Closed Chelsea vs Wigan

[the Blues 11 19]

Mata needs rest in the worst way so I hope he plays sparingly in the next few matches. Use Malouda, Danny and Drogs and get 3 points.

[Badboy 1,526]

I really don't want to see Mata on the bench either. The guy has basically played the whole season without a rest, i don't really want Ramires to play either.

[diskoviolente 425]

would be a shame losing Romeu after such a short but promissing spell.

Extremely tough month ahead for chelsea. Some very big games very close together. I would take a 1-0 win over both Fulham and Wigan.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Where's Romeu, I thought he was fit?

[Waterfall 893]

Ah...The Good Ol' Times

The Lactic Acid.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Terry and Cole out. Lampard doubtful.

[didierforever 7,349]

cech

iva cahill luiz ryan

mikel essien

drogba

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

If Ryan does get his first league start for Chelsea I expect him to be more offensive minded and play without any fear. This is the time for him.

[kiaretta985 131]

since Cole is injured Ryan has to play, no Bosigwa and no Ferreira on the left.

[Justin_3d 1,140]

I agree, good time to rest some players.

Rest Ivan, Mata and I would love to say Ramires, but not sure if they will rest him.

Go with:

Cech

Bosingwa or Paulo, Cahill, David Luiz, Ryan

Ramires, Essien or Romeu

Sturridge, Meireles, Malouda

Drogba

[Tomo 21,681]

Paulo not Bosingwa please Robbie

Haihz, those were the days...

What was the result of the corresponding fixture last season ?

What was the result of the corresponding fixture last season ?

I know that season we lost to them 2-1 away i think. But if you do mean last season then when we played them at home we beat them 1-0, i'm sure about it, cause Torres blocked Al Habsi's sight and Malouda kicked it into an empty net (pretty much), should of been a foul but we got away with 3 points.

What was the result of the corresponding fixture last season ?

2010/11

Wigan 0-6 Chelsea

Chelsea 1-0 Wigan

2009/10

Wigan 3-1 Chelsea

Chelsea 8-0 Wigan

That 3-1 defeat should serve as a reminder against complacency. We won our first 6 league games under Ancelotti IIRC and then we go to Wigan and just didn't turn up at all.
