    7:30 Eastern in the States
    4:30 Pacific
    12:30 local

    It's derby time.

    Chelsea injuries: Luiz, Baba, and Drinkwater
    West Ham injuries: Kouyate, Collins, Chicarito, Noble, Fonte, Byram, and Reid

    Beer pairing: Try a vanilla porter this early. I like Breckenridge's Remarkable out of Colorado as we as Atwater Brewery's Vanilla Java Porter for that coffee flavor I need in the AM.

    If you don't like something that heavy try a Pecan beer. Lazy Magnolia makes a Nut Brown Ale that is really good. If you're still looking for something lighter try Seguin Brewing Company's Honey Pecan Cream Ale but it's hard to get. Abita makes a Maple Pecan that's aged in Bourbon barrels. Yeah, it's real.


    Drinkwater apparently has been running a pretty high fever so that's why he's out. Not sure if he'll be ready for Huddersfield Town on Tuesday.

    Likely lineup:

    Courtois
    Dave AC Gaz
    Moses Fab Kante Baka Alonso
    Morata Hazard.


    West Ham are shit. Moyes is shit. They're most of their quality. Expect Carroll to score a brace and we get a draw....

    I made a typo at the bottom. They've lost most of their quality through injury.

    wouldn't be too surprised to see a 3-4-3 or some rotation with two games coming up. though i would imagine most of the rotation will be seen on the tuesday game.

    Apparently Morata had a scan done and is not even a guarantee to be match fit enough to be in the squad.

    Reported by the Evening Standard.

    I mean hey.. if Michy is fit let him start. Changes the striker dynamic up but its West Ham.. we need to be able to win games with or without him. Or even throw Willian and Eden up top.. or the Pedro-Eden-Willian front 3.

    other than that: KILL KILL KILL

    Bloody stupid to pick up a yellow like that after a few minutes though. Hopefully will come back to bite him.

    Morata needs to learn to stay on his feet you do not get free kicks and pens for that in England. He should have learnt that by now

    We seem to struggle every year with teams in the relegation zone

    Dave keeps letting his man get past him and not for the first time. One of the best readers of the game has not been his usual self for a while.

    We also need to bin these short goal kicks with the defenders on their own goal line the oppositions all know we are doing this they press on mass and we loose the ball deep in our own half

    We need to stay on our feet.

    So does Antonio. These ********ing idiots doing this match need to call a spade a spade though.

    We've slightly grown into this. Their pressure is causing us problems though.

    Another chance but Morata just can't get much on the header.

    The Passenger just gifts the ball away right on the edge of his own box. Infuriating lack of concentration again. I'd honestly give Luiz his minutes when healthy, at least he'd make something happen.

    I've been impressed by Bakayoko's play so far. Zappacosta needs to pull his head out of his arse. Alonso continues to struggle.

    Gaz and Dave are both pushing way too far forward.
