Premier League - Arsenal vs Chelsea

Who's going to lead the line?

Is Hazard fit enough to play?

Hazard and Costa will be available from what I've read. Here we go again...

Chelsea team today: Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Oscar; Diego Costa

Chelsea subs today: Begovic, Cahill, Baba Rahman, Loftus-Cheek, Traore, Hazard, Remy

I have no idea what this washed up dutch moron is trying to achieve with this game.

Assume he wants to park the bus or something, what happened to Kennedy?

We've been shipping goals left, right and sideways of late, so I understand the desire to solidify a bit. But Matic has been abjectly useless the whole season and absolutely does not deserve to be back in the side, least of all away against the league leaders.

What happened to Ramires?

Same thing that happened to Kenedy – whatever that is...

COSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


What a game so far

GET THE AIYGLJFUHUKUTCVYB IN!

whoo hooooo!!!!!! 3 points, that was pretty intense for us lol.

what did you guys think of remy, he got in all the right places, but couldn't keep a hold of the ball whenever I thought he got it in a good position.  I liked hazard's cameo.  Just glad for the 3 points and we moved up a spot on the table

As I said in his thread, completely hopeless. Never a Chelsea player; and with any luck, won't be in a week's time.

Great game for Chelsea overall. Very impressed by Willian

Great performance by Chelsea.

Hiddink still unbeaten. No idea why you guys hate him so much. He has brought stability at the club if nothing else.

Who hates Hiddink, apart from Ade? Pretty much everyone on here was in favour of his appointment after Mourinho was sacked. I think it was pretty universally accepted that he was the best option we could conceivably get on an interim basis mid-season - and although there are several things that obviously could have gone somewhat better for him thus far, I think he's more or less proving that. There's been a perceptible uptick in our performances since his arrival both in effort alone as well as team setup. Put those things together and it's no surprise many of our players have performed better and in many cases have produced statistically more (Costa being the prime example) in our last 6 League games alone since he took over than they did for the entire 4 or so months up to that point under Mourinho.

Hiddink has brought stability, or at least chelsea are a bit rejuvenated. Hiddink is playing it safe for now. One concern is, that if arsenal weren't a man down, I feel we would have been run over multiple times.

I'm really happy for costa to score his goal, he's coming through. Also happy for fabregas to pick up form, I remember looking at his twitter and fb a month ago and thinking wow he's taking a lot of shit, he was getting blasted by being called a snake, a rat, and all sorts of stuff. Good to see hazard again, hopefully we can bring more out of him.

I am happy with Hiddink. Glad to get another win over Arsenal and happy to see us move up a spot.

We're only 6 points from top 7, which should be our realistic target. Maybe even top 6 as that is the worst we have done under Roman.

We've certainly got them beat in the league.

Also, only team we've taken 6 points off of this season.

And the only one we're likely to till May as well

Probably.
