed to a real striker then this is it, so it seems bizarre to swap sturridge in for this match.

Make it 9-9 then
 
Chelsea had a three day turnaround and 3000 mile journey.

They might be there for the taking
 
The interweb teams are usually way off these days. But with so many games coming up we need to rotate a bit.
 
We're in a period of 4 weeks with a widweek game followed by a weekend game. Then we're into the Xmas schedule.

Rotation needed somewhere.
 
With Matip coming back we might just win it. With Hendo playing we might just be winning it until halftime.
 
That looks like an awful team. Bad defence, bad midfield, and just one good player in attack. Not looking forward to this.
 
Studge's final chance ... I'm amazed he's dropping the goalscorers from this past week ... maybe 'fresh legs' on at HT?

So odd.
