    Looks like we're playing not to win, rather than not to lose.

    Who am I to question Bielsa but I'm going to anyway.....

    Looking at that team (if that formation is correct) we have a right back playing centre back, a centre mid playing right back, a winger playing central midfield, a winger playing up front and a striker playing midfield.

    Think it will be a back three of Ayling, Llorente & Firpo.

    There's no way Bielsa will have a right footer as left side centre back in a back four, plus it matches up Chelsea's system.

    Hopefully. It does look like Werner and Havertz up top for Chelsea. Therefore a back 3.

    Saying that I don't think we play that well with a back 3.

    I'm desperately searching for positives but I can't find any today. Hopefully the lads can surprise me and Bielsa pulls a masterstroke.

    Harrison will have to pick up Reece James's forward runs down Chelsea's right flank with Shackleton doing the same with Alonso. Raphinha and Dan James will then try to exploit any space in behind those Chelsea wing backs if they push too far forward.

    I’m thinking if we only lose 2-0 it won’t look too bad

    I predict 3-0 to Chelsea followed by Bielsa blaming himself for lame tactics (again)
