Closed Chelsea v West Brom

[NishC300 1,865]

Got to get 3 points since there's a title game on Sunday. No need for changes except resting Oscar for Mata. According to the Physio Room it doesn't seem like Bertrand will be able to play. Also bringing on KDB if we are leading would be nice.

I doubt Oscar will get rested ahead of the international break, his rest game will probably be the West Ham game after his international exploits.

Team I'd like to see as well. Maybe Cahill in for Luiz but that's about it.

[Jase 43,479]

Here's two funny stats..

1. The 14 previous Premier League meetings between Chelsea and West Brom have seen a total of 13 managers take part (via Daily Mail).

2. John Gregory(QPR), Chris Hughton(Newcastle), Andre Villas-Boas(Chelsea), Mick McCarthy(Wolves), Roberto Di Matteo(Chelsea) and Paolo di Canio(Sunderland) have all been sacked following league defeats to West Brom.

Why does it say this game is on skys sports 2. It surely can't be if its on at 3.

Apologies. It's a mistake there. The game is indeed not on Sky Sports 2..

Willian and Hazard please. Closest we have to the kind of double threat on both wings that some of the best teams in Europe have.

[the Blues 11 19]

I hope we go with something like

Cech

Dave Cahill Terry Cole

Rami Oscar Mikel

Willian Mata Eto'o

Tough game, but expecting us to get 3 points.

Cole.

afraid not, he's been poor this season in my opinion. Ryan has been fantastic when called upon and offers us a lot more going forward, which lets face it were going to be the dominant force tomorrow at home.

Apologies. It's a mistake there. The game is indeed not on Sky Sports 2..

One question: The match report reads it is on BBC ONE, which is free tv,. Why should sky sports 2, which is pay tv I assume,broadcast the match,too ?

Edit: never mind, saw it is only on BBC ONE

Edit2:

Anyway, how are the broadcasting concessions spread in UK, when there are 2 pay-tv companies and one public tv corporation fighting for the rights. How much does it cost to be able to see every EPL and CL match u want ?

I would like to see this team.

[Pizy 18,323]

I hate when we play early on Saturday. Like last week, if we lose I'm depressed for the rest of the weekend and don't want to watch any other football.

I'm gonna go ballistic if we lose. May put a hole through my tv.

[robsblubot 3,463]

Why is this a tough game? It's certainly not a walk, but I'd not call it tough.

Tough is United, City, Arsenal, and Tottenham these days... especially @ the bridge. If we call a match against WBU at home tough, we might not be contenders then.

Let me put is this way: if we lose it, it's a freaking disaster; if we tie, it's a bad result.

[The_Flash 1,144]

We need to not go with the attitude that 'we are going to win' . We need the 3 points.
