Another three points! Team improved with the substitution of Cesc. I hate to say it because I like the guy, but when Willian is on the pitch, the attack looks like under Guus.

If there was a time to lose Costa and Kante, now would be the time with Bournemouth at the Bridge. Much better than the following week at White Hart Lane.

Thought the back was in control 98% of the match so no real threats.

Loving it! Now you can sit back and enjoy the other challengers drop points this weekend! 

Come on you Chelsea!!

we play stoke after bournemouth!

Superb header from Diego.
Should have been 2-0 in the end.

chuffed about the win!  the one downside...who's gonna do the scoring without costa next match?!

Hazard.

The one goal we need can come from anyone. The game vs Bournemouth is the chance to show that we are not dependant on Diego

[xPetrCechx 13,565]

Kante and Costa out for the next game.

9 points clear before Christmas!, give Antonio a lifetime contract already!

[Milan 17,887]

33 points out of 33 possible. 33/33. Incredible!

We need to start finishing games off again, as it is freaking nerve wrecking! Thank god Townsend did very good with that late fk

na na na na na na na na batman

Need to integrate Fabregas in the asap.

Next game we'll miss Kante so no doubt it will be 3-4-3 again but why not try Hazard as SS and switch to 3-5-2? Pedro and William are not good enough anyway.

 

11 in a row! Great times to be a Chelsea fan.

Tibot was not called upon today.
I think we were unlucky not to double the score. It was not a case of packed defense as we were already one up, but we were unlucky once again and scored only once.

In with Fabregas or Chalobah and Batman simples tap tap boom , time for 2 or 3 changes everygame this period to keep freshness etc anyhoo imho 

[awkjello 11]

Costa, Alonso and Conte(because of the Fabregas sub) made the difference today. Willian was sloppy. Happy with the three points.

You can take a man out of Tottenham, but you can never take the Tottenham out of a man.

Dave man of the match for me the wee man was everywhere on the pitch top it of with a perfect 👌 assist to costa

[OneMoSalah 8,826]

Good to see when Palace kept coming at us in second half we kept defending the box well, kept competing for 50/50s etc although it was a bit less than convincing going forward at times as it has been last few games. Pity to lose Costa and Kante but opens up a really big opportunity for Batshuayi and Cesc/Chalobah. Marcos Alonso had a tough game today but stuck at it, Zaha is no easy opponent and I'm sure he might cope a bit better against Bournemouth, Don't think their wide players are as fast or direct as Palace's are. Regardless 11 wins, 9 clean sheets, Kante and Costa (big loses yeah) get a forced rest on Boxing Day. 

[Diceflix 207]

I think Costa was on his intention to get booked, just so he can get Christmas day-off...

 

Anyway we shouldn't be worried losing Costa and Kante for the next game at Home, the subtitutes are promising...., and boy, i'd love to see Cesc to have more times on the field
