I don't think anyone would be 'Rested ' for this match. The 'rest' will come in the 1st match of CWC!!

Chelsea have won 14 of their last 15 matches against Sunderland in all competitions.

We play Sunderland(A), Soton(H), Villa(H) in our next 3 fixtures. Spurs play Everton(A), Swansea(H), Stoke(H) West Brom play Arsenal(A), West Ham(H),Norwich(H) Everton play Spurs(H), Stoke(A), West ham(A).

Well, i was just thinking about the Manchester derby. What would suit us more(Considering we win first). A city win and we will be 7 points behind the leaders. A Utd win and we will be 4 points behind 2nd place. What could be more tempting in the long run?

Happy Birthday Captain!!

Mikel will miss games against Sunderland [PL], Leeds United [Capital One Cup] and Aston Villa [PL]

I want us to win this so that we can have another crack at UEFA super cup.

Rest assured these bitches will be parking the bus from 1st minute, looking for a draw!!

It was night like these where he stood up and everyone kneeled in front of him.

Shakhtar Donetsk have won all their last 16 home games in all competition. Make it 17, please i beg you! I will personally ask Roman to gift every Donetsk player the best of Russians girls.

So this is Shakthar last match before they go on a winter break till february. Come on donetsk, celebrate your Christmas holidays with a win. We are all with you.

Downlaod link for the ITV's documentary please!!

West ham vs Man Utd eh? It reminds me of the greatest shot ever taken in the history of football.

Eduardo Lara (U17 coach of Falcao): "Radamel can drop back into midfield and play with players like Eden Hazard, Juan Mata and Oscar." Lara: "I have no doubt at all that Falcao would fit into that team and that Rafa Benítez would get the best out of him."-Twitter

With a decent striker and JT fit, we would have walked this league so far - I'm quite sure about that. Only conjecture, I know but this league is there for the taking.

@BluesChronicle Benitez asked if he fears for his job. He looks sullen and seems to choke on his words. Doesn't give an answer. good signs

3rd game in a row that a fucking Daily Mail journo leaks our lineup days before kickoff. Something is not bloody right here!!!

RB "We had more possession in the second game, we are improving and going in the right direction" #CFC RB "We analyse every player, not just Fernando, we try to improve everyone" #CFC RB "We need to manage the squad well, & give minutes to different players, as there are a lot of games at the moment" #CFC RB "It's too soon for me to be thinking about Lukaku, maybe in a couple of games" RB "West Ham are a good side, it will be a tough game" RB "We can't train too hard before or just after a game so we have been working on tactical play, and getting more organised" RB "Chelsea is a top side but we have to show our opposition and fans this on the pitch" RB says that the @ChampionsLeague game on Weds may be too soon for John Terry

Sorry, My bad! But we can still expect everton to knick a point.

Considering City are away to Everton and Utd are away to Reading this weekend, there is a definite chance for City to drop points but Reading could also be a bit of a banana skin for Utd. We have to win our match somehow! We just cannot slip up. Look at our form, it's cringe worthy. Arrgghhh. .

All said and done, After all these years the ghost of Ferreira still sits on Chelsea bench.
