Would've rather that front three was rested for City. 

I think the plan was always to unleash Werner's pace against them.

I imagine Tuchel feels they are going to come at us and we can get behind them with that attacking three. I love he is not looking at this from just trying to hold a 2 point lead.

 

Adds fuel to the idea he values CL more than top 4. In reality I think he values both.

But wouldn't of it made more sense to utilise Werner today instead of City?

Not surprised by the starting XI after the weekend's game but once again and especially after Kovacic's injury, great decision by Tuchel to leave Gilmour back in Cobham...no midfielders on the bench!

Ah, shit. Kova is a huge miss here. Really, really hope it’s just precautionary so he doesn’t further injure himself.

We absolutely need him for this run in. Our most important midfielder.

[MoroccanBlue 5,306]

If Kovacic is unavailable Mount has to play. Only one just as good in transition. 

[Valdo 583]

Puli please don't get injured. Feeling confident about tonight, we should smash them.

[Nero 1,838]

Come on Chelsea!

is he being held out so he doesn't risk yellow card suspension for next round?

Hes not even on the bench. I heard he was injured earlier today 

[Supermonkey 38]

Pulisic and havertz haven't accumulated enough minutes to worry about starting them vs City. They should be fine bar Christians glass legs

Birds creating atmosphere again lol
