I think Chelsea will enjoy running at our full back Ton.Tough game!! A point would be a bonus considering we are still building a system.

Stick with the 433. The right back is an issue - the slow Zabaleta or the defensively dodgy Fredericks. Either way, one has a weakness which will suit one of the most in form players of the season in Hazard.

Their midfield is a lot better than Everton's but our trio impressed me against Everton, we have to stick with them and hope.

I'd be surprised if he made any changes tbh. Can toss a coin between Cresswell and Masuaku imo.

Don't expect anything out of the game tbh. Chelsea have better players than us right ascross the park and that usually tells in the end.

But sometimes, like last season, the unexpected happens so we can all live in hope. As for the line up I go along with the "if it ain't broke" theory. There were still obvious weaknesses against Everton that a better side would have exploited but we put on a decent performance and we don't have defenssively capable full backs, apart from Zabaleta who is getting on now, so no point in switching things around imo.

We're going to fucking win :D

Before Ambramovich we had 36 wins to 32 loses against them. Since him it's 40-49, a run of 4 wins v 17 losses.

Saying that, we're 3 wins, 2 draws & 2 losses in the last 7 games.

Four wins after Sunday.

8.30am kick off for me.

Up the Hammers

Step forward Lucas Perez...this lad (apparently) can't wait to get on the pitch. No way did he refuse to warm up...it's just...he likes a bit of advance warning...like we all do...so tell him Friday lunch time...
