Chelsea Build Up

[danperkins]

Cech is surely out, Terry will probably play but he'll still fresh from ankle sprain. I wouldn't wanna be chasing after Suarez and Sterling with a dodgy ankle.

What's the story with Ramires...is he suspended?

[Leyton388]

If Terry is touch and go for Sunday I don't think Jose will risk him with the second leg looming a few days later. It would be a massive risk to play him on sunday and risk him doing more damage.

I think I'd rather the paceless Terry played against our forward line if I'm honest.

Unless his replacement is dreadful. Who would be his replacement?

[Leyton388]

Luiz

Luiz

Or Ivanovic at CB.

[john316]

Couldn't have gone any better tonight for us. His hand is being forced for our game with the injuries/suspensions.

[dom9]

Luiz

Or Ivanovic at CB.

Hmm. Ivanovic is not too bad though?

[Norbs]

Del

Hmm. Ivanovic is not too bad though?

No way he'll play Luiz at the back against us.

Chelsea to discover their fate as Jose Mourinho, Rui Faria and Ramires await decision from Football Association
Trio could face bans after Saturday's fiery Premier League contest with Sunderland

Chelsea will learn today whether Jose Mourinho, Rui Faria and Ramires will all be punished over their conduct during the club’s explosive defeat by Sunderland.

Assistant coach Faria and midfielder Ramires face bans for confronting referee Mike Dean and striking Sebastian Larsson, respectively, while manager Mourinho could be charged over his controversial post-match comments.

The Football Association was still consulting lawyers, on Tuesday night, to determine whether Mourinho’s sarcastic praise of Dean and referees' chief Mike Riley constituted a breach of its rules.

The Portuguese has provided the governing body with an interesting test case as to what precisely constitutes casting doubt on the integrity of officials.

The Faria and Ramires cases are more straightforward.

Mourinho was forced to hold his assistant back from Dean following a Sunderland penalty that ended his astonishing unbeaten home record in the Premier League.

Faria was sent to the stand and will almost certainly be fined or banned from the touchline.

Ramires is sweating on a four-match suspension for an incident that was missed by Dean but will be scrutinised by the FA’s video-review panel.

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s potential title decider against Liverpool will be refereed by Martin Atkinson.

Atkinson refereed this year’s Capital One Cup final between Manchester City and Sunderland.

He also took charge of the 2011 FA Cup final between City and Stoke City but suffered criticism after a semi-final the following season for awarding Chelsea a ‘ghost goal’ against Tottenham Hotspur.

Lets destroy these ratbags. Dont see us losing whatever happens so we'll still be in an amazing position but hopefully we break the bus and make it a bit easier then we can watch and see what City do with their two aways.

[Che Scouse Guevara]

Liverpool away for the league or Atletico at home to secure a place in the final? Deffo going to go all out against Atletico I reckon, got more of a chance winning that.

It could well be a good thing he starts - it's like when Kompany got injured for our match, we were all gutted he started but he had a terrible match and was at fault for the 1st and 3rd goals.
