I think Salah will start this one too .. the players must be drained after pouring their hearts against PSG ... Matic is a must with more Luiz please!

since Hazard is injured I think Oscar and Schurrle will start .. Willian needs a rest and could be subbed to boost our side ... Eto'o .. back five

it will be amazing to see a series of back-to-back wins till the end of the season

simply the plan from now on is " just play like the PSG game and winning it all will be inevitable! "

We can rotate most of the front 6 at least.

Back five picks itself. Then:

Ramires Matic

Salah Oscar Schurrle

Torres

[Green Lantern18 54]

As much as i hate to say it, this match could be yet another banana skin for us. Because we only seem to beat Swansea at Stamford Bridge, and according to this we have only ever beaten them away from Stamford Bridge on 2 occasions. But as we know records are made to be broken, so i hope that's what happens here.

tough game. hope we can win and keep our title hopes up and running.

cech

azpi GC JT AC

matic rambo

salah oscar schurrle

etoo/ba

cole needs some game time before playing the first leg of CL semis. luiz and willian would literally have been half dead by the end of the game. a deserved rest. etoo/ba should start. please no torres.

[Special Juan 27,429]

They are miles away from the team they where last season. Get at them and this shouldn't be a worry.

0-2

[Jusek 2,031]

16:07, what a weird kick-off time.

16:07, what a weird kick-off time.

i think its because of hillsborough

Ivan Cahill Terry Azpi

Matic D. Luiz

Salah Willian Schurrle

Eto'o / D. Ba

So much pace in that band of 3...a couple of early goals would be nice.

I would start Ba not Eto. By all means not beacuse he scored last night, but I feel Eto pushed himself yesterday. The guy just came out of injury and played a full, tough match as the Cameroonian lion he is. I would give him the second half if it was necessary only for this reason. I know the stakes are high, but we are still in the UCL too

They'll put in the performance of a lifetime just because they're playing against us, the cunts, then roll over for the next two months, á la Villa.

[ZOS 580]

the return of matic and salah is such a boost

[kellzfresh 7,229]

I think Salah will start this one too .. the players must be drained after pouring their hearts against PSG ... Matic is a must with more Luiz please!

since Hazard is injured I think Oscar and Schurrle will start .. Willian needs a rest and could be subbed to boost our side ... Eto'o .. back five

it will be amazing to see a series of back-to-back wins till the end of the season

simply the plan from now on is " just play like the PSG game and winning it all will be inevitable! "

Unfortunately luiz is better for the big games so he shouldn't play imo.

Matic-lampard pivot has worked for small games

Willian needs a rest, he must be knackered after yesterday, so

Salah - oscar - schurrle (everyone in their true positions)

With Ba upfront (we can't afford to start with torres again, and ba deserves a chance)

Hopefully, liverpool win city and put us strongly back into the title race, then we win here 2-0

[Reddish-Blue 2,347]

Hope Ashley Cole and Salah get to start....the rest of the team picks itself

Prediction: Swansea 1-2 Chelsea

[Jase 43,479]

Right. Back to league action and it's time we sort out our away form and poor record at Swansea in the last two seasons!
