Chelsea are going to be battered in the first 20 minutes with 4 goals and then Liverpool will keep it tight.

We all know how this is going to go. They are starting 4 forwards.
 
So weird looking at Chelsea’s squad

Doesn’t resemble a Chelsea team at all it’s just a load of random names thrown together over the past 12 months

Got my popcorn ready for Disasi as well. He’s going to get pelted in this league, way too slow for the prem.
 
Liverpools team is very attack minded. Could cost them or they could blow Chelsea away.
 
If this Liverpool Chelsea game is another 0-0 they need to just scrap this fixture.
 
What the hell is that lineup from Liverpool?

4-1-5?

Proper Keegan line up.

Guessing Alexis Mac as 6 and then Gapko and Hungary guy as advanced midfielders but bit bizarre they've left Jones out when he played well in the run in and is an actual CM.
 
Not a chance the game finishes 0-0 this time. Liverpool as top heavy as it gets and Chelsea just look extremely average. BBC have Chelsea as 3 at the back with James/Chillwell pushed forward. As if cowardly Poch would dare.

Liverpool have the better individuals, but I think Chelsea will have the better balanced XI. Difficult one to call, but there are definitely goals in this.
 
Maddison's been great. If that was Kane on the end of that ball instead of Richarlison it's 100% a goal

It's the same basic formation we play. A #6, supported by one of the defenders moving into midfield beside him, behind two attacking midfielders.

Gakpo is just being used as the AM in this case. When they sign a DM Mac Allister will presumably shift forward to take that spot.
 
Mbesuma is an enigma. Has been the best player in this game as far as am concerned but always has potential to do stupid stuff from being casual
 
Surprised at the Bissouma slander, thought he was easily our best player that half.
I agree. I've not seen him before (don't watch a lot of Spurs games) but I'm very impressed. So calm on the ball and very good at protecting it at his feet.
 
Dippers playing Macallister as a one man midfield. :lol:

Almost looks like a 'Jose protesting against the board' lineup.
