    I wonder who the false 9 for Chelsea will be

    Chelsea substitutes v Arsenal: Cech, Filipe Luis, Zouma, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Cuadrado, Drogba. #CFC

    Hopefully Fab as Ramires and Matic can be the defensive pair.

    Hazard up front with Fabregas just behind.

    I like.

    Be interesting to see how this plays out. The other day someone was saying they wouldn't captain Hazard if they thought he was playing in the "forward" role. Got to be good for him from a big chances pov if it is him in that spot.

    Possibly the other way around. Fabregas has more experience in that role than hazard

    Hazard(c), Fabregas and Ivanovic up now.
    Wouldn't mind if Arsenal scored as almost everyone has a Chelsea defender, and quite a few have doubled up.

    it was me and I'm worried if he is up top.
    it will not suit him. how would it ? back to goal etc etc
    I also have fabregas and hope its him even though he is a nice differential.
    most likely they will rotate

    It's all about Hazard and Fab for me now. Even though I have Terry would prefer Chelsea concede as both rivals have doubled up.

    Yeh presumably they will move around and it will be quite fluid. Definitely not a great position for him from a pure football point of view but you would think it would be good in respects of him being in a position to have a few big chances it may well be a good thing.

    It looks increasingly likely that Didier Drogba will be the only fit striker when #CFC travel to the Emirates on Sunday

    Remy & Costa have not progressed as hoped & the pair face a race against time for Wednesdays' game. Solanke will provide back-up #CFC

    @BenDinnery

    They were pretty awful with Drogba up front the last time. Hazard or Fab false 9 possible?

    Might I be permitted to cheer myself up by noting that I totally called it yesterday! :)

    Was about to say the exact same thing. How can that not be a foul? You can't give a player a pass on such a poorly timed challenge just because they are a GK.

    that happens in nearly every single match when a goalkeeper comes out to confront a player - and the player shoots, the keeps momentum brings him into the player - i wouldn't be surprised to see that happen again and i bet the commentators won't say anything, or will say "the ball was going off target".

    basically a flying punch and headbutt after the ball is gone !

    this one was different. he was extremely late . it was not just momentum

    I bet they don't. If that happened every match we would have a lot of penalties.

    It looks like a Chelsea player is going to need to get picked up and body slammed into the ref to for him to consider giving them a penalty today!
