Closed Chelsea v Newcastle

[kellzfresh 7,226]

We need to concentrate on our match to win. Forget about other results and win our games first. That way we won't slip up after one of our title rivals slip up.

We are going to win this

Big game. Win this and chances are we go level on points with Arsenal, who are at Liverpool.

Playing Newcastle at a perfect time; Remy suspended, Tiote injured and Cabaye having just departed without any replacements being brought in.

I'd like a couple of players to be rested but fundamentally a strong side out, we simply can't afford any more slip-ups at home.

My XI: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Ramires, Matic, Lampard; Oscar, Ba, Hazard

But a very slim chance that is the team!

Prediction: CHELSEA 2-0 NEWCASTLE - Ba to score a goal if he plays versus his former club.

COME ON YOU BLUES

Nothing but a win is expected today. At least, I expect that.

John Terry picked up a knock in training apparently. He's ruled out for the game.

That sucks. Shouldn't be that big of a miss against Newcastle though.

Hope it's just a niggle and nothing that'll keep him out for any more than just today.

This is going to go one of two ways, either Newcastle are going to completely fall to bits without any of the players that make them tick (Cabaye at PSG, Remy suspended and Tiote out with a hamstring injury for the next couple of weeks) like they did against Sunderland in what was a flat and unimaginative performance all round

Alternatively they could step up their game for the same reasons and really try to hurt us like they have in the past, especially last season for instance where they did the double over us, but I'm confident Jose knows all of this, like to see a strong performance at home and maybe put a couple past them this afternoon

First PL game that JT will miss this season. Gutted for him, but he could probably use the rest, tbh.

[Jase 43,479]

No Terry today. Meh. Let's hope nothing silly happens with Luiz and Cahill at CB.

[Kunter 22]

The pricks from Sky Austria won´t show the game and I´m not at home to watch a stream.

[Yipo Ran 73]

cech wil take armband?

[Toli 977]

Luiz+Cahill should also be able to cope with De Jong/Ameobi/whoever. And it aint like Luiz is a shit CB by any means...

[edenhazard17 281]

We can do it. Expected Eto'o to score.
