Massive game this. We've done well against the "top 6" so far and the bridge has been a kinder place to go to in recent years. Need to reach deep and produce the same football as we did Wednesday night.

We have a terrible record here so going with a draw, then hopefully we win the rest of the games before this poxy WC break.
Having said that, they haven't really played anyone this year in the PL apart from Spurs at home 2-2!

Unbeaten in 6 at the bridge is far better than it was leading up to that. |

I will refrain from making any comments about Fred…

I’d take a draw here.

I'm guessing an unchanged team from Erik. That seems to be his approach.
What I think made a big difference against Spurs was Casemiro Fred and Bruno all playing well. That dominance in midfield allowed us to control the game and win despite wasting quite a few chances.
If Fred and Bruno revert to earlier season form then the game will be more finely balanced and depend a lot on who takes their chances. Chelsea have kept 5 clean sheets under Potter and are well organized if unspectacular and will be less of a pushover than Tottenham. But a good test for us and really looking forward to the game.

We’ll win this if we get a fair crack from the officials.
2-1 to Chelsea so.

We will still struggle upfront with 10 chance Rashford but it was such a delight in the last game, I am hoping more of the same here and we sneak a narrow win. Only thing on the back of my mind is Potter did one over ETH first day of the season, we were poor but he knew where to hit to make us look piss poor  |

With the newly found steel in defence, providing we take our chances up front we’ve got this.

Over the last few years I used to dread playing big rivals away but now with our much improved team and(for once) a manager who actually seems to be in charge I’m looking forward to see how we go.
If our attack was up to the level it should be I would fancy us to win here but as things are I’d say 0-0 or 1-1.
We all know we are not there yet but opposition fans are now admitting we are finally getting out act together.

With the exception of the two Milan games, which have shown the gulf between Serie A and the other big leagues, Chelsea have looked like is this season. Ponderous and lacking a real cutting edge.
Saying that, this game will either be 0-0 or 8-8.

They’re missing some big players for them.
This game is there to be won.
2 sides that are going through transition with 2 quality manager.
