Thats because he kept scoring AGAINST us, now he's scoring FOR us! This must be the most eagerly awaited team news in Premiership history! HURRY UP!

Drogba could be pissed off with the signing, Sulk around the pitch and leave in the summer, Or he could step it up, You never know with him though.

No.

Just over 2 hours to go

This game just got more important, If that was possible.

In fairness though, Mikel and Essien can handle Gerrard and Lucas, people seem to forget, This is the same Michael Essien that complely marked Gerrard, Fabregas and Xavi out of it.

Doing exactly what he needs to do at Bolton, Score goals.

In the last 5 years, I don’t think any two teams have faced each other more times than Chelsea and Liverpool have. There have been seasons when they have faced each other 5 times. Things were getting very predictable between the two and the games started to lose meaning. Last season’s Chelsea and Liverpool game was probably the most eagerly awaited meeting between the two in the league for quite some time, With Chelsea taking the win, and the week after John Terry was lifting the Premiership title. That game at Anfield was the deciding moment in the title race, I doubt any Chelsea fan was sitting down when Drogba took it around Reina to slot into an empty night (Thanks Stevie!) But tomorrow’s game has so much anticipation, it is possibly a more eagerly awaited tie thanks to one man. Fernando Torres. We all know what happened on Monday night, So tomorrow is really a fascinating game. No one knows whether Torres will start or not, Which I think he will, I can’t see us splashing out that sort of cash and not playing him in a big game. David Luiz, is also worth a start I feel. His pace could match that of Liverpool new boy, Luiz Suarez. The Suarez deal is a funny one. Signed for Liverpool so Torres would finally have a world class partner to play upfront with, Fernando went and got one better in Didier Drogba. But Suarez is a tricky customer, Which the experience of JT could be vital. Seeing as a lot of the build up is around our number nine, That could motivate Suarez even more. He could feel he has something to prove, But Torres has something greater. Fernando has a £50,000,000 price tag to live up to, The major success in shirt sales since he signed, and he has to prove to the Liverpool fans that he was right to move. For the first time in a while, We might not see the 4-3-3 system, To accommodate our new striker. Talks of the 4-4-2 Diamond, 4-3-1-2, 4-4-2 and 4-3-2-1 being thrown around. The most effective one I feel would be the 4-3-1-2, With Anelka playing behind. This is also a position that Florent Malouda could play in if Carlo wants to leave out Drogba or Torres. Certainly both Anelka and Malouda’s pace could really add something to our build up, they could inject pace into it, both have quick feet, both can finish well but they also can shoot from distance. The decision whether to start Luiz and drop either Bosingwa or Ivanovic is a tough one for Ancelloti, but I have a feeling he will be brave and thrown Luiz into the mix. Liverpool themselves have a few selection headaches, Jamie Carragher just back from injury could start, and there likely to put the young English left back Martin Kelly expected to start. They seem to play 4-4-2 under Daglish, But they’ll probably play a midfield three tomorrow, with Gerrard, Lucas and Meireles who has been impressive of late. Predicted line ups: Chelsea: Cech Ivanovic – Luiz – Terry – Cole Lampard – Mikel – Essien Anelka Drogba – Torres Liverpool: Reina Kelly – Carragher – Skertel – Johnson Gerrard – Lucas – Meireles Kuyt – Suarez – Aurelio The Key of the game will more than likely be the midfield. If Lucas, Gerrard and Meireles can get the better of our midfield three, They have the chance to rattle us and nick a goal. Quick ball up to their front three and they can make things happen, Especially Suarez who has something to prove. For us, the midfield will be vital, Essien really needs to step it up. The Torres and Drogba partenership, If they both start will be interesting, Because if they click they have the potential to be the best in world football. While I do think Liverpool are a completely changed team from under Hodgson, I feel that Chelsea will have too much for them. The additions of Luiz and Torres could really lift the team, And If Nicolas Anelka has a game like he did against Sunderland, and plays behind the front two, Lucas could have a long game ahead of him. If Carragher starts, Its an area which could be exploited, If he does, as the game wears on expect Kalou to be brought in, he could really exploit him with his pace. The power of Chelsea’s strikeforce against the Liverpool defence, along with a better midfield will be too much in my opinion. Predicition: Chelsea 2 – 0 Liverpool, with Drogba with both.

He clearly had a great bond with the Liverpool fans, So it just adds that extra bit of class that he wouldn't celebrate. If Drogba moved to Liverpool on Monday and scored for them tomorrow, You wouldn't expect him to Celebrate.

Welcome to the forum mate and your right, This place has really taken off, Fair do's to Jim, Alex and Steve

Welcome, Stick around and KTBFFH

Hard to say, But I'd say he will. He's been here since Monday now and trained with the team a couple of times, and you don't pay 50 million to play him on the bench.

In fairness, Nando could have shut his mouth since moving. Most players that move from rival clubs don't come out and say things like he did.

Yes we will! Ok sorry, But can you please come here at about half 6 on Sunday?

Do you find the demise of your shit club as funny as we do?

11 pages already and still two days before the game

Take care, KTBFFH

Nex round of games is vital!

Lmao, When I first read that I thought "Why the fuck is he saying come on Torres"? This going to take some getting used too

Cech Ferriera - Carvalho - Terry - Cole Makelele Robben - Lampard - Zola Drogba - Gudjohson

Forget Liverpool ffs, This is all about us, I feel Luiz has to start as he could match Suarez's pace, and Terry will fucking murder him if he gets the chance.

Torres signing won't sink in until we see him passing the ball to Lamps and co on Sunday, Cannot wait, COME ON CHELS! KTBFFH

His name is Nando Torres, He's Chelsea's number 9, Give him half a chance and he'll score every time, He used to play in Anfield, But realised they were shite, And with new our number nine, We're fucking dynamte!

Thats how you prove a point, Sturridge and Anelka stepping it up since Nando came in

Would love to see Torres scoring and running over with his finger to his lips
