Very important match, this. I know many of us don't really expect us to win the league but if its going to happen at all, this is a match we'll need to win. Not even a draw would cut it imo. A loss could see us tumbling down the table but I hope I'm wrong. However it goes, this is certainly going to be an entertaining match.

Arsenal FC:



I expect Arsenal to field this team. If we're going to limit Arsenal, Mikel has a lot of work to do concerning Cazorla.

Player to look out for: Lucas Podolski(I'm looking at you Ivanovic....)


You won't be feeling on top of the world by the time we're done with you, Mr. German

Chelsea FC:



More like what I want to see than what I expect. Would prefer to see Sturridge ahead of Torres, assuming he's fit by Saturday. I also wouldn't mind Moses at RW. Don't be surprised to see Hazard down the middle and Bertrand at LW(plus Ramires at RW & Lamps CM ). RDM might want to go conservative here.

Player to look out for: Oscar dos Santos(calling it now )


If he does start of course....

Spoiler:

Lampard is a doubt for the game.

Was hoping to see Mikel-Ramires anyway.

Would be lying if I told you I was upset about this. Not that I want Super Frank - or any other player for that matter - to be injured of course, but it would force Robbie to use the better option of either Ramires or Romeu paired with John Obi. Can't afford to play players that are second best for this match just because we feel we have to.

so excited for this match, hopefully it is a cracker! and not a 5 3 loss.

I feel a win coming on, just to silence those nosey gooners.

I'll miss this match! Office trip this weekend

Better get your prediction in early, and sucks to be you.

Yip our pivot will decide this game...

Dider Drogba la la la la

Can't we sign him on a 1 game loan just for him to score against them again?

thats what happens when you put a world class CF against a back line who over the years have looked almost scared of Drogba and an absolute useless scrub in goals

Shamwetorres couldnt have that effect or Arsenals U16s side

I have a feeling we will play with this line up:

but I would love to see Oscar instead of Bertrand.

I also cannot predict which way this is going to go, should be a great matching.

dam it lampard is fit to face arsenal

Last season they demolished us both times (3-5 and a lucky 0-0) so Im not very confident, I think it'll end up in a draw with 2 or 3 goals each (I really dont trust our defense) but a win would be great since United plays Spurs and City right now is struggling and they play at Craven Cottage too

[color:bfe1=#fff][color:bfe1=#fff]Chelsea TV confirmed

Iva - Luiz - Terry - Cole
Mikel - Ramires
Mata - Oscar - Hazard
Torres

Really need to be a bit more lethal in the final third. We look too stagnant there.

need to see more of Mata

Torres. No cutting edge with him up there.

But don't try to tell this to Kick

HHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

I really like your playing style (Azzuri style)... And A.Cole is great

hey fellas, congrats. You guys thoroughly deserved the 3 points. Hopefully we learn from our mistake.
