Spuds ain't beating Liverpool. We may as well forget about that. Arsenal I have a bit more hope with. Think they could eek out a draw.

Liverpoo = overrated. Their only half decent player is Suarez but the rest of their team is about as good as Bursaspor

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Optimistic..

More likely than Arsenal drawing with City.

[LeonDavis23 371]

heard nothing about it ... means yes!

Eto'o never does much in away games anyway, but at the bridge

Suarez and Sturridge should rip that terrible Spuds high line apart. Think they'll win 4-1.

they're only 1 point away so lets pray they get a draw at least

[Special Juan 27,429]

Spurs win at Liverpool....

[Sheva. 5,373]

Liverpool defence is terrible. Tottenham can take a point there.

Tottenham can't score, and can't stop other teams from scoring. It's really a joke.

Crystal Palace v Chelsea Match Preview

[boshman 1,073]

The longer this stays 0-0 the harder it will be to break them down IMO.

Nice early goal and a comfortable 3/4-0 would be lovely.

Cech,

Iva, Cahill, JT, Azpi,

Matic, Luiz,

Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard,

Torres

[Caeruleus 1,148]

I wanna believe that Mou's choice for attacking zone will be

Him...

or him...

Not Torres.

Early goal. Most important thing. We might be able to set the tone for the week. Put pool and city under some pressure.

Hazard and Ramires are divers! take it or leave it, Hazard was planted around the 18 yard boxed to commit players, admitedly he is skilfull and fast, but mourinho often get closer to the line officials and often complains of any touch on him by raising his arm thereby putting officials under pressure to create a yellow card, or award free kick. Unfortunately Mourinho planted hazard to create fear of the untouchable in the minds of defenders because if he falls 5 times they will award foul 5 times.

i think the premiership referees are psyched by Mourinho's tactics that they give his team more advantages than others, ironically if you have a player like hazard in another team mourinho will create close defenders who will often be marking him and if the referee blows anyhow he complains and will even tag hazard 'a diver' just the way he tag ronaldo a diver in man utd, but in real madrid he enjoyed ronaldo's diving to his credit

it is a shame that no coach in premiership can voice their opinion on favouritism that mourinho enjoys

i dont expect chelsea fans to agree with me pls. i expect rantings from them because they hate the truth.they will start asking which team i support, i support Chelsea ofcourse lol. but that is the truth! take it or leave it

An early goal is always crucial in a game like this. It forces the opposition to attack more than they otherwise would, which is perfect for our team with its strong defensive and counter attacking abilities.

[Mohammed Seif 1,451]

I'd play Ba instead of Torres.

That would be another option we have, whether he plays or not, I would like our forwards to score those chances. We have to finish the season strong regardless of what position we end.

[didierforever 7,349]

Liverpool defence is terrible. Tottenham can take a point there.

Depends on the tactics they use. If spurs actually concede ground to pool and go on the counter, I can definitely see pool having a hard time. But spurs and sherwood have been naive in their tactics. I mean look at the goal conceded by them in the NLD and that is a sacred match for those guys. 1st minute that too.

[Pizy 18,368]

Damn our black kit looks sick.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

I would still play Torres ahead of Ba to be honest, might even be tempted to play Schurrle there
