scoreline elsewhere looks just the way I hoped to see. Spurs down a goal, Liverpool down a goal. Come on Chelsea let us do this....

That is good, the matches were we are all pumped up from the start of the whistle we kind of end on a good note. Hopefully we unsettle City early on.

how have we been so far? How we start kind of dictates roughly how the match will head.

We win and Spurs to lose. 10 point difference maintained, Now that would be a wonderful world to live in

We will never have unless we spend time getting someone to be at that level. A replacement for a starting 11 would never want to be on the bench and that is why Lukaku left. You need to give him equal number of chances. And yes one or 2 starts after long periods of sitting on the bench in FA cup doesn't count.

That will never happen. I don't think Conte(or any manager) will be willing to make wholesale changes for a big match. Chalobah has hadn't too much PL game time and same for Ake(as much as I would like to see him start). Costa shouldn't start if Costa doesn't have his head straight. We can't have him pull the team down with him.

That is what gets them the rating. Fancy titles to lure every reader into clicking and reading yet another worthless article that doesn't provide anything useful. Skysports should be labelled skyfail. Skysports has always been my go to place for football related news but they don't provide enough substance in the article. It feels like they stitch together tweets to make an article.

I am seeing a lot of these lately *sighs* every match is important till the title is in the bag After failing to capitalize on the early goal against Palace and not being able to find an equalizer I am nervy about this match. City is a very good team. If Costa is going to play like shit the way he played against Palace can't see us bagging a point let alone a victory. It is very clear that we need Hazard and Costa to be in a firing mode or else we need pots of luck to over come city. Wasted chances in front of goal is something we can't afford at this point with the competition catching up to us.

You got to be kidding it couldn't have been any easier. COSTAAAAAA!

International break has screwed it for us

that too

FFS don't lose at home

Lets not start that all over. He is no longer with us. We made a lot of bad decisions with transfers (Mata(debatable), KDB, Lukaku, Luiz(in the first place))

Going after someone who in the first place should have never left. But the guy has potential, sign him already. We need a good replacement for Costa. Lukaku is perfect given that he is young and has solid goal scoring record in PL. We could have easily developed Lukaku to this level(pisses me that the club couldn't/doesn't do this for the young talent we have/had)

My bad then. Guess I judged him by his looks and the fact that he didn't want to join us ... hahahaha.

Frankly I am so happy he is a flop so far and hope he stays that way. I hate the attitude of that guy! I feel he has way too much head weight.

I was just fearful that Costa would be wasteful and he was. I am scared and also happy that we got Spurs. Time to show spurs their place. They are have come too far beyond the place they should be in But it would be a tough fight. Spurs are the one team who have been able to unsettle Conte's tactics in both the games that we played so far.

One of those nervy days at office where I can just follow the match via skysports live feed. Glad we won and we are facing Spurs. Time for payback and it better be Big

I don't know why but I am scared about this game. I want us to really win this game. Hope Diego is up for it, and isn't anything like he was against Spurs ( that match scares me every time we face big team)

This seems to be common concern/fear every time we drop points. Wonder what it would take for us to not have that feeling?

Hazards goal was just mesmerizing. Alonso and Fab took their chances well. Good win. KTBFFH Very happy about the result.

He probably knows how important and how much Chelsea fans would savor goal against arsenal

I can't believe we squandered a one goal lead to draw against them.

Glad with the win and happy to see young lads partake in it. Bats needs to work on his finishing, his movement and positioning is good but he isn't converting as much as he is supposed to. I don't know if anyone else felt it but I felt a little sad for Ivanovic, I was among the many who didn't want to see him on pitch given how horribly he defended last season and cost of so many goals. Knowing that this is going to be his last season just felt a emotional about the good times when we wanted to see more of him on the pitch many seasons ago. Was happy with RLC too but I just felt he went for glory when he could have just passed it to someone else( can understand his desire to please and prove himself).
