Saturday 11th May, 12.45pm
1-2
Ba
Lampard
Weimann
-
1-1
Benteke 2
Luiz 89
-
love a Villa win but i can not see Villa winning this one
-
Come on Villa lets make ourselves safe before any other game
-
I'm gonna make a prediction after seeing how Chelsea fare tonight.
If they win tonight, I reckon we might get a draw.
-
If someone had told me after getting thumped by these lot back in December that if we could beat them in May, we would stay up, I would have thought they were barking mad. However, what a massive difference confidence can play with a team and supporters.
Thats why I'm going for a clean sheet with a 1-0 Villa victory. :)
-
1-1. Gabby scoring first and lampard replying with a penalty
-
1-1
Benteke.
I also think Luiz will score.
Home & dry.
-
If we win 8-0, can we have extra time ?
-
1-0 Villa.
A clean sheet and a Benteke penalty.
-
0-2
-
We go into the game with pretty much all of the pressure taken off us. It is not a 'must win' game, unlike the last few we have played.
They will give us space and allow us to play, so I think we could give them a real game
2-2
-
Not confident enough to predict the score line but I think we'll somehow win this whether its 1-0 or 5-4 or anything in between, who knows?
Come on Villa!!
-
3-1 villa win for me , if Chelsea win tonight - if not a 1-1 draw.
-
My first game of the season and if he doesn't score tonight he will on Saturday, sods law dictates that situation because I can't stand Fat Frank.
-
One thing for sure is we need a rabid villa park crowd for this, to see us across the line.
-
I reckon 4-1, these guys will be wrapped in cotton wool. Benteke, Gabby and Andi to make it 3-0. Some scrote for them. Then a last minute corner, Terry Sideshow Bob and Cahill will be marking Benteke, leaving space at the near post where Guzan has run up to soar like a pegasus, to make a rocket header into Fat Franks belly, knocking him and the ball into the back of the net. Sky will obviously report this as Lampard breaks Chelsea goal scoring record

I think we are across the line anyway but lets end the season in style.

I agree with this, totally.
-
Chelsea will win tonight and cement a top 4 finish. Then they'll rest a few players before the Europa League final.
-
Match abandoned after Lampard puts them one nil up and the flooding from the journo's box causes the pitch to be unplayable.
-
Fuck it, 6-1 Villa, Benteke second half hatrick, Vlaar to score first, Weimen and Gabby. Erm !
-
I'd love to get a result to see us mathematically safe but I think Chelsea will have enough to see us off again even if they rest some players. We'll score but we can't keep a clean sheet so they'll score more. 2-3 to them.
-
Assuming Chelsea avoid defeat tonight, I think it will be a draw. It is a result that would suit both teams. Lampard nailed on to score.
-
A win. We are not only staying up, we are top half!
-
I'm gonna make a prediction after seeing how Chelsea fare tonight.
If they win tonight, I reckon we might get a draw.
That's what I'm thinking, too.
But if they do beat Spurs, I fancy us to turn over their likely reserve side.
-
It's a shame the weather forecast doesn't look promising. There's no better sight walking to a football ground in May as you approach St Peters Church with the Cherry Blossom in full bloom. It should be our first full house too as 41,000 tickets have been sold already. I want a win, we need some pay back.
-
Can see a draw for this!

Never trust a weather forecast three days in advance.
-
They're pretty reliable here mate : )
-
How i'd love to see us beat these plastic wankers.
-
If Chelsea beat Spurs tonight, that's their CL place secure.
Hopefully that'll help us.
-
If Chelsea beat Spurs tonight, that's their CL place secure.
Hopefully that'll help us.
Hopefully as Rafa will want to delivery a trophy and top 4 with the fans against him.
I think he's done a decent job.
-
If Chelsea beat Spurs tonight, that's their CL place secure.
if spurs win, that's arsenal going full throttle against wigan and newcastle though.
nailed-on draw then...
-
Quite frankly, my hatred of these unspeakables has caused me to make any team they play my 2nd team.
Best case scenario would be for them to lose to spuds this evening, then we beat them with a controversial goal, causing them to miss out on a champions league spot and then they are blown away in the Europa Final. Shortly after Morinho royally shafts them by taking over ManUre as rudolph announces his retirement on the last day.
With our fans rocking Villa Park, we will win 2-1.
-
How i'd love to see us beat these plastic wankers.
Couldn't have put it more aptly in a million years
-
Us: As many as we want, Them: Fuckall
After what happened at their place I can see us being fired up for this one.
-
sadly unavailable for this game, as SKY the bastards changed it......a minimum of a point please :)
UTV
The Doc
-
Villa win . 2-1
-
2-3 their winner in 92nd minute.
-
I'm predicting a clean sheet again. They'll be more determined than ever after the last encounter.
1-0, Weimann.
-
Whilst we can all dream of sticking 8 past them to get some form of revenge, in many ways a clean sheet for this team would be even more pleasing than that.
-
If Chelsea beat Spurs tonight, that's their CL place secure.
if spurs win, that's arsenal going full throttle against wigan and newcastle though.
If Spurs lose tonight but beat Stoke on Sunday Arsenal will still need to go full throttle.
-

This. don't we need a spurs win and arsenal baying for wigan's blood?
nailed-on draw then...
-
Since predicting we'd score at least 2 in each of the remaining games after the Man Utd defeat, I have seen no reason to not think that will still happen.
2-2, though I would also place a bet on a 2-1 victory.

Even if spurs lose tonight and Sunday , arsenal will still need to beat wigan to seal the deal.

Aston Villa 2
Chelsea 1
Benteke (2)

No, because Spurs still have Stoke to play on Sunday so they can afford to lose tonight.
-
3-1
-
Heart says a well fought Villa win, head says a Chelsea 1-0 win.
-
2-2. We go into the game on a high, they go into it with one eye on the final. I think I can now actually go and relax a bit and enjoy s game from the start.
-
1-3 Chelsea I hope I'm wrong but I can't see it.
-
I will wait and see what tonight's Chelsea result is first, with a bit of luck they will beat Spuds and play a weakened team against us having already guaranteed a top 4 slot.
-
we could get a point if benett dont play

Spurs could lose both and arsenal would still need to beat wigan to secure 4th spot.
-
Bennett to score the winner. 2 - 1.
-
Villa win by the odd goal with a few scored.
-
9-0!
Vengeance will be very sweet!
UTV!
-
Villa 1-1 Chelski
Wiemann Mata
-
Even if they lose tonight, Spurs could be above Arsenal by the time the Gooners play Wigan. And as others have said, Arsenal need one more win at least, whatever happens.
As I type, Spurs equalise! Bit of a bugger that one
-
Haven't they only beat us once in league at Villa Park since 98? Villa 2-1 win.
-
They play the old guard, Terry, Lampard etc and are leading 1-0 with 20 minutes left. We go on to win 3-1 and in the after match interview Gabby says " we knew they'd tire after 70 minutes because they're old and we're all babbies loike"
-
We'll have our revenge.

Nodge i got the picture in my head of Gabby actually saying that ..... Quality ....
-
Would love us to win.
After the draw tonight, Chelsea need 3 points to guarantee top 4 hmmm.
Think Chelsea will win 3-2 as they'll play a stronger team now and our defence it's fair to say isn't great against pace and movement.
-
Would love to see John Terry start on Saturday and get an absolute mauling from Benteke all game long. Can see us getting at least a draw.
-
They'll smash us. 0:3.
-
Think we will get a point.
I really, really hope Cahill plays and Benteke is in the mood.
-
1-1 draw but hope we win of course
-
Surprising amount of positivity in here. Hope the players feel the same way as you lot, coz I am dreading the game.
-
Haven't they only beat us once in league at Villa Park since 98? Villa 2-1 win.
Twice after last season.
-
A lot will depend on how much the Europa final is playing on their minds. They'll say the league is their priority and they might be sincere but winning that final will mean a lot to Benitez and there's a good chance that will affect the players.
-
I think this will be a better game for lowton and Bennett. They don't play with wingers crossing the ball and anyone forward player out wide usually look to cut in. That should suit our style of play and won't see Lowton and esoecially bennett isolated. They look to get overlapping full-backs - as do we - but our front 3 threat should negate that by counter-attacking as soon as they lose the ball.
If they score early and get on top then we may struggle to get back into it as we'll need to chase it. But they need the 3 points (as of course do we) so if its 0-0 (yeah right) they will have to push on more so creating more space and opportunities for us. They're last game is at home against Everton whilst Arsenal and Tottenham have two relatively 'easier' games to overtake Chelsea.
They will come at us with a full strength team and are likely to take the points. But, knowing how they play, if we can avoid conceding early (or at all would be nice) this could be set up nicely for us.

Agree Peter. If they play Hazard and Oscar they won't have the type of pace out wide that seems to trouble our full-backs (even though Hazard and Oscar are top players).
-
A loss last night and I would have expected a strong team Saturday and us to lose. A win and it's the reserves and I'd then fancy us to win. So what does a draw do?
I think it's 3 points to secure top 4 and they have Everton at home last day. Benitez will want another trophy on his CV, so will he gamble a little? A lot of ifs and maybes attached to this game now.
Fuck it though - Villa 2-1 and Benteke to smack the shite out of Terry!!
-
I think we'll get a result. Not sure we'll win it. I don't see a clean sheet either. I'm hoping Ferninny Torres plays as he couldn't hit a barn door with an Emile. Catching them on the break is key. Gabby can score against anyone, as he's proven over the years, so I fancy him to get one. Tekkers owes the Chelski backline a nightmare. Luiz needs to be targeted. We need to get Gabby at JT as well.
2-2. Gabby and Tekkers.
-
Agree, Luiz has terrible positional sense. Benteke will bully the long-haired ponce. Villa to win 2-1. Should be well up for revenge after the drubbing in December.
-
Supertom i agree with you on most things but Tekkers??? Its a shite nickname. Just call him The Beast.
-
Benteke will bully the long-haired ponce.
Sideshow Bob deserves no less!
-
After a mauling from Christian, he'll probably promise never to touch Bart again
-
'Nando hasn't scored a league goal since they twatted us. And Lampard didn't play last night so might start. That would be a recipe for the perfect storm a few months ago but not now. We'll keep both the blighters out. Ba and Benteke will both score though and chat affable en francais at both half and full times. 1-1.
-
Im going for a win. My wife was born in Chelsea, and she hates going to this fixture, as when she does, we win. Shes coming to the game. I think ours is the only ground that Jose went to as a Premiership ground that he didnt record a win at. And he is much better than FSW. Chelsea look good going forward, but that final is playing on their mind, and switched off a few times last night, perfect for our forward line. 3-2 win
-
Tores has struggled since it became apparent he wasn't a girl. Even the addition of a gimp mask has failed to re-kinddle any kind of form.
-
Lampard will break the record.
Villa never do it the easy way.
Draw and we're waiting for Wigan to not win on Tuesday.
-
1-1 Gabby
-
2-4
Think we'll score (we always have goals in us now) but they are likely going to score more. We need to seriously sort out the centre half issue this summer because if we can tighten up at the back, that would be worth 15 points right there which would put us in the top half of the table.
We'll be safe - Wigan wont win at Arse either which way
-
Only one thing is fairly certain - Chelsea will score. I hope we'll score more but alas, this one goes to Chelsea.
I still hope, though - it would be amazing to see John Terry jump up and down furiously after Gabby's third goal of the day. :D
-
Chelsea could rest a few and lose this game knowing that they will still still be ahead of spurs going into the last game whatever happens - it just means they would probably have to beat everton on the last day at the bridge to confirm champions league - i think benitez will take this gamble and expect him to make at least 6 changes on Saturday.
-
The game could be won by half time, unfortunately. Then Benitez can rest players.

Only 1500 tickets left.
Villa v Chelsea is now heading for a huge, bumper crowd - with only 1,500 tickets available for the Blues clash.
Seats have been snapped up in great numbers over the past few days with the 'Sold Out' signs set to go up at Villa Park in advance of kick-off.
Ticket Office chiefs were predicting 41,000 earlier in the week but that has now increased.
It should be quite some occasion, with Villa looking to retain their Premier League status and Chelsea aiming for Champions League qualification.
The final home game has also been enhanced with the news that Stan Petrov will lead the walk of appreciation on the final whistle.
It should be emotional and, clearly, fans want to be there to watch a great game of football and pay tribute to a great professional and great man.
Do not delay if you want a ticket for this big game because you could end up disappointed.
Snap up your tickets - on general sale - now by contacting 0800 612 0970, buying online or popping into either Villa Village or New Street.
Paul Lambert's men will be eager to end the home campaign in style with a win over the Blues.
Their determination is two-fold - to move further away from the dreaded dropzone and also to avenge the hammering suffered at the hands of Rafa Benitez's team during the festive period.
Lambert's Lions felt the full force of the former champions that day and they will be out for blood in the return fixture.
There is always a party atmosphere on the final fortress encounter and this should be no exception, especially if Villa can pick up a valuable three points.
The atmosphere in the 6-1 win over Sunderland was wondrous, with fans screaming their approval.
Lambert will be hoping for more of the same from this extremely difficult clash as Frank Lampard, Fernando Torres and Petr Cech come to town.
Ticket prices are £25 to £45 [adults], £22 to £45 [concessions], £19 to £40 [U16s], £15 to £40 [U8s] and £35 to £40 [adult/junior combo ticket].
The match takes place on Saturday May 11 with kick-off at 12.45pm.
-

I was thinking along the same lines then recalled our Barcelona game when they took of Cryuff thinking job done.
Those that play second half will pretty much know they're not going to play in the final, so won't give a shit.
Oh and Jimbo, can you continuously slag off Gabby again in the Match thread. It works a treat. ;)

-
2-0 to Benteke :) I am happy to keep a clean sheet please.
-
On reflection I think we'll lose this, even if Chelsea are tired. They looked very good to me yesterday.
I do think we'll be in nervous mood on Tuesday, but I really do struggle to see Wigan winning at the Emirates. Surely. Surely!!
-
If we can give them significantly more of a game than we did last time we met, and get a draw, I'll be satisfied with the confirmation of the progress we've made since that disastrous and humiliating day last December.
-
I think this will be a better game for lowton and Bennett. They don't play with wingers crossing the ball and anyone forward player out wide usually look to cut in. That should suit our style of play and won't see Lowton and esoecially bennett isolated.

Agree Peter. If they play Hazard and Oscar they won't have the type of pace out wide that seems to trouble our full-backs (even though Hazard and Oscar are top players).
Moses will play, he ripped us apart at Stamford Bridge, hopefully Mata is rested as he is a real class act.
Surprised people are dreading this game, it's not like we're one point below Wigan or anything. Would imagine there will be a carnival atmosphere on Saturday and I reckon the players will have a right good go at putting December 23rd right as the pressue has been lifted by Wigan fcuking up on Tuesday.
-
Little bit concerned that rafa didn't play Ba and Lampard at all last night not even bringing them on as subs. That means both will play on Saturday specially as Ba is EL tied.
-
Yes both will start as will Moses and Terry I suspect. Maybe Benayoun aswell but Chelsea fans hate him by association to Rafa so that would be a negative one.
Ruud Gullit's love child Nathan Ake might have a chance of a first start aswell.

We'll beat them whoever they put out.

Benitez has got them to a third placed finish and a European final, and they hate him. They are such cocks.

They truly are wankers.
They can't bring themselves to speak the truth - ie that their megalomaniac chairman sacked the saintly RDM, and he's the one who deserves the stick - so they take it out on Benitez.
I don't particularly like him, but considering he's been parachuted into that fucking snakepit on a going-nowhere contract, to deal with players who clearly think they run things themselves, he's done a really excellent job, and kept his dignity while doing it.
-
I'm hoping we give them a game we are much better now than the 0-8
Look who played a part in that game -
Lichaj Clark KEA Ireland Herd Albrighton Bowery Holman
None of them good enough at this level and all no Longer in favour
-
3-1 Villa, Run like a girl to get his 202nd or something in the 1st half
then Villa to rip em to pieces in the 2nd

Marc and KEA were unused subs, Bowery played 10 minutes.
-
Lichaj will play if Lowton doesn't make it.
-
Lots of articles appearing about Villa's "remarkable" recovery. Gives me a feeling of foreboding about Saturday.
-
Looks like it could be sold out, wow a packed full Villa park. Should be a great atmosphere.
Still dont think we can win, but whatever, should be a great spectacle.
-
Of course we can win.
-
Get into 'em
Fuck 'em up
-
That's the spirit!
-
Does anybody know whether Lowton will be fit for this? I'd be more confident if he plays.
I can see us winning 3 - 2, Benteke 20 (please, during Stan's minute), 50, Westwood 80. Nando 55, Ba 85.
Both of our scorers to reveal Support Stan T shirts under their shirts when they score.
It's such a perfect day......
-
I want us to win 3-2 too, coming from behind, but with the winner coming at the death, from Gabby at the Holte End. He will jump into the crowd and be mobbed, and yes be wearing a Support Stan t-shirt. The emotion of it all will be so strong that the ref won't book him.
-
Oh and Jimbo, can you continuously slag off Gabby again in the Match thread. It works a treat. ;)
I'm sure I could try, Rudy, just for you. Would you also like some help understanding the word 'continuously' ;)
-
Of course we can win.
On our day we can beat anyone.They will be right up for this game
-
4-2 to Villa.
We will be 1-0 and 2-1 down but it will be 2-2 by half time. We are going to score an early goal in the second half and then Sideshow Bob will be sent off after bringing down Gabby who goes past him for the tenth time. Chelski with their ten men will press for an equaliser and we will catch them on the break in the 82nd minute.
Scorers - Benteke 2, Weimann & Gabby.
-
SSN seemed to pick up on the Sideshow Bob reference for the first time a couple of days ago, much to their amusement. Luckily their sports news is slightly more up to date than their humour.

They can't bring themselves to speak the truth - ie that their megalomaniac chairman sacked the saintly RDM, and he's the one who deserves the stick - so they take it out on Benitez.
I don't particularly like him, but considering he's been parachuted into that fucking snakepit on a going-nowhere contract, to deal with players who clearly think they run things themselves, he's done a really excellent job, and kept his dignity while doing it.
If I was Everton I would be getting Benitez ;)
-
Lampard is starting according to Benitez.
I was fearful about him scoring and the inevitable hype, but in light of Stan's retirement I couldn't care less anymore.
-
Hope Lowton is fit, I dread to think of Lichaj against Chelsea.
-
Anyone know what time the Lions Club opens tomorrow ?
-
Hope Lowton is fit, I dread to think of Lichaj against Chelsea.
Lowton faces a late fitness test according to Mat Kendrick on Twitter. Clark and El Ahmadi still out injured. I was hoping Clark would come in so we could drop Bennett.
-
I don't think i've ever seen a Villa player pass a 'late fitness test' so I doubt Matty will make it.
-
1-1 for me, and with a Wigan loss to Arsenal it will be a PARTAYYYYYYYYYYYY at the DW
-

I believe Jimmy Rimmer passed one in May 1982.
-
Revenge. >:(
-
I want us to win 3-2 too, coming from behind, but with the winner coming at the death, from Gabby at the Holte End. He will jump into the crowd and be mobbed, and yes be wearing a Support Stan t-shirt. The emotion of it all will be so strong that the ref won't book him.
Outstanding.
-
Hope Lowton is fit, I dread to think of Lichaj against Chelsea.
He was'nt that bad last week when he came on. Bennett's the main worry rather than Lichaj.
-
Just looked on the OS ticket interactive thingy and there was less than 20 seats left.

for all our good play in recent weeks the defending can be a worry and Bennett main offender.
Chelsea were targeting spurs lb on wed and will prob do same. I fear we will concede a penalty as chelsea have had 9 given zero conceded. In fact they had most in league. Whilst we have conceded most in league - 7. Maybe we ll get one also then ?! as they will have to concede a penalty by seasons end in all fairness! You know when managers say it even itself over a season well lets have a penalty against chelsea !! In this match 2-1 victory. Out of 10 wins we ve won 6 by 1 goal. And out of 7 chelsea defeats they lost 5 by 1 goal. As they only failed to score in 5 games and we ve only kept a clean sheet in 5 games they ll get a goal - and that's a penalty concede by bennett or though its bakers turn.... So we'll get one pen dispatched by benteke and gabby with the other.

Just got the last cheap ticket apparently. Only £40-odd ones left.

I have to go to Belfast tomorrow so will be missing this game.
Come on Villa!
-

And I think Richard Dunne pissed a late fatness test recently as well.

Should beat the Liverpool gate 42,037 ?

I just looked and there were 6 tickets left.

Three left now...
-
Lawro has tipped us to lose so i'm going 2-1 Villa Westwood and Weimann for us Fat Fwank (inevitably) for the classless ones
-
We are second bottom on sub 30 points, some third odd behind top 7 QPR according to Lawro
-
Don't think Lowton will play. Hasn't trained all week apparently.
Lichaj's a bit like Herd. He's the sort who can come in for the odd game and look decent like last week.
The problem is when he starts 5-6 games in a row like over xmas and teams start specifically targeting him, especially the top ones.
We've got goals in us so I expect us to score tomorrow.

Is there a table somewhere based on all his predictions
-
Benitez will taget Bennet. Wish we had an alernative LB. Think Bennet could of done with a miss in this game ........
-
1 ticket left in A5 according to the online seating map.
-
2-1 Benteke x 2 Fat fwank for them.
So envious of you going tomorrow, I'll be watching it at 4.45am at home, beer in hand and roaring them on!!! Neighbours must think I've lost the plot!!!! My missus does already!!
COME ON VILLA!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Beer at 4:45am, now there's commitment.
-
That's got to tee the day up quite nicely, drinking at quarter to 5 In the morning ;-)
-
If you're getting up at that time not really worth going to bed. So start drinking now!
-
I just did. Start drinking now. Got a ticket in the Holte, this afternoon.Just. Now just got to drive up from Wiltdhire. Wieltshire. Wiltshire. There we go.
-
1 ticket left in A5 according to the online seating map.
Bollocks, I've been working late all week and have just sat down to book a seat to find them all gone.
If anyone knows of a spare, pm me and I'll take it.
-
2-3.
Defending to cost us.

Ive got a spare childs for the Holte if any good.

Just put all the money in my Ladbrokes account on a Villa win. 10/3. I really think we'll win. We aren't the soft touches that got hammered at their place, I can see us going ahead and staying ahead. I don't bet on Villa a lot as it is a heart rather than head bet but I think we'll do them tomorrow.
-
Really want at least a draw tomorrow. Would be great to seal our premiership safety on the last home match when Stylian Petrov bows out with his recovery looking positive. Would of been a lot easier with him in the team ..........
-
The on line seating thing isn't 100 per cent accurate/ updated
I looked this morning for 3 tickets together anywhere, and there was nothing available with the online planner.
I decided to just get myself one ( first game in 2 years since giving up my season ticket) and having ordered it went to VP to pick it up 20 mins later
The guy in front of me asked if he could get three seats together and he got them no problem.
So it's worth asking !!
-

Im 49 and a half, would be interested but my brother in law is fecking getting married again tomorrow, otherwise would have gone for it. Dont look my age apparently, more like 55
-
You would get in no problem.
-
With a Villa mate. He started singing (young bordeaux, and a few local ales to blame) to the old yellow submarine tune of last year : staying up- staying up etc- - the Blues went down but we are staying up".
I miss that song.
Can we have it tomorrow please. Thanks. Need the arm exercise.
-
You would get in no problem.
Can you take my place at the wedding then? Dont think my missus would mind, suspect you would though :)
-
Lawro has tipped us to lose
Good
-
Benitez will taget Bennet. Wish we had an alernative LB. Think Bennet could of done with a miss in this game ........
We have heard that the back four is:
Lichaj, Vlaar, Baker and Stephens.

Should be a few goals in this. 2-2 with Gabby and Baker for us and Cahill and fat Frank for them

Not sure how you would know that. But Stevens is not the answer. And i would be very suprised to see him in the team ........
-
Nearly time to head off to the ground. The things we do to make sure you get a copy of the finest fanzine. It's still the middle of the night!
And done forget to say hello if you're passing, North Stand gates on Witton Lane.
UTV
-
3-1 us. Not necessarily what I think it'll be, but as my regular recent prediction, it's grabbed us at least a point.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
-

Hoppo
I am after a junior ticket for the lower holte end so my daughter can come and sit with the boys. She's 7 and now taking an interest in Villa :D
Let me know if still available (and lower holte)
Cheers

This is the first matchday in a long time where I haven't woken up in the morning feeling sick with nerves.

That's because, like most of us 1) You're probably not expecting any points from this game, and 2) We aren't as desperate for them as we were a week ago.

Hi im felix rodders's son and im 8 . i picked a draw because Villa have done extreamly well Chealsea have also done good aswell. I think the game will be prettey even.

I hope so, Felix.
A nice, quiet draw to almost end the season. That would do nicely.

Hi Paulie I have to agree with you. I think it'll be 1-1 Benteke will score for us, for Chelsea Lampard. Felix
