I would be surprised to see the same lineup on Saturday I'm afraid. RLC might start but I think Emerson, Christensen and CHO will be benched

 

WHU game is on Monday, not Saturday

 

Yeah, it's likely that they'll be benched as we'll face Slavia next Thursday and then Liverpool on Sunday so it's 3 games in 7 days. It's gonna be hard to rotate right.

We're playing on Monday night, actually.

Interesting to see if he's gonna change things for this or the EL game.

I think you're bang on bud.........unfortunately

My mistake apparently we're playing on Monday  Well that does change things a little although there's a yet another game already on Thursday. CHO might just have a chance to start on Monday. Emerson will be benched tho, thats guaranteed. Christensen probably as well. They could feature again on Thursday.

A nice, comfortable, easy win for a change. But what are the odds on Sarri reverting to the old BS on Monday now that he's saved his job (for now) and appeased the fans?

Can we FINALLY put this 'CHO isn't good enough to start in the EPL' SHIT to fucking bed??????????

He is only 18 and already an tempo inflection point and a force multiplier.

I am just going to go batshit cray if we lose the lad.

Think we all expect it so be nice to be surprised

It's so nice to see some actual incisive, quick thinking passes in the final third. Forming little triangles like you see City and Liverpool often doing. We've played sides like this all season who sit deep and deny us the middle of the pitch. We usually try to force it through with slow passes. This is what quick play gets us.

Ruben, CHO, and Hazard were great today without even having to raise their game. They were kind of nonchalantly dominant. 

I think Ruben should 100% be given an extended run from here on out. More direct and decisive in the last third than either Ross or Kova. In form he's basically unstoppable since he's so strong.

Can someone check this for me?

When was the last time Chelsea Football Club fielded 3 academy graduates in the league?

I'm not sure if it was the last time but in 2016 in the last game of the season against Leicester there was Loftus-Cheek, Tomori and Abraham on the field, also Bertrand Traoré, if he counts.

I don't remember it ever happening tbh since I started watching pretty much every Chelsea game, but I might be mistaken.

Guess I was mistaken.
