After the semi-final and the drubbing they gave us,, you sort of feel the lads should be up for this one.  But then there a gulf in class and if Drogba or Essien are on their game we have nothing to cope with them.

I'm going for a Chelsea win, but with us playing well and walking out saying "That's edge a top player can give you."

1-3 Chelsea

Can't see us winning, can see them scoring a few.

Terry is now a doubt, Lampard is coming back from a month off.

So 1.0  villa

Sorry to be a misery guts, but I can't see beyond 2-0 to Chelsea.
Plus, Defensively, we're not quite at the races at the moment.

They are far and away the best team in the country.

I'd be made up with a draw.

Terry' s a doubt I presume as he is missing the England game tonight, I think Alex is injured as well and Frank 'looks to the heavens' Lampard is just coming back from injury. So we have a chance if we can just contain Drogba, Anelka, Malouda, Cole and Essien.

We'll give them a game but I fear they will have too much for us.

I think NRC has to start this game and add defensive cover to any threat coming down the left from Cole and Malouda.

1-2 Chelsea but we'll give them a good game.

Would start Cuellar and Dunney at centre half, rest Albrighton, move Young back to the wing and bring in Ireland otherwise Heskey will get isolated.

Chelsea only won once against us at VP since 1999 so this is a bogey ground for them.

A draw would be nice.

Got to play Reo-Coker and Cuellar in this one.

   Don't know why, but quite confident about Sat.

  Would definatley play Heskey up front, and Gabby on the right though.ACole can't handle Gabby, and i think he might be a bit too much for Albrighton to handle.
