    I really hope we win this, if we do, City would be the only team to have beat us out of the top six! That for sure will send a message to everyone in the league, and hopefully would help our confidence even further!

    with that being said, I feel like we always struggle with Chelsea regardless of form/who the manager is.

    Yeah away game against Chelsea is always tough. Only them and Liverpool were able to really go toe to toe against City last season I think. Regardless of form when they play against the top six they're usually very hard to play against. But Tuchel is gone and I have no idea how they're now.

    With Martial still injured and Ronaldo out front 3 is already set in stone with Sancho, Rashford and Antony.

    Defense will be the same as last game for sure to.

    Now midfield is where there is a toss up between Fred and Eriksen, but knowing Ten Hag likes to keep a winning team and I think he will wait for next game to rest players he will go with Fred for his perfomance agains Spurs.

    I think same team as Spurs will play this.

    DDG
    Dalot Varane Martinez Shaw
    Casemiro Fred
    Bruno
    Antony Rashford Sancho

    Subs: Eriksen, Elanga and Mctominay

    Completely agree with this. That story pretty much writes itself. Just a coin toss between Fred and Eriksen but we will need Fred's energy against that lot. Perhaps 60m/30m between the two either way?
     
    Really looking forward to this and fairly optimistic, rather than dreading a humiliating beating. Good times
     
    Is Martial still out injured?

    I think the team will be exactly the same as it was for spurs. Only reason you would change it is injury or maybe a lack of energy, Bruno and Fred were on another level of output the other night. I’d be surprised if Eriksen is brought in over Fred.

    You’d want that lil fecker doing exactly what he did vs spurs.
     
    Absolutely no chance of us getting anything against Chelsea today. Might as well give us Europa now.
     
    When you think that we conceded 10 goals in 2 games v Brentford and City but only 5 in the other 8 games, gives me some hope. Chelsea away is always tough for us so would probably be happy with a draw today, but a win would really be some statement!

    Fred won't be able to keep the ball against Chelsea if there is any sustained pressure. He's a good energy guy but against Chelsea you need as many guys capable of retaining possessions, not lose it when pressure piles on.

    There probably going to have most of the ball anyway so Fred’s exactly what we need to press them like mad. Don’t let them out of there own halve.

    That’s a Ronaldo fanboy posting with their standard agenda. They don’t want us to win so that they can claim ETH was wrong to drop Ronaldo.

    Yea I know, just thought it would be interesting to hear him explain himself.
     
    Did he who must not be named travel? I don’t want to see his petulant face in the stands.

    Thank feck. What’s the point in winning the ball back if you just give it back to them with a sloppy pass? I think many on here don’t fully appreciate Eriksen’s quality and his ability to create chances and dictate tempo.
     
    Not sure about this, because Fred’s MOTM performance (imo, I gave him the Caf one) facilitated our excellent pressing performance against Spurs. I’ll support whatever decision Ten Hag makes though.

    Tots! We don't stand a chance. We have to beat both Chelsea and the referee.
     
    I'm actually hopeful we can get something from this. Always a fecker of a fixture, but we should have been able to take a lot of confidence from the other night.

    Are you guys not worried to have spent that much money on Fofana ?

    He is young, the deal could come good. If the injuries continue, it will be costly. The broken leg and sprained knee are unrelated. I like the football he plays, time will tell about injuries.

    We will control the game and not Chelsea. They will have trouble playing out of the press.

    The result is not guaranteed for either team but this is nonsense. There is no chance in hell that you will control the game. We will have have 60% of the ball and look impotent for the majority of the game and you will play on the counter. This could get mean you getting a few sucker punch goals and winning by a big margin (like under ole) but there’s no massive difference in quality between our teams
     
    I just want to see us sitting in that top 4 spot just to shut the ABUs up. That Newcastle result was a real kicker. So, if we can put that right today, that would be awesome.
