Strongest possible 11 by my count.

Bar Pedro who has played more than Willian.

RobertKK · 13-03-2017 8:05pm

Conte is scared

puts out strongest team...joking, makes pure sense, the league should be won, so try and add a cup.

Chelsea team:
Courtois
Azp Luiz Cahill
Moses Kante Matic Alonso
Willian Costa Hazard

Can't you just be happy with the PL title in your first season Conte?! The wave is that high against United now that I think we could win this game :pac:

A few teams tried to go 3-4-3 against Chelsea on a one off basis and generally hasnt worked out well for those teams.

Will be interesting to see if Utd can perform with the change in formation, I'm also assuming it will be a pretty compact and defensive Utd, they wont want to give away cheap goals.

Should be a good un.

Should be a routine Chelsea win , 4-0

I dont think we've lost to Utd since the 2012 game at the Bridge.

11 games unbeaten home and away against Utd, thats a pretty good record against a direct rival.

Here is what I was talking about earlier about the defeatist attitude....This is the Utd boards I speak of.

.

I (and this is just me) was being pragmatic when I said I'd take 2/3 - The Europa & 3 points against Boro, and looking at Chelsea's team for this evening only reinforces my pragmatism. But make of whatever you read on an internet forum.

Chelsea should internet this 17-1

I was asked to prove my point, I did, that's all.

Some amount of effort for such a stupid point to make

Expectancy is that utd are up against it tonight going on Chelsea form, utd selection issues, the fact that Chelsea have had a week to prepare and it's not as if we have been getting good results at the bridge over the last couple of seasons
It's OK for fans to be realistic in this case

I personally think writing utd off is a bit of a laugh and we are always capable pulling out big results

I'd be confidant that this won't be a whooping like it was earlier in the season and that utd could get a result and will piss off a few "neutrals" to boot

Classy bunch.

For a neutral (with a side in the semi final) thats not half asking for much.

I'll gladly take injuries galore and as many red cards as possible! Obviously not looking for any long term injuries but don't let that stop your attempt at moralising me

No effort, I have been reading the thread and just had to go and quote the multiple posts to back up my point, they were lined up like sitting ducks, if I wasn't asked to prove it or basically being called a bullsh1tter then I wouldn't have bothered.

marklazarcovic · 13-03-2017 8:38pm

4-4 aet.

Who are you? And what are you quoting my post from another thread in here for?

I'm going for 2-1 United in 90 minutes

You didn't really prove anything apart from that united fans aren't overly confident. You said we weren't bothered by the cup which we clearly are?

You said it was way down the list of priorities which it aint it is second now after the Europa league most fans would love to win the cup and qualify for the champs league that way what fan wouldn't?

Read back through this thread then join the dots.

Rayne Wooney · 13-03-2017 8:44pm

Defeatist attitude you say, no shame in admitting possibility getting knocked out by the league leaders in the quarter finals when you've already won a domestic cup.

Not like getting knocked out in the 4th round by a Championship team anyway

charolais0153 · 13-03-2017 8:44pm

Nil nil and Chelsea to win on penos...mourinh won't concede and I'll doubt they'll score either

NoviGlitzko · 13-03-2017 8:45pm

Is that reggae in Stamford Bridge or..

GreNoLi · 13-03-2017 8:46pm

I'm calling it now, Kante to have most tackles and interceptions.

jayo26 · 13-03-2017 8:51pm

Poor ander was screaming before Costa even touched him.

DDC1990 · 13-03-2017 8:53pm

I got a stream for this with no commentry just crowd noise.

It'a brilliant.

D14Rugby · 13-03-2017 8:54pm

Watching the game on TV and I just saw a half and half scarf, very tempted to turn the match off. Just reminded me why I prefer LOI to premier league these days
