I am pretty excited about this game. Our starting XI that is playing PL seems to be gelling a little more every game. I hope we continue to see progression. 

[Thor 2,392]

Agreed. Keen to see how they back it up after the Wolves game. 

Lavia and James are both out for this one? 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,487]

Yes both out until after the international break

Last time Chelsea lost to CPFC in the PL was in 2017 back to back.

First at home in April 2017 and then away October 2017.

Lavia is still out bro. Also did you just casually drop Cole Palmer?

[Reddish-Blue 2,347]

Hopefully we get the win at home, would be awesome to see the team build a bit of momentum!

I'd swap Noni for Felix - but aside from that I agree. 

Think Noni deserves a chance to keep building on that momentum.

Noni for me is a fantastic talent, but watching him he doesn’t play how I think enzo wants, don’t see him being here next year, that’s only my opinion before the knives come out 😂

Palace have a few really dangerous players but I hope we start on the front foot straight from kickoff and take the game to them. To go into the international break with a confidence building win would be great.

He's a good direct winger but not the most complete player. I think even if he doesn't fit Maresca's main tactic, he can be kept around simply because he's good in 1 v 1s and that is a trait that can be useful as a sub.

Feel like he's the only natural RW type player we have in the squad.   That Brazilian wonderkid we bought may change things if he keeps developing...

Neto and Sancho are more LW, Felix prefers to play through the middle.

Kendry Paez too who seems to be better than the Brazilian in the same part of the pitch

I tend to agree with you, noni is a selfish players fair play to him, but I get the feeling that isn’t what enzo is after, time will tell.
