Chelsea go to Burnley who have won 5 in a row.
Chelsea lost to Burnley at SB back in August
Chelsea go to Burnley who have won 5 in a row.
I think the point is that people are stressing about the strength of our team because of our fixture, but seemingly assuming Chelsea will get 3 points. When in reality, it's much more likely we will make ground on Chelsea this week. Football isn't that simple, but we are in a healthy position.Why isn't it?
Our run has come to an end just like Burnley's inevitably will. It's a stupid point to make to try and suggest Burnley will definitely get something against Chelsea.

I'll have to agree to disagree. Maybe it's the pessimist in me but I can just see us having one eye on the weekend and not getting the job done tonight. Not to mention that Chelsea's tails will be up after a massive morale booster at the weekend.I think the point is that people are stressing about the strength of our team because of our fixture, but seemingly assuming Chelsea will get 3 points.

I'm not making predictions or being negative/positive, I'm just saying, on paper, Burnley is a harder game and I'm sure 99% of neutrals would agree.I'll have to agree to disagree.

Footballs a funny thing. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

At the pub.Anyone know where people are drinking pre-match? Heading down early afternoon
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t follow any team yourself.
Kanes isn't tired, hes out of form.would play the strongest team....possible tweaks:
1. Kane maybe on the bench with an eye to his fitness and the weekend
2. Wanyama comes in to CM and Dier at CB....or maybe even Toby?
