Chelsea v Aston Villa Match Thread

Surprised he's left Onana out.

Saving him for Arsenal's set pieces.

Good shout.

Yes and it gives us more mobility in midfield.

[Chip Butty 111]

Kamara is better with Tielemans alongside him. Not surprised Watkins is on the bench,  Malen deserves a start. This is a proper test of our credentials...

Are we in it or are we in the mix for best of rest next 2 games

We are right in it...who's betting against us..

[Jane]

I moan about Watkins more than *almost* anyone, but it's disconcerting to see him not in the 11.

So what is it exactly that you want?

I wanna get loaded and have a good time. And that's what I'm gonna do.

*applause*

A win puts us 10 clear of 6th. Get it done Villa.

No bookings for Cash & Kamara. No gifts, then we've got a chance. Whatever happens they've been brilliant for the past 3 months.

I'd take a draw.

[JUAN PABLO]

would be well happy with a draw  tonight.

we can get something , I believe ....

[Sexual Ealing]

Fuck the draw. Let's have these Surrey racists, all of them c-words.

Would rip your arm off for a point, the form is great but the performances have been very average

[PeterWithesShin]

Vital game for Emery to keep his job.

[JUAN PABLO]

got townsend on instead of Smith

[PaulWinch again]

Would rip your arm off for a point, the form is great but the performances have been very average

I would also take a point, but performances average? We weren’t amazing against Manure Utd, but we were excellent against Arsenal.

[PeterWithesShin]

Won't get away with many of those

[JUAN PABLO]

good chance for Palmer

[Sexual Ealing]

I would like to withdraw my previous comment and will pledge to learn to respect the point.

[Chris_Jephcott]

I’m feeling anxious. Would take a draw
