I reckon both teams will score tonight preferably silva and hazard.

Dr. Bre

kolarov better start that is all

kronsington

Any idea why chiriches didn't play for spurs??? I had just brought him in!

IsMiseMyself

I reckon it'll end 3-1 to City. Not expecting a good point return tonight at all.

AdMMM

Yaya and Hazard to score a hat-trick each tonight please!

Made a big mistake by benching Shaw and Bacuna this week. 12 points just left there

I don't particularly want Evans to be injured, but I can live with it as long as Chambers is too and Ward and Speroni keep their places (I think they will)

Ye Im in the same boat. I have ward, bardsley and azpil if he doesnt make it.

Unfortunately, I think Lemlin nailed it earlier. 0-0. Chelsea will park the bus and look for a point. Would rather a Hazard and Nastasic scoring in a 1-1.

A friend in work told me Jose said yesterday he was going to try and win the game. Is this true? I still can't see it happening.

I don't think there is a defence that ever existed that would confidently "park the bus" at the Etihad, Chelsea may try but I'd fancy City to score in the first half hour, after that all bets are off (Lemlins under 2.5 goals will certainly be) 4-2 to City

I will have the cash out screen open. If there's an early goal, I'll be taking my €1.90 offered profit and winning.

Praying Azpilicueta has a bug or something so Colback can come in for me.

Not out of the question that Mourinho would go for Cole and Ivanovic in a game like this.

he seems to really rate azpil defensively and picked him in games against pool, arsenal and utd recently.

You won't be getting any cashout profit on under 2.5 goals if there is an early goal!

Were Cole and Ivanovic both fit for the away games? I don't think the home game against United is a good measure because Mourinho seems to approach the games entirely differently.

The arsenal game Cole was on the bench. The pool game cole was on the bench and came on for the injured ivanovic. Utd game cole was on the bench. Azpil has started 12 of the last 13 league games the only one he missed was the home game against swansea on dec 26 id imagine to keep him fresh for the liverpool game a couple of days later. I agree mourinho approaches games differently but I would think cole has a better chance of playing in a game where chelsea want him for his attacking capabilities.

No oscar for Chelsea, Kolorov starts. Good start to the night so far

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Hopefully with the absence of Fernandinho it means Toure has to do a bit more defensively as Demichelis is not the most mobile.

CSF

Oscar dropped is somewhat of a shock?

alchemist33

Five City defenders? Kolarov on the wing?

Hopefully not. Lots and lots of City penalties too.

Hopefully they get as many as possible, but only after Hazard and Terry have scored/assisted several goals and get subbed after 61 minutes.

km79

Dzecko starting again. If he scores I'll be seriously tempted by him

SlickRic

damn you Mourinho.

no Oscar. I hope City win 6-0 with a hat trick each from Kompany and Negredo.
