Just thought, Bertrand must be unavailable for this one. Assume Bennett is going to start then, possibly against Hazard  :-\

**Logs on to Fantasy League team, selects Hazard as captain**
Done that two days ago.

It's my birthday today so Chavski is my birthday game. So I expect a comfortable win and EBJT to get stretchered off again. Any chance we can bring back Hutton for this game to man mark him?

Isn't Hazard likely to be up against Bacuna?

Hope your fantasy league award points to players as they watch or chase other players bomb up and down the blank, and plant 30yd free kicks into the back of the net

Most likely, yes. He usually plays on the left.

Given Chelsea have a big Champions League game three days after they play us, I wouldn't be surprised if Hazard was rested. Fingers crossed he is!

After seeing the Tottenham result I thought oh shit they are flying. But having watched the game, Tottenham handing them two goals on a plate then completely caved in. If Benteke turns up and Weimann gets his shooting boots fixed I can see an edgy 2-1  .........

If Lampard plays they'll win. If not, there's a lucky point in it for us.

Nobody has said "Happy Birthday" to PWS.
You are all barred.

I have not checked the Birthday thread yet though.

Happy Birthday PWS anyway.

we have had a nice rest now so should be nice and fresh in comparison to Chelsea.

the gap in terms of quality between both sides is stark though.

As others have said, Bennett or Luna up against Hazard has car crash written all over it.

Gabby could give Ivanovic problems and Benteke will surely be trying to target Cahill in all physical duels like Carew used to.

3-1 defeat I'm afraid.

Torres and A. Hole definitely out, Luiz may make the bench.

No fresh injuries for us, still only Libor, Herd, and N'Zogbia.
