Well it's actually a relief that he can contractually be dropped.

Hard to see past a 0-2 but you never know after the improved performance against city.

We can beat these...saw enough against Citeh to give more than just a glimmer of hope - mix that with some passionate Home support; some of the rub of the footballing Gods so often enjoyed by the plastics and we will turn these over. I like the fact not much is coming out of the training ground and I am gaining in more confidence that Moyes is getting his message into the collective brain cell of the squad. Fitter, faster, stronger, enthusiastic and well drilled.

2–1 and a well deserved lift off :crest:

Tear into them. An early goal - novelty at the OS - could do wonders.

This is the game of the season for me.

Hope we give them a good fight. Give Hazard a good kick at the beginning, slow him down.

One to watch from behind the hands I'm afraid. One of the worst teams to play in our current predicament.

I'd snatch a draw if offered right now. We desperately need points!

1-4

We did the worst possible thing last year and cost ourselves the game, don't attack these, they live for the counter attack under Conte, they are dreadfully boring and happy to defend all day, break with Hazard and co and win 1-0, sit back quite a bit let them attack. Can see them getting a penalty at some point. We should be absolutely crowding the midfield, players like Fabregas are dead slow but can pick a pass and will do if given time, get time on Cesc and that will nullify them a bit.

Couldn't agree more about crowding the midfield and defence. Imperative we go with a 352 or the like so to give us half a chance, which is what we done against them in the Cup last year to great effect coming out as convincing 2-1 victors. Going toe to toe with them would be asking for trouble.

I Just hope Moyes doesn't employ the same tactics he used against City, I'm not criticizing the way we played, but that was a needs must situation.

Chelsea are a much more direct team, who will not keep the ball as much as City do, they will want to get to ball out wide and into the box for Morata.

I fear what Hazard might do to us, given the amount of space we like to gift opposition players.

Can't see anything other than Chelsea winning by 2+ goals

I’d start Antonio up front again personally, get him running alongside Cahill and Luiz might give us a bit of joy

Can't see anything other than a defeat - no wins in Dave's first 5 games with Arsenal next. Meanwhile BFS and Pards continue to pick up points!!!

I reckon we'll get a point, which would be a good result normally against a team of Chelsea's quality, however I don't think a point is enough!

If there ever was a post to suit an agenda!

Pardew so far has one point from one game, same team we drew to in Palace and Big Sam has three after one game after they beat Huddersfield, a team we also beat.

Guardian football pages seem to suggest, so, yes.

The usually more reliable Physioroom.com agrees with only Fonte, Kouyate & Collins out longer term. And, of course, Carroll's slight knock keeps him out for at least another week!

I'm sure I read somewhere this week that Chicharito wouldn't be risked this weekend.
