closed Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal

[the wes 7,212]

I couldn't face another Kante and fabregas midfield duo if It was me has the coach I would drop fabregas and replace him with christensen or Baker 

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

No Hazard and no Pedro = 352 for me.

Not sure who the other CM would be though....

[Special Juan 27,093]

Pre season over, this is where it starts. Enough of the lame excuses as to why we didn't win or all that shite, this is it now Wembley against the enemy. Charity Shield or not, we need to win this.

I hate losing whether it's pre season, CS or the dog shit cup, win and nothing else.

THIS IS THE REAL TEST!

Conte has warned us of a repeat of the 2015/16 season. Ironically that one kicked off at this exact fixture. I pray that history will not repeat itself. But if so no one can say the writing has not been on the wall for moths.

Thanks for reminding!

I cant watch this game(first PL game either) and i have bad feeling about Arsenal match. Without new RWB/LWB it code be start of the end of 3-4-3 :/

From other side if we score first it can end good.
I bet 2-1

[Magic Lamps 11,446]

My faint hope is that Conte has tried Morata on the wing of a 3-4-3 to confound Arsenal and start him as pure striker in a new formation like 3-5-2 or 4-2-4 this weekend.  I really want him to score to get the monkey of his back.

The FA said it is the other way round. 

[Henrique 9,133]

Despite what Conte said this is a pre season game. 

[jernej93 565]

l know it is impossible but I would love this lineup:

Courtois
Rudiger - Luiz - Christensen
Azpi - Kante - Fabregas - Alonso
Musonda - Morata - Willian

[Pizy 17,860]

Yeah, there's no chance Captain Cahill is getting dropped any time soon. 

[LAM09 6,535]

Hope Conte makes a few surprise choices. Musonda impressed me more in his cameo that quite a few did in the other games combined.

If, after 90 minutes, the scores are level, the game will be decided by a penalty shoot-out and a new system, which is aimed at being fairer on the team taking the second spot-kick, will be trialled.

The system is based on the format used in tennis tie-breaks, with the team taking the first kick in each pair of kicks alternating, so AB-BA-AB-BA and so on instead of AB-AB-AB-AB etc.

 

[bluephoenix 1,125]

I hope we can see Morata play as a striker in this one. 

Is Hazard/Bakayoko/ Pedro available for this one?

 

[Chelsea_firstlove 178]

No Hazard, why do we still play 343?

424 IMO:

Rudiger-Luiz-Cahill-Azpilicueta

Fabregas-Kante

Willian-Batshuayi-Morata-Pedro
