Chelsea build up

You don't have to 'stand by' your opinion though; You can change your mind and it will save you munching on your own words each time you log-on.

I'm not sure you can eat your words and stand by your opinion.

Stand by your man. Climb every mountain. Reach for the stars. Etc.

I can't see us losing this in open play. I think we'll only concede due to a dodgy decision or a set piece.

Incredibly tough ask to beat Chelsea. If they had Suarez they'd be miles clear at the top. If one of their strikers finally has a good day they're more than capable of walloping anyone. I suspect they'll be solid and tough to break down, pack the midfield and over power us at set pieces. They have the ability to break us down, but Jose knows we also have the ability, so it's a safer bet to be solid.

This is going to be a difficult game whatever the outcome, Mourinho is the master of stifling the opposition and I also wouldn't be surprised if he's instructed his back 4 to try and injure Suarez it's the type of thing he'd do. My big worry is that our vulnerability at corners and FK's will be exploited by the likes of Terry and Ivanovic who are excellent in the air.
However on the bright side their strikers are ****ing **** and their back 4 are susceptible to errors just like ours. I didn't really believe we could beat City at their ground but I do believe we are capable of winning this or at least getting a draw.

Hazard vs Johnson worries me a lot.

[Norbs]

Johnson ups his game against his old clubs

[Vermilion]

Lots of worries about this game, but an awful lot of hope too, would be so apt at this time of year; for Maureens home record to once and for all be smashed to smithereens!

[Norbs]

Like Everton's unbeaten run

[Shaggy]

There is an almost worrying sense of confidence among the fanbase

[Red_Polo]

Agreed. Nobody has won there in about half a century and all the predictions seem to be that we will! We're in with a chance, but it's a ****ing tough fixture. I'm neither confident nor resigned. Just nervous

Record only stands due to a dodgy penalty against wba. Basel beat them at the bridge this season too. We can win there no doubt but I'm unfortunately confident we will concede from a set piece too.

They've only beaten us twice in the last 7 down there.

[JohnDoe]

I am confident about our performance, but not the result, if that makes sense.
