Hard to know if I'd bring Todibo in. He didn't look on it against Bournemouth...guessing he'll have to play his way in against Liverpool mid week.

Good team, only change I’d make is Todibo for Stavros

Bowen back up front Antonio and Soucek out. Summerville in.

We need to pretend we’re starting the second half for the first half.

Not going to bother to predict a line-up because Loppy has surprised me with every team selection so far. But surely Antonio and Soucek won't start this one? Surely!? I suspect we'll start with the two DMs and bring on Soler for one of them after an hour. One thing I will say for Loppy which is an improvement over Moyes - whilst his starting line-ups have been questionable, he does respond to problems and makes good use of subs. I think a score draw is the most likely outcome.

This is one to really start on the front foot and go at them. So I have a horrible feeling Lopetegui will go into cunning-plan mode and try to “perfect” the setup from last game with Soucek and Antonio
“ahh we works harda in training and we puta the thingsa righta there is noa lasta gama onaly thisagama…”
I’ve got a bad feeling about this

Lope needs to be aggressive and positive and pick a side that can get Chelsea on the back foot and take the game to them. If we go at them and utilise our players strengths we will win this.
If Lope goes for the brick wall approach and Chelsea do us he will be under pressure.

I've had a nightmare that Chelsea win 5-2 with MOTD tossers all praising them and laughing at our poor signings.
Chelsea are a jeckell and hyde side. Obviously bags of individual talent but kami kaze spending and little on where its needed. I just dont think our team is ready or settled enough to take them apart on one of their good days.
