Chelsea 2-1 West Brom

[Nic! 301]

Doesn't AVB have given the selection names yet? Not the formation, but just all the players including bench?

[Kieran. 6,317]

Dont know if im on my own but im seriously worried about a upset here

I usually get that feeling when people aren't even considering the opposition, but I think we'll smash 'em.

I don't think we'll see many changes from last weekend. Maybe Anelka for Kalou.

Hoping for a win here, unfortunately i can't see streams on my iPhone I don't think... and i don't have ESPN cos u gotta pay for it alone. I'm expecting the wingers to play poor, but if Anelka us playing on right I have a little faith.

Is this your guess? I hope you're right. That would be fantastic!

[Tortilla9 390]

Nicky Butt says the lineup is:

Hilario, Bosingwa, Alex, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Lampard, Anelka, Torres, Malouda

[EveryHeart 2]

Yes Kalou is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

칼루 집에가

[dodojojo 510]

Meh. Would have liked to have seen a bit more creativity in the midfield. What did they create last week? I guess Anelka will take on the creative bits.

[Tortilla9 390]

Lions Den is not going to be a happy camper with that lineup.

[Badboy 1,526]
