Stamford Bridge
15:00 Kick Off (UK time)

So, what kind of tactical master-plan will Eddie Howe come up with for this one? He's always been able to set his side up to frustrate us the at Bridge, despite losing some of the games.

On the team news front, however, their entire back 4 is out injured at the moment (according to what I read on Monday) and Josh King & Callum Wilson are also injured.

Gotta get back to winning ways.. no repeat of last years stupid scoreline. Clean sheet be lovely.

Oh crap it's at home. Saying that it don't matter either way. Just gotta win or mind the gap!

Kepa

Reece Rudi Tomori/Zouma Emerson

Jorginho Kante

Willian Mount CHO

Tammy

[ZAPHOD2319 4,476]

Pulling Puli early when he was terrorizing the defence last night makes me think Frank was getting him some rest so he is fresh for this game.

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

Could risk resting Kovacic for this one.

We are not playing mid week so no need to rest him, best team out there please

Indeed. Getting the 3 points is absolute MUST before going to Spurs, who face Wolves this weekend.

Then one of Jorginho/Kante needs to sit out. This game screams for Mount.

I'm thinking 3-0 👍

[OneMoSalah 8,775]

Suppose with all the links to Ake we will see how good he does against us.

Would like to see this 

Kepa

Azpi/Reece - Rudi - Tomori - Emerson

Kova - Jorgi - Kante/Mount*

Willian - Tammy - Pulisic

* not 100% certain who to go for, could use Mounts more offensive orientated profile over Kantes because for me right now Kova is undroppable and Jorginho being back in is always useful.

Ake is injured. Hearing he could be out for around 2 months too. This game, I would go with Kova and Jorginho for this game and defo play Mount. Think like someone said above, this game is suited for Mount.

Hopefully we smash them, it's incredible how fast United and Tottenham recovered the goal average..

Well, I am pretty sure if he was referring to Bournemouth he would have done 0-3 

[Special Juan 27,421]

Not worried about this one, feel we will have way too much for them, they are in free fall.

Jorginho back in, Emerson at LB, Rudiger back in and same front three as Lille.

Ake, Charlie Daniels, David Brooks, Junior Stanislas, Adam Smith, Steve Cook, Lloyd Kelly, Callum Wilson all out for Bournemouth.

Josh King has a chance to make it, according to Eddie Howe.
