Laylabelle 9,535 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 May only be the EFL Cup but hey same sort of performance trophies a trophy and knocking West Ham out be even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyBlue96 990 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Only EFL cup but still a derby and having the possibility to knock out those scumbags would be lovely. Bats as striker. Diego some rest. Beware that Diego is just one booking away from a matchban. Next game is against Southampton so if he gets booked then he misses the home match against Everton which will be a difficult match I think. I trust Batshuayi but Costa is in a very good form. Willian back as RW. Pedro some rest? Or Willian back in the Southampton game and Pedro in the WHU-game... Wonder what Conte will do. Same goes for Eden and Moses. Chalobah midfield with Fab/Oscar. Terry for Cahill/Luiz/Dave. Give one of them some rest. Bego for T-bo obviously. Think we'll manage. West Ham has been a bit poor lately. Can change anytime but still. Main focus should be and would be on Southampton. Difficult away game I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jernej93 569 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Batshuayi, Chalobah, RLC and Aina should play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tautvix 1,321 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Will anyone show this game on TV? Because Manchester derby will be on Sky that day and if Sky Sports don't show this cup it's always a struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Kaplan- 410 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 They've won their last two games I believe. Must be regaining their confidence like us. I think we have more depth than they do; our second team should win. Should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulvhedin 526 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Tough choice for Conte, his squad selection and formation started to click and Im not sure he wants to disrupt the flow. However Terry, Michy and Chalobah seems like a safe bet, dunno about the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a stage during yesterday's game when he was protesting a bit too much against decisions and that looked to me like he was trying to get the job done. Thing is I suspect the ref was on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyBlue96 990 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Arghh...yes Costa should've made a real good foul yesterday because we cannot lose him the match against Everton...so Diego should be on his toes in the Southampton game but it'll be difficult for him as he is Diego Costa, a name referee's love to book. Next 3 Premier League games: Southampton-Chelsea Chelsea-Everton Boro-Chelsea He really needs to try not get booked in the Southampton game but in the Everton game as I trust Michy against Boro easily. That means he'll be rested for the game against Sp*rs. And also, after that game it's Manchester Citeh away and we need him in that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
