Strike

Chilwell ankle. Shit. Hopefully its just a momentary knock.

Tottenham have stopped playing. Changes surely?

Tammy has not attacked any cross well yet

First goal decides this I think. Lampard shouldn't be tempted into taking risks even if its obvious that the current lineup can go side to side in a spell of possession and drop crosses in. Game seems ideal for someone like Pulisic or Havertz to come on later

Not overly worried about this United side.

Yes, even as a free signing Alaba doesn't fit Chelsea's budget and I've read he is looking at Spain, Italy in any case. Thiago Silva-Alaba is not an ideal defense either.Younger CB like Gimenez will likely be our target

Problem with LB signing in particular is that no one playing at a decent level will want to come here and be Chilwell's backup. Either we have to find someone from a smaller league - Tsimikas like - or promote someone like Maatsen in the squad

That moment in the summer when they prioritised Vidal over Tonali for his experience

Hearing voices from training that Cech is still legit good. Want to see him on the pitch in a dead rubber some time this season

Not worried about Werner missing chances. Still having good games and is an engine on that left side.

Even a 0-0 draw keeps us top by goal difference

Sevilla won too but it makes little difference really. A draw in the Sevilla away game will keep Chelsea top I think

What a header at the end! Not many in the world who can leap like that

Not a fan of wholesale changes mentioned so far. There are 4 days of recovery before Spurs

They may be mates. What's disgusting in that?

Great to see Saint Maximin level talent is cake for Reece James. Best of the young bunch at the club !

Top of the league. Time to get a drink and start our Saturdays

How is it only 1-0? Looking good but really should have wrapped this up by now

So fifth choice Rudiger is now 3rd choice and 2nd choice Christensen is now 4th choice. Tomori still in the cold.

Third kit?

Strangely feeling like the team will turn up and not put in the usual Newcastle bogey performance today.

Is there no way to tell broadcasters that the team playing away at Newcastle in a lunchtime kickoff on a Saturday after a week of international games is ridiculous levels of stupid?

Thiago silva mostly sitting out the next one too. This looks headed for a disaster 😅

Chilwell unfortunately is one of the undroppables at the moment. Would play Dave rather than Alonso or Emerson

Liverpool might still find a way to cope. Something like this at Chelsea would end our season hopes
