Would much rather see Leicester win.
Cant stand Chelsea.

Maddison hits the crossbar
Jorginho, Kante or Gilmour have to start in a midfield 3. Having them on the bench and 3 players who cannot defend is just idiotic.
Chelsea look decidedly average. Lampard will not be there long
Never really rated him, he had that purple patch but just always felt it was temporary with him.
He will be somewhere like Newcastle or West Brom in a year or so.
I know Brendan Rodgers can be a bit of a clown sometimes and he's so arrogant.
But he's a really good manager I think. his teams always play nice football too.

Who will Chelsea hire, return of the big dog Avram Grant, or an ambitious bid to lure Ole away from us?
Pawson lost his whistle? That’s a blatant foul...
First prize tit, but it's undeniable at this point. Even if his teams tend to fade away, I'd blame that more on squad depth more than his own failings.
He's shit but someone will pay £40m for him. Meanwhile we'll struggle to get a fee for Lingard.
They are irrevelant nowdays and they need to keep Lampard in the seat. For our standing in the league I prefer them to win.
They should go for Rogers
@Dancfc to be fair to Lampard it doesn't look like he's lost the dressing room the way it was blindingly obvious Scolari lost it.
So there's still the chance to recover.

Frank has the wrong midfield shape again which doesn't bode well against Leicester who have a 10 and an 8 who like hanging around the box. So it's Kovacic against Maddison plus covering so much space himself in front of the Chelsea backline. Mount can play well with two additional central mids, but not if he's asked to play alongside just one like tonight.
With Werner?
Yeah that's a good point.
He can never be Utd manager because of his Liverpool stint but I really think he'd be doing much better jobs than Arteta or Lampard are currently doing.
He could win them the league with a few signings, honestly believe that. Especially if the period of ridiculous seasons by City and Liverpool is over.
American commentator is dogshit again....just said Rudiger has just been tested by two Chelsea defenders.
And Frank
True. His purple patch fooled me too. Very average otherwise.
I’d be feeling tested playing alongside the other Chelsea defenders to be fair
I don't think the issue is that (or was with Scolari, I mean he did lose the dressing room but that wasn't the main problem). The issue with Big Phil is as soon as Rafa shown the world that if you pinned back Ash and Bosingwa and pressed Mikel to death he had no counter response.
Similar now, managers have realised James/Chilwell attacking thrust and/or hoping Ziyech/Pulisic/CHO come up with some magic (like the latter did vs Fulham) is pretty much our approach and there's no plan B.
Yeah I’d agree, give him a couple of years at any of the bigger clubs and he goes close with them all.
Remember when salty Celtic fans said Rodgers was daft for leaving for Leicester lolzy.
Ah right fair enough.
Hah I called it with Werner, he was being hugely overrated. Still decent enough to do damage but looks like he hasn’t settled at all.
When James and and Chilwell go far up the pitch and then Chelsea lose possession, there's not a lot of defenders to be alongside with, you're right.
I doubt United fans would care, we never had the level of hatred with him we did with someone like Benitez, not that I want him or anything.
James Justin looks a steal at £6m. FFS, and here we have Wan-Bissaka at £50m. Just goes to show there's value in the market.
Then their youngest club captain and best player left soon after in Tierney
Leicester play proper football. Rodgers is a bit of a meme but you can't knock him. His teams usually know how to play.
We pay a tax though.
They definitely should. He’s a very good manager and maximises what he has at his disposal very quickly.
Plays good football. As others have said he would take any of the bigger teams close.
Now that was a special bit of goal keeping, imagine seeing De Gea ever doing that 
Leicester is challenging for last few years purely due to their smart transfers. Same with Liverpool.
Terrible attempt by CHO but best play by Chelsea there
Surprised Vardy didn't finish that.
What a miss!!
Unusually poor finish by Vardy
Mendy left his right side completely open then
