6 changes for Chelsea ! Hope they're not gonna outfreshen us.

6 changes because they just got battered at Arsenal. Nothing to do with staying fresh and rotation. There is infighting at Chelsea and so Lampard who is under immense pressure is trying to shake things up yet again. Their bench cost more than our entire 20 players, and yet they don't have a consistency at the moment. Now they are good enough in terms of individual talent to change that so let's hope it isn't today.

Don't dispute any of that but the fact remains their XI is far more rested than ours. Hope our fitness levels maintain the high quality they've shown recently.

Both their regular CBs, Zouma and Silva, not in the starting line up.

Yup, there's goals to be had. Fancy SJM to find his shooting boots today.

Azpilicueta returns and he is usually a big influencer on how chelsea play these days.

I’ve just read that Chelsea’s bench is worth £241m.
Obviously buying a bench from Harrod's is not going to be cheap.

There are goals there for us looking at the Chelsea line up. We can get at them, no Zouma is a big positive. Hope we can keep our energy levels up. If so we can win this. COYL.

Giroud and Mount worry me.

Lampard is a prick. Hope we win. Can’t wait to see his miserable face post match.

He’s a fraud.

COST £241m I can easily believe.

Worth £241m? Nah.
