I've no confidence in that team I'm afraid, I think it's going to be 2 or 3 nil to Chelsea. McGinn, Watkins, Digne and Kamara are all just playing too badly. (Yes I know, that's the spirit!}
Chelsea fans will be saying similar things.

Not remotely confident for this. Until we find our defensive solidity again we’re going to be inconsistent. I hate it, but I think they’ll win 2-0.

We can't be crap forever, the left side is still a worry but Unai has the tools to fix it. I expect McGinn, Dougie and Kamara in front of the defence making us far more solid. Even Zaniolo has to play his defensive part down the left. Together, attacking and defending as a team, I think we can beat these comfortably.

I'm now more concerned with the thought of Watkins not taking our chances. We need Unai to check he's put his boots on the right feet, it's really that simple. Expect Watkins to pop his cherry today. I'm expecting a big Villa performance today.

How long will it be before we concede, less than 10 minutes probably!

Chelsea free WiFi asks what your reason for visit is, gives you 6 types of corporate answer and not a single "I've come to watch the football". Chris Heck taking notes.

Chelsea have a very strong central midfield and ours looks pretty weak.

Torres probably know Jackson pretty well.. I think we’ll be fine. Our three best summer signings all starting away at Chelsea, im excited.

We’ve gone for us scoring very early to conceding very early. Need to switch on and concentrate from the start.

Wonder how Chelsea fans of old feel about having had to cede The Shed to away fans...

I like the look of that formation, if that's how we actually line up.

That left flank will be crucified by any reasonable PL team. No idea where Chelsea are at but our team looks wide open to be countered against. Simply had to start Ramsey on the left. Kamara very fortunate to retain his spot.
