To be honest, even i am not too sure about it. I don't know if i am missing anything but does he have 3 PL yellows and 1 COC yellow or is it 4 PL yelllows and 1 COC yellow? I guess i am wrong because if Luiz was suspended, the news would have comeout somehow but it hasn't.
Luiz will be suspended for this match after picking up his 5th yellow. Although i am not sure about it but if true, we will get to see Azpi at RB again. Luiz needed a rest so i would say it's a blessing in disguise.
They haven't looked anywhere close to what they were in the last season when it comes to defense. Have been leaking goals but i saw the whole City match last weekend and they had City on the ropes.Had it not been Hart, Swansea would have scored at least 2 goals against City. Michu is a very clever player who makes those incisive runs at the back of the defenders. He has been playing as CF i guess for the past 2 matches which goes to show they don't really have very good CFs. One thing that can work in our favor is that Laudrup likes his team to play the same charismatic style no matter the opposition so that may open up spaces for our front 3 or 4(if you want to include Torres at your own peril ) unlike other mid table team who would sit deep and wait for our mistakes. I predict a very entertaining match with at least 4 goals, hopefully in our favor.
Chelsea Youth @chelseayouth Ashley Cole unavailable tomorrow, injured. Lucas Piazon is fit and available. Aké or Saville therefore potentially on the bench. @JackSaville: So proud of my baby bro @GeorgeSav_ .. Making the squad vs united tomorrow night.. Literally buzzing my ballls off!
Oscar on twitter - It's hard to play when the referee to be the protagonist of the show, unfortunately q we play against him. Someone get Ashley Cole online.
David Moyes on Mike Riley: "A member of the press asked me if Mike Riley was a Man United supporter and I think that's something you would need to bring up with the FA." Stats: Mike Riley is the referee who ended our 49games unbeaten run.10 penalties awarded to the home side (ManU) in 14 games. Current job: Decides which premier league games to assign to referees. There you go gentlemen.
Red nose will use the standard tactic of Valencia high up on Cole and play through their inside left from Ivanovic's side. This shit always works, has worked for them and we will be left wanting for width while they nick a sneaky goal. Against Chelsea their approach is different from random crossing, it comes with a pattern. Apart from one Chickpea cunt header last season, they play through Chelsea's weakness of not having width and having Ivanovic as RB. We have to exploit their left flank.
Di Matteo says Sunday's game is too early to be decisive in the title race but the team is in good shape and reacts well to defeat. #CFC RDM says Chelsea FC are supporting the Kick It Out campaign but wearing t-shirts on Sunday will be an individual choice. #CFC RDM reports Frank Lampard wlll be out for a couple of weeks with his calf injury.

We just have to beat Shakhtar at the bridge. I also think we can beat Juve in turin. The game at bridge vs juve came too early in the season, the team has been gelling well since and we should win the match if we apply ourselves properly. But before all that just have to beat Shakhtar at home. That will really open our group with Juve still to travel to dombass arena!!
