The League is back!!!! Dear how I am looking forward to it!

Hopefully, hopefully there will be no injuries in the international friendly games.

[Ankit 3,176]

Chelsea have won 7 of their last 8 home matches in the Premier League.

Chelsea have scored at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 home matches in the Premier League.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

I think We should start

Cech

Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole

Ramires - Van Ginkel

De Bruyne - Oscar/Mata - Hazard

Lukaku

If Luiz isnt fit enough to start then Cahill will of course play and if Mata isnt fit then Oscar will play.

Chelsea 5 Hull 0

Lukaku x2

De Bruyne

Hazard

Ivanovic

U mean Hull City 'Tigers'

[hjperdeath 2,226]

FINALLY ! :blue scalf:

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Prediction: Chelsea 3-0 Hull City

[BlueLion. 21,491]

^ 5-0? Not a chance. Hull have absolutely nothing to lose and yet have the chance of causing a major upset. They will go hammer and tongs at this game to prove themselves.

Games on the opening day against newly-promoted sides have never been easy. Ever.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

[Hutcho 8,443]

Yay. No more friendlies. Just the real thing.

[Kezza 1,965]

What I'm looking forward to most is the reception that Jose is gonna receive! The bridge is gonna go off!

[1chelsea 864]

Welcome back to BPL, WELCOME back JOSE LET the league BEGING

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Too bloody excited.

One game at a time and we have enough players for rotation. Hopefully we gain a level of consistency as we always tend to do well at the start then drift around Dec-Feb.

-----------Lukaku-------------

Hazard---Mata---DeBryune

--VanGinkel--Ramires------

Cole----------------Azpilicueta

--------Terry---Luiz------------

-------------Cech-----------------

My first choice

[Stats 6,911]

I would like to see this team played. I would not mind Cahill playing alongside Luiz or Terry for this match as I think these are games he tends to thrive in. I would like to see Moses start based on pre-season form and same goes with MVG. If Mata is unfit, i guess play Oscar in the middle however I trust Mourinho with any of the attacking options he decides to choose for this match. COYB!

Cech

Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole

Ramires - Van Ginkel

De Bruyne - Mata - Hazard

Lukaku

[yuvala 2,167]

cant wait !!

Would also go for:

-----------Lukaku-------------

Hazard---Mata---DeBryune

--VanGinkel--Ramires------

Cole----------------Azpilicueta

--------Terry---Luiz------------

-------------Cech-----------------

Although I have a feeling that Lamps will play.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Hoping for the our first 3 points after 6 wins and a loss Exciting!!!

Mourinho can make the Lamps-Rami pivot work

We did not 'scrape' 3 points. It was world-class quality from Drogba that won us the match.
