Closed Chelsea vs Hull City

[NishC300 1,865]

Got to keep in mind that we have 3 matches in a space of 8 days! It's like last season all over again!

Why are you complaining? It's fantastic for us fans. After a traumatic 2 months, football returns. The more, the merrier!!

We have the squad depth too this time to manage the fixture congestion!

hmm, but it'd still be better if we had only 2.

Monday Night Football with Man United? Weird. Usually our games are in the afternoon.

I agree that our game against Utd should have been on a weekend! Don't know the concept behind Sky's decision in doing that!

I prefer it. I've got Summer Holidays

[Billy. 2,742]

Cech, Dave, Brana, Luiz, Cole, Van Ginkel, Rambo, Mata, Hazard Schurrle, Lukaku

Except this time we have a much stronger squad to deal with it!

Don't see a problem with it. After a long summer with no football I think its brilliant to get back in the running of things with 3 games in 8 days. These are professional footballers who are able to deal with it, and it gives us a great chance to build momentum heading into the United game.

We've had loads of games against United at night time in the past few seasons. The two Champions League ties, The Sunday game last year was dark because of what time of year it was. The midweek one where Luiz and Lampard scored and we won 2-1. The Carling Cup game aswell.

I prefer Monday Night Football big games to be honest. Atmosphere is much better at night time games aswell.

Yea games @ Night r awesome. The atmosphere is amazing. Problem is it's at Old Trafford (but u'll only hear our fans anyway). 3 night games in a row! Villa, United and Bayern!

Except this time we have a much stronger squad to deal with it!

Thankfully

Wonder who will start out of Ba and Lukaku? After Jose's comments about Torres struggling against teams that will play deep he will completely contradict himself playing Torres for this one.

Ba has been bad throughout pre-season. I think Lukaku will get the nod.

I'd be very surprised if Lukaku didn't start.

[Spenzy2010 8]

I still think we really do need a world class striker,I don't trust torres and ba would do a good job. They just don't fit in. Worried!!!!! But hopeful.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Definitely would start Romelu.

[Jusek 2,031]

Lukaku scored 5 preseason goals, he deserves to start.

I can't see us losing against Utd if the ref does not help them massively anyway. Since 2011 they have only beaten us once in 6 encounters and we all know how that happened. We were better than them in any of these last 6 matches, we got the better team all over the place. Mark RvP and victory surely will be ours.
