Strike

Can brute force our way back into this. Forget the idea of playing them. Lump it to Giroud, RLC in the second half.

Tentatively an October return. Tough on Billy. Fingers crossed he's back to full fitness

Lewis Bate will be travelling to Sheffield this weekend - Nizaar Kinsella

Reading its a minor knee issue and is going to keep him out for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately the season ends by then.

Midfield picks itself - Jorginho, Mount and Barkley. Christensen should be dropped. Go with Zouma, Rudiger and later Zouma Tomori when he's back

Aaaaaack Greenwood has a good shot on him

Hope Villa can still steal something here. Cant believe the gift United have got

Only The Sun has it so far. Will wait for more journos to report

Tier 4 source alert

Some insights into his playing style. Everything else speaks of a fan in denial^

Waiting for this. 4 games to go and still no permutations/combinations from Jason

Why is Havertz value so high? I hope he is available for less than 60m or we can sweeten the deal with one of our offloads?

6/10 from Gilmour. Started brightly and was leaping over players much taller than him to win headers. Few sloppy passes and absent from his position while defending sometimes. But don't think this was as bad as people are making it out to be. He fought well and was running down Palace players through out.

Yep 1-1. Good enough day for Chelsea 3rd place!

Arsenal are just hoofing it now

Fuck off goal given

Wow VAR checking

Nketiah red card. 16 mins left

Forget AC for the rest of the season. Play Rudi and Zouma (and Tomori if fit )

Gilmour was solid. A bit sloppy but also fought well in the holding role. Jorginho should start the next one though. Looked more assured

Saka is a baller and Em Martinez looks like a solid, brave keeper.

Arsenal lead

Any decent striker gets that last chance and its a goal. We really shouldn't celebrate this win.

Rudiger-Zouma coming in the next game

How did Palace keep cutting through our right side for 10 mins?
