Saw some other rumours that Bailly & Herrera were due to start. Fair to say the leaks haven’t been plugged yet Not a big fan of Mata in these top 6 games as his lack of speed on the break and fake pressing tend to hurt us. However with Jesse form as it is there are few options I guess. Not a fan of Matic coming back, but that subject done to death. Bailly will be great (most of his early form with us) or garbage (his recent form). We desperately need him to be the rock he once was.
Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Rudiger, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic, Willian, Hazard, Higuain
Ole says on Sky he basically picked the team as is midfield 3 who did so well for him early on before Herrera / Matic injuries.
Basically same old; - going forward, if Pogs performs we perform - defensively, we wont properly perform so need Dave to get back to performing when we mess up
Good attitude and desire from the boys so far. Let's hope they can keep this up for the whole game and not just for part of the game.
His absence and the impact it has on the team is looking pretty evident so far. Mindboggling that we couldn't fight harder to keep him.
Good play from Lukaku and nice pass to Rashford who couldn't do much .. Bailly almost 2-0 from the corner..
