At this point Arsenal are more desperate for a player like him. So Madrid may prefer to do a deal with them as they'll be able to negotiate better.

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/520633/Chelsea-news-transfers-Wenger-Rudiger Seems like Arsenal are in talks with him.

Ozil to Bayern could be a good fit. However, they'd have to pay close to 40 million for him. Arsenal generally don't sell their players at a loss.

Out of hospital. That's a relief!

With this United defense I'm pretty sure we'll score, no matter who plays up front.

I wouldn't start Solanke in this one. He can come on once we have the game wrapped up. That way there's less pressure on him. Don't forget, he's still very young and he still has to get used to playing in the team in offical matches. It's not the same as in training.

hamstring, groin, stomach bug....wow does anyone know what is even wrong with the guy?

If the guy moves, he'll probably want to be starting every week. not sure if Chelsea can offer him that.

If the team is doing well, it's the right time to bring youngsters in. I don't think Chelsea need to buy anyone this January barring any major injuries. Besides, we have enough of people out on loan too. Surely, some of those will eventually make the squad.

How bad is Costa's injury currently? No one's actually saying what's wrong with him.

They're waiting on the scan. Remy said he hopes he can play on Sunday.

Phew, looks like at least one striker will be fit for the game. Drogba is just back from injury and played most of the match yesterday. It wouldn't be fair to expect him to play a full match 4 days later. I'd be interested to see United's setup for the match. They've tried to out-attack everyone in games so far and it hasn't paid off. Is Van Gaal going to change his approach for this game?

Awesome performance yesterday. My MOTM.

I hope Costa plays. Would love to see him batter the United defense.

I watched the match till Drogba's penalty and then thought 'I'd better sleep because it's late. Anyway, we'll probably just consolidate our position now'. Man, was I wrong . Great performance all round. And the perfect momentum to carry into the next match.

How long is he going to be out for?

With Remy injured, he will definitely start against United.

The guy's 19. What do you expect. Besides it's after the game. If it was before, it would have mattered.

Bayern, Barca, and Real are always going to be the main contenders for the Champions League. I was referring to which of the English teams had the best chance. And that is without a doubt, Chelsea.

Excellent!

How are the youngsters doing in their match against Maribor?

I'm pretty sure the team is taking this match seriously. I would not want to face Mourinho if we failed to win this one.

Chelsea are the most likely English team to win the Champions League due to their past results. And of course, having a coach who's won the competiton twice before doesn't hurt

I don't think anyone is underestimating Maribor, especially after their two draws. But yeah, they rely more on organisation and frustrating teams. Set pieces are definitely going to be key here.

Don't we all
