It's a cop out from Conte. Just a ridiculous cop out. And I don't want to hear that bullshit of Alonso isn't "ready" for a big game. Well neither is Ivanovic! 

Ready in a sense that before Tuesday, last time Alonso played a full game was a month ago. Ivanovic has been playing all season, albeit dreadfully. Nevertheless, Alonso hasn't had the chance to play with the team and there might be question marks over his current fitness levels. And that is all because of Conte. IMO, Alonso should have already couple games under his belt at this point.

Some are making Alonso look like a fucking 18 year old debutant, prefering Ivanovic to play. FFS

Arsenal are expected to ine up in the following 4-2-3-1 formation:

Cech; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Coquelin, Cazorla; Walcott, Ozil, Iwobi; Sanchez.  

Subs: Ospina, Gibbs, Holding, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xhaka, Giroud, Perez.

Also, think it's pretty much confirmed Abramovic is having a say if Ivanovic plays or not.

Not having that. Just think that he must be a huge influence in the dressing room and he probably does very well in training. A good leader and all that. It fools Conte (and the previous two managers over the last couple seasons) into believing he's good enough.

Then he actually plays and costs us goals.

I think if he fails spectacularly here he'll finally be dropped. Two poor showings against our two toughest opponents back to back will have the fans screaming.

I can see us winning this. Glad to see that Coquelin and Cazorla are starting instead of Xhaka. Also glad that Sanchez is playing up top, as he often looks like a lost puppy up there.

I am a huge fan of playing attacking fullbacks, and would  love to see Azpi on the right with Alonso on the left, but for this game I think Ivanovic may be a great guy to have on the set pieces. I hope he can deal with Iwobi though, and the pace is the only thing I am worried about here.

With Kante and Matic playing holding and providing that extra security, hopefully Fabregas can show his creativity here. Fully expect Costa and Hazard to have some clear cut chances.

3-1 -- Costa and Hazard goals from open plays, and Ivanovic from the corner!

Come on Chelsea!
