I expect a win here but with this side it will probably go exactly as other games have gone...mistakes all over, go 1-0 up, foot off the gas, players going missing and many many missed chances.

1-1

[Fulham Broadway 16,977]

You can predict what will happen. Pretty football, most possession, then maybe go 1 up. Second half, its like the valium kicks in and Spam get back into it

Don't forget, this is also Potter's chance to prove a point at the Bridge.   

They'll be up for this one

Not sure Potter has that in him tbh

I actually think they have more than a decent coach,  we will see

Don't forget Jackson missing a couple of sitters, Nkunku coming as 89th minute sub and Lavia being very close to return.

And this time, after so many games (2 or 3?), Reece picks up an injury. Hamstring, possibly?

And then a instagram post said that everything happen for a reason

We need to beat this fucking loser Potter at all costs.

Everything on Saturday happened just perfect for us, a sure sign we will fuck this game up.

Yeahhh sorta expecting a draw or loss. Win be lovely yet unexpected...but 

[NikkiCFC 8,085]

Last 2 against them were very comfy. 

[Special Juan 27,549]

Cannot see us winning this.

If Enzo starts Sanchez and allows the team to step off the gas at 1-0 up, to only make changes after the momentum has completely shifted. I think I will be out on him. Won't go for a score prediction but I suspect this game will go as follows: 

1) Early lead for Chelsea

2) Chelsea control the game for 30-35 mins. 

3) West Ham come back into it in the last 10-15 mins of the game. Becomes apparent Sancho (if he has started) is out of gas/interest by the 40th minute. 

4) No changes at HT. West Ham take control of the game from the KO in the 2nd half. 

5) Enzo stands on the sideline looking confused as West Ham score 1-2 goals. 

6) After West Ham have their goal or two Enzo will make some like-for-like changes and expect them to perform miracles in 15-10 mins.

Sanchez, James, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucu, Caicedo, Enzo, Sancho, Palmer, Madueke and Jackson

That's what Maresca will go with

Looking at that front line, you take Palmer out and we aren't any better than mid-table.    

United reject on one side, ex-Spurs youth on the other and then we get the guy from Wolves who can run around but doesn't know how to score 😆

Yep, I agree. Sancho flits in and out of the game so much
