Have our players been allowed to travel away with family etc - not seen any images of them sunning themselves in Dubai etc

Surely all should be fit and available for this game - if so then go strong and win it
McGinn is/was in Dubai, he was pictured on the beach with Maguire and Shaw which was fairly unsavoury viewing

Carlos and Moreno were also in Dubai - together with wives.

I think skiing is one of the activities that PL footballers are banned by their clubs from doing, injured or not.

It would be an unnecessary way for a player to get injured. Their career might go downhill from there.

With remarks like that you are on a slippery slope.

From the other Chelsea thread

Every game this round that is at a PL ground has VAR. Apart from ours. The ties at Bournemouth, Fulham, Liverpool, Spurs, Everton all have VAR.

8 Chelsea v Aston Villa
Referee: Robert Jones
Assistant referees: Ian Hussin & Bhupinder Singh Gill
Fourth official: David Webb

Nothing suspicious about that!

They've even got a former player as the 4th official.
