    Trying to think who would start instead of Alonso?

    Terry in for Cahill I'm guessing.

    Imagine Batashuyaii, Willian both start. Kante in for Fabregas.

    I could see it being something like:

    Azpi,Terry,Ake,

    Moses,Matic,Kante,Alonso

    Willian Pedro

    Bata


    Please Jebus Pedro is rested instead of Hazard

    Costa has arrived with squad anyway (in tracksuit)

    If you go to the Chelsea fc Twitter they have a short video of players arriving.
    On phone so don't know how to link it here

    Hazard and Alonso not starting would be disappointing. I feel like I'd be lucky to get them both though.

    My complete guess...

    Begovic
    Ake Terry Cahill
    Azpi Kanté Cesc Alonso
    Loftus-Cheek Willian
    Batshuayi

    If Alonso and Costa come off the bench it won't be the end of the world. Come on Hazard!!!

    Hazard owners got fierce lucky.

    Not that he starts, but that pretty much nobody else that most people own did! Bar Azpi maybe.

    I literally laughed out loud when I seen that team
    DGWs
    We will never learn
    That's part of the beauty of it !

    Still hopeful Alonso will do a Pva off the bench !

    I really needed Alonso to start as league rival doesn't have him but has Hazard. He also has Costa so hopefully he stays on the bench.

    Main rival has Hazard, Costa and Fabregas while I just have Alonso so i suppose this is working out well for me. Could be a worry for the weekend though - I wonder does this mean we can expect a nearer full strength side against Sunderland on Sunday?

    Rival has both Hazard and Cesar you couldn't make it up.

    Ugh, no Courtois or Alonso. I knew that stupid goal at the weekend would be costly :(
