I expect very easy game. But, still, no chance LC beat Spurs but we should do the job.

If Burnley beats Liverpool tomorrow, this is no longer a final and we can rest players for the CL final.

Either way must win v Villa regardless. Which we are more than capable of.

[R2D2 368]

Win at all costs, preferably from first half.

Whilst I'd rather Burnley do the job tomorrow and we don't have to suffer through at the weekend, I think having to continue playing full throttle with that edge until the very end of the season may benefit us come the final. 

City's last two games with Newcastle and Brighton are proof that they've relaxed a little and their standards have dropped a bit. That isn't always easy to just flick the switch and bring that edge and momentum back into your game. 

[Nero 1,852]

JUST WIN!

No, it's not a "must win" if Burnley does the job. We are guaranteed CL football. 

Granted, that doesn't mean we should throw the game.

Id still think just win it, get a convincing performance. Dont want to be losing a game prior to another cup final.

Gather momentum and winning breeds confidence.

I'm not saying for us to throwaway the game, of course it'll be great if we win. A draw doesn't hurt either. But I just don't believe we should go "full throttle" when we have nothing to play for on that day (again IF Burnley beat Pool).

Also I'm just throwing it out there, losing a game prior to the final doesn't mean you'll lose the final. Just like winning a game prior to the final doesn't mean you'll win it. Have a look at our last season's FA Cup final.

Aye thats true valid points. Suppose we will see tomorrow.

Klop is through.
Leicester will not find it easy against Spurs but if we don't win things become adventurous.
We must win this and we can.
It's more impotrant than the champions league final against City. It's a strange thing this but it is so.

[Laylabelle 9,463]

Win win win. Not there yet.

[ZAPHOD2319 4,603]

Barkley has been getting minutes lately and he will be a spectator. We need a win.

[nyikolajevics 2,620]

Wonder what scenario would be better for us: 

 

- Liverpool lose/draw today, so we can get Villa game easy and even rest some important players.

- Liverpool win today, so we will have one more competitive game this weekend and our players stay sharp while City has been pretty much on Holiday since PSG game.

 

[chippy 342]

Keep Grealish quiet and we should have more than enough for Villa.

You have joined?? You? Every Chelsea fan knows it lol

Debating to whether even watch this game on Sunday...

[R2D2 368]

Fuck the CL final, put all players here even with risk of injury, the need to win this is colossal.

Oi! That final is even more important!

Considering our chances are minimal and the potential of going into that match from 5th place, the pressure will be off the charts want to avoid that for sure.
