Well if they defend like they did against Blackpool, we should not have any problems.

Well if they defend like they did against Blackpool, we should not have any problems.

And the Blackpool manager was playing down the chances of his side even being able to survive in the Championship

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Cant imagin them playing like that again..and considering their record at home against the top 4 last season.We need to just play how we did yesterday,keep on the pressure etc and volia...

[LDN Blue 7,903]

They'll probably still have nightmares from the 8-0

Ramires debut please..

[Badboy 1,526]

I think i will be going to this game hopefully !

If they play like they did against Blackpool it could honestly be about 15-0.

[Kez 2,727]

Expect to see alot of goals hopefully

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I'd take a 1-0 in all honesty, they're going to play much better than they did on Saturday, that's for certain. Never easy going to the DW and for some reason Wigan always play well against us when we're up there. Past results are irrelevant; in fact that 8-0 drubbing and the frustration of a shocking performance this weekend will probably inspire them to improve and bring their A-Game.

Amen to that!

Hope to see Ramires

[Aria 19]

DW is always hard for us somehow, I'd take a 1-0 immediately. They will play much better than they did against Blackpool - but we will play better than we did on Saturday, too.

I hope for a 2-0 come 70th minute and then a Ramires debut - though I wouldn't be suprised if it was a hard fought game...

[Ray. 217]

Just got my ticket through for this game and am really looking forward to it. It would be nice for us to put in a performance as a reminder to them that we did beat them to win the PL. I think Ramires may start as I believe he starts training with the squad this week.

[Aria 19]

Yes, Ramires is match fit. Carlo confirmed it will be likely for him to have his debut on Saturday.

[Mário César 975]

Cech

Iva - Alex - Terry - Cole

Essien

Ramires - Lampard

Anelka - Malouda

Drogba

It will not be easy.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

They hammered us last season at the DW so Im not thinking that all we need to do is show up and the three points are in the bag. Of course though Im optimistic, particularly after the West Brom hammering. Really looking forward to seeing Ramires, the biggest signing we have made in a couple of years imo.

[Madmax 9,219]

Won't be easy. As everyone's already said, they always do good against us at the DW. I'd take a 1-0. Just hope to see a committed, all-action performance, none of that lazy crap we pulled on last season in the 1-3 loss
