Milan 17,956 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 That's not home Champions of Europe should be thinking. A draw at home? We need our home form to be proud of and something we can rely on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotetochelsea 3 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Match pointers• Newcastle ended a run of 18 league games without a victory at Chelsea with their 2-0 win here at last season• Eden Hazard has scored 11 goals and assisted 12 in his last 16 appearances for Lille and Chelsea combined• Only Manchester City (47) and Manchester United (44) have picked up more points than Newcastle (38) in 2012• No defender has scored more top-flight goals since 2010-11 than Branislav Ivanovic (nine)• Newcastle have scored a total of 998 goals in the Premier League since 1992The third point is worrying, just like the last one as they are looking for their 1000th goal. However, according to the fourth point, Ivan will save us with a goal set up by Eden. MATCH FACTS Newcastle ended a run of 18 league games without a win at Stamford Bridge when they beat the Blues 2-0 in May 2012. The Magpies also ended a run of no wins in nine in the league against the Londoners with that victory. There has been a 90th minute goal in each of the last three Premier League games between Chelsea and Newcastle. Only Man City (47) and Man Utd (44) have picked up more points than Newcastle United in 2012 (38). Newcastle have only failed to score in two of their last 17 Premier League away games. No Premier League referee has given more penalties since the start of last season than Phil Dowd (12). Newcastle have scored 998 goals in Premier League history. Papiss Demba Cisse has scored 13 goals in 15 Premier League games for Newcastle, but he has gone three games without a goal since netting a brace against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Eden Hazard has won more penalties in the top five European Leagues (France, England, Spain, Italy & Germany) than any other player since the start of last season (8). Hazard has scored 11 goals and assisted 12 (23 goals involved in) in his last 16 league appearances for Lille and Chelsea combined. No defender has scored more goals in the Premier League since 2010-11 than Branislav Ivanovic (9)MATCH FACTSHead-to-headNewcastle's 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge on 2 May was their first league victory away to Chelsea since 1986.The Magpies are now unbeaten in their last four league and cup matches at Chelsea (W2, D2).

The Rising Sun 711 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hoping for a win today.I know we will score, it all depends on how our defense and DM'S cope with Newcastle, as if We are not on top form defensively, Newcastle's quality will punish us.I really think due to our defense not being great in the last 2 games, we really would have got punished if we were playing Newcastle/totenham type of a team instead of reading/wigan.Now today we are playing Newcastle, and while we will score goals, if our defense is as disjointed as the last 2 games, i can see a draw or even a loss as a possibility.However, we still are favourites.

Jype 6,398 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 cesar or moses on the bench? anyone can confirm?Neither of them. They weren't registered to the squad in time to make it to this game and even if they had, I doubt Di Matteo would have taken either of them anyway because they haven't yet trained enough with the rest of the team. Azpi has one training session and Moses has none. I think both of them are involved in the Uefa Super Cup next week against Atlético Madrid.edit: Slow as fuck, two guys beat me to it.

Keikoismad 162 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I would like to see Oscar Mata and Hazard and imo Torres should start with Danny as a good sub.and by the way, am i the only one who feels annoyed by Cech's goalkeeping lately?

He's still a world class keeper, his performance in the Semi and Final of the UCL last year proved that moreso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Azpilicueta might be on the bench since he was already signed on Thursday and already trained with the team in the afternoon yesterday.

DavidEU 2,023 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Any confirmation? Any link?Chelsea TV said Azpi's paperwork wasn't completed and sent in time for the deadline to play. And if thats the case, neither will Victors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
