how romabo is still suspended?!

Salah is not on the bench

José is always wary of playing newly-promoted sides so perhaps it's not that much of a surprise.

Unless we are going to sit back-meaning the fullbacks will defend inside the box-this actually leaves us MORE exposed at the back..

I don't know how Schurrle gets a start really.

I can't remember the last game he started and actually did something. His world cup impact came from the bench and his impact here should continue to be from the bench IMO.

But u know, hopefully he turns into Ronaldo for this game.

Away to Stoke where he scored two goals. Away to Fulham he scored three goals. Who exactly is the other choice? Willian? When's the last time he started a game and did anything? When's the last time he started on the bench and did anything?

He doesn't need to be Ronaldo, he needs to be Schurrle.

Strong team. I don't think it will be the easiest game but with this team we really shouldn't be afraid of Burnley. Lets hope for the 3 points!

[The Chels 2,502]

'That Chelsea (team)...' is trending worldwide . A lot of pressure today.

Ramires will miss Chelsea’s final three Premier League games of the season -- against Liverpool, Norwich and Cardiff -- while he will also miss the first league game of the next campaign.

Why shouldnt Filipe be match-fit? he didnt have a WC under his belt and played a big part of our pre-season. If Oscar and Schürrle are already match-fit, Luis should be too. Dont get why we need a defensive-minded LB against a newly promoted team...but well, hopefully we'll win nonetheless.

Go on Chels

https://vine.co/v/MPULnvDpdnQ That's how Cech must feel. Really gutted for the guy, he doesn't deserve this but what can you do...

Wow, a few surprises..... Let's get the three points. Thats what the start is all about!

To be Schurrle is to be inconsistent.

A player shouldn't be in a starting line-up because he scored goals a year ago.

Jose: 'Petr is a fantastic professional and he behaved that way when I told him this morning. For sure he will fight for his place.' #CFC

I fucking loved you mate.

It was bound to happen but no Cech.. That's huge. 10 years. He'll go down as the greatest though. Best Premier League GK of the 00's as well for me.

He finished the season pretty well. We've got a fairly stable defence behind him so why not go with someone who is able to get goals?

Mourinho gets criticised for not starting attacking full-backs, but then gets it for starting a goalscoring winger. Can't win.

And once again, the alternative is Willian.

One more point....Schurrle seems to be great at dead-ball situations all of a sudden. I'm not sure what redeeming features Willian brings to the table. I would say he has nice hair but I'm a fan of Schurrle's bouffant style quiff.

Um, I think he did alright in Chelsea 6-0 Arsenal
