Agree with most that RLC has to play. Agree with Stats aswell though that Fabregas should start this type of game also. Easy solution: drop Oscar. He hasn't shown anything to warrant a tarting place tbh.

-----------------Bego-----------------

--Ivan---Zouma---Terry---Azpi--

----------------Matic-----------------

--------Fabregas------RLC--------

-Willian---------------------Hazard-

----------------Costa*---------------- *Needs to show a massive improvement in attitude after last week, wouldn't be disappointed to see Pedro though but I think Costa deserves another chance.

(Fabregas can be in the no.10 role if the 4-3-3 is unlikely, it's essentially the same with how deep Fabregas would drop to get space though).

mourinho is too dumb to play that midfield. gotta keep the wonderful pivot

Like I said if the 4-2-3-1 is a must just stick RLC and Matic in the pivot and Fabregas at 10. With the way all 3 of them play it'll be essentially a 4-3-3 anyway.

[MihaiM24 156]

I dont know why you people keep adding RLC in that squad.. just admit it, he wont play a full game this season.. maybe next one. The midfield will be Matic/Fabregas/(Mikel/RLC- Mikel wins)/Oscar/Rambo who cant play

[LAM09 6,555]

Similar line up to Sunday with Remy coming in for Oscar and possibly Baba for Iva

[Special Juan 27,104]

Courtois is selected for the squad tomorrow.

Falcao, Terry and Ramires are all out.

[Viper22 2,418]

My man Tibo is back!!!!

Bego has been really good but will just feel great to have the big Belgian back between the sticks.

[Viper22 2,418]

Matic has a double fracture to his face, his nose and his cheekbone but will play in a mask.

Mourinho says it is too early to consider new contracts for Terry and Ivanovic after Cahill's extension.

Courtois is back fit again. If he doesn't play against Bournemouth he will play against Porto.

He wishes Gary Neville well and hopes that he does well at his new job and calls him a very good pundit but warns him that you cannot "stop the tape" to make movements good in game.

Costa is selected (in the squad). He has trained well and had a good week.

He gave the players permission to go to the nightclub until the early hours and there were 25 players there, not just the 3 pictured. He had a dig at the paps too for only photoing these 3.

Terry, Ramires and Falcao still out.

[Rhino's Skin 972]

Bournemouth have 10 or 11 current injury worries and might have to give 3rd choice keeper a debut.

Hmmmmm...remember Newcastle when similar scenario happened and keeper had a 'worldie' that day

This is one game where I actually expect to see a convincing victory. Games like Norwich, could accept the 1-0 victory as the win was just important. We have some what of a decent spell with majority of our first team available. Bournemouth have 2 of their best players injured with long term injuries. Wilson especially is a huge miss for them. We should be looking to score a few this game.

BTW, might not be everyone's cup of tea but I am quite sure Costa will start tomorrow. Will be a shame on Remy but he always seems to be either injured or unavailable when the perfect chance is there for him to start.

[Special Juan 27,104]

I wouldn't start Costa, I don't think he deserves to start after his petulant bib throwing against Spurs.

[xPetrCechx 13,548]

Terry

[LAM09 6,555]

Happy to hear Thibo is back in the squad, but I would stick with Begovic for now
