Whats the latest on Chelsea, I have not been following them for awhile now, could not stand the pain.

How are there Keepers doing ? Whats the latest on Drogba... not sure if Lampards Head would be in the right place considering what he has on his plate.

[Joe King]

Drogba looks like he has had a falling out with Grant, Anelka has played more recently. Lampard according to reports will start tomorrow.

Their right back is their weakness in my opinion. Belletti and Ferraira don't look solid for me.

Essien is out with a suspension- thats a good thing.

[AFII]

Anelka has proved since his move to Chelsea why he is called Le Sulk so he won't be any problem.

[-V-]

Anelka hasnt been sulking at all. He's just off-form thats all. Good for us. Essien being out is a massive plus for us

[Rich]

Essien has been great for them recently

He had fluid drained from his knee recently didn't he?

[Craig_H]

He had fluid drained from his knee recently didn't he?

Yeah, but it was only because Grant was thirsty.

[The Erectile Banana]

Essien has been great for them recently

Essien has been immense for them recently - a big loss for them.

Babel and Aurelio could have some joy down the left flank against Ferreira who is average at best.

I think Arbeloa may start on Tuesday with Carra and Skrtel in the middle. Don't see any other reason why Sami would have been risked at the weekend.

RB is a weakness for Chelsea, it has been for three years!

I'd be tempted to start Bennanoon out there; tire out them out and then blitz it in the final 20 with Babel.

Also agree re: Hyypia; never performs well against Drogba. Skrtel and Carragher in the centre for me.

[RedsFan83]

inclined to agree re: unleashing babel late on. as an impact sub he is always a weapon, but when he starts it just doesn't seem to happen for him.

and i doubt sami is going to play ... arbeloa RB for me.

[JPK]

Pepe
Arbeloa Carra Skrtel Aurelio
Xabi Monster
Kuyt Gerrard Yossi
Torres

Subs: Crouch,Voronin,Sami,Riise,Lucas,Pennant and Charles.

2nil win to us.

[andyinswinton]

I think the only thing to decide tomorrow is who plays at center back and who plays at right back.

Personally, I'd start with Carra and Skrtel at center back with Arbeloa at right back.

Actually thinking about it I agree with the sentiments especially Babbs as an impact sub, Whats the deal with Finnan .. has he been injured or something ?

I like the nickname "Babbs". Sounds cool and in no way reminds me of Phil.

[Sprouty]

Are Carra and Gerrard on yellows going into this match?
