Closed Chelsea vs. Newcastle

[generaldane 64]

This team lost 4-0 to Wigan. 4-0.

We should look to beat them with ease, then.

Wigan pretty much beat us as well so that doesn't mean much.

Yes, our goals were offside, but we didn't look like conceding 4.

[Strike 6,961]

hatem ben arfa is a slippery customer. we shouldn't give him space to work with

[generaldane 64]

Yeah there's that too I guess, in any event I expect to crush these fools.

[warnie_666 1,081]

We should beat them considering the form we r in.

[Strike 6,961]

yeah. but at the same time, our defense vs demba ba and papiss demba cisse. worrying

[Spike 12,049]

Let's win by 4-0. I want to rub it in the face of this Geordie I know.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Newcastle will also treat this game as a CUP final.Will be a good game of football,that's for sure.

[DavidEU 2,023]

When was Lamps' last 'rested'? With three big games this week, can see him sitting this one out.

Ivanovic and Ramires back in too please. And fingers crossed RDM will give us some positive news re: Cahill and Luiz today at the press conference.

Cech

Bosingwa Ivanovic Terry Cole

Mikel Meireles

Ramires Mata Kalou

Torres

Believe it was just a one-off. Wouldn't read too much into it. Just get that win tomorrow and I'll be happy.

Lampard was rested in that Arsenal game.

Good point sir. Perhaps even still though, he'd definitely be in my team for the remaining games after this one so.

ivanovic -- hutchinson -- terry -- bertrand

ramires ---------------------------------- kalou

torres

Don't think this is the kind of time to be throwing Hutch into the team to be honest. Premier League full debut against Ben Arfa, Ba and Cisse? Back four will need to be at their best tomorrow.

Very unrealistic lineup and formation.There is no way we'll beat Newcastle without Mata.

[ulsterchelsea 3,213]

For me Torressssss must start, you don't drop the hat trick hero from the previous game PLUS nando must not start against the dippers. As said before he seems to fall apart against them AND its Wembley ,its a final and you know what that means....IT'S DROGBA TIME. Finals aside though this is another massive game and a must win. Wouldn't bet against us on recent form but the geordies will be looking to bounce back. Come on blues

[capriccioso 2,545]

Yep, Torres to start, if he's not having a good time of it, bring on Drogba.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

For me:

Cech

Paulo-Iva-JT-Bertrand

Romeu-Mikel

Rambo-Mata-Danny

Torres

I'd prefer Romeu but Raul is much more likely to start.

Predicting a 3-0 win, COYB!
