Straight red for Arnautovic, we will play Stoke in 3 games. 

just looked around the league. Only three goals.

Oooh that was unlucky, WIllian.

That was a very nice finish from Fabregas. It's been a while since we've scored those sort of goals from that area of the pitch. Lampard-esque.

Returning to the locker room with a one goal lead was all we wanted

ANTONIOOO ANTONIOOO ANTONIO ANTONIO ANTONIOOO! I'm loving it.

We are really a far less dangerous attacking team without Hazard. He's draws away at least two of the opponents players opening up space for others and making things happen..

[Pizy 18,368]

Dominant first half. Cesc was fantastic, Pedro and Willian both looked decent, Diego is working his ass off, and we're getting plenty of width from the wing backs.

Really, the only way I can see Sunderland scoring is from a terrible mistake from us or from a corner. We've completely neutralized and contained them. Continue playing like that and we should win comfortably.

Id bring Matic on towards the end if we're still up just to lock it down.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

That was a ridiculous save from Thibaut.

But wtf was David doing throughout that attack?! 

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Alonso is so slow.

[Captain Ahmed 528]

Defoe shows great feet to kill a long ball forward towards the Chelsea box,  the Sunderland man can't help it in the direction of Januzaj.If Willian doesn't score tonight, he will wonder how. He seems to have the ball on a string in this second half and Sunderland are scared of making a challenge. On this occasion, he cut inside onto his right foot before shooting just wide of the far post.
 

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Pedro's been poor today but we don't really have anyone to bring on in his place. 

[Captain Ahmed 528]

Desperately try to carve out a chance on goal as they patiently move the ball around on the edge of the Sunderland penalty area. Costa is eventually able to wriggle away from his marker before teeing up Alonso, but the Spaniard's cross-cum-shot fails to trouble Pickford

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Kante 

[Captain Ahmed 528]

Picks up the ball in the middle of the pitch and quickly tees up Costa with a poked pass into the Sunderland penalty area,  just as it looks as if the striker is going to reach the ball, Van Aanholt dives in the way to stop him from doing so

[whats happening 1,525]

costa must be very frustrated by now

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Matic on, so we're changing to 3-5-2?
