ACS's View
I think we will get a draw here.
A few lads will be making their debut which will raise the general team up quite a bit.
A full house will help make is a noisy return for Demba too.
I'm going 2-2.

4-1 to Newcastle

Sissoko ( 1)and Van Wolfstodger hattrick

 

Well done ACS, I almost forgot about the match thread with everything else happening, at least you're keeping us focused,

 

I have a feeling we may be able to do well here. We'll have to see if Chelski's lightweight midfielders will be able to combat Sissoko and Cabaye in form. For me, Ramires and Lampard are the only one's who can, but we may be able to dominate them if we play well.

 

I would usually say that I'd take a draw but Chelsea have dropped points lately and with our new players I really think we can get 3 points out of this one.

I remember the last time we beat them at home it was one of the last games of the season, 1-0 when Bramble scored a volley from a corner lol

 

On one hand we could take a right thumping, yet I feel we might sneak at least a draw.

 

Anything out of Chelski will be good, and if we catch them on one of our better days, aka Villa, and they're a bit out of shape, we could get all three points.

Here's hoping.

 

Is Hazard still suspended? He inspired their victory at Stamford Bridge earlier this season so would be great if he didn't play. Hopefully they start with terrible Torres up front and we might have a chance.

Hope that Pardew plays Anita, Cabaye and Sissoko in midfield, that would be a beastly middle that could give Chelski a run. How I wish HBA comes back, but would love Marv to be back in the meantime to play with Gouff and Cisse.

 

Agree with all that.

 

Woohoo!

 

Where the hell Is Ben Arfa !!!??

 

This. That is all.

 

Let's hope we play well in both halves and not go walk about in second.
Jonas has to be dropped.

 

Due back sometime this month but no date given as yet.

 

I'm going for 3-1 with a Jonas hattrick, when he scores his third he'll pull a jimileysbaldhead mask out of his shorts with a speech balloon saying " I f*cking told you so "

 

If he does that I'll give you my ST.

 

Following AP press conference I predict he goes with the same team as at Villa which means starts for Jonas & Perch at the expense of Anita and Marveaux who is now fit.
I would prefer we play with Anita as holding MF and midfield of Sissoko, Cabaye with a front 3 of Gouffron, Cisse, Marveaux.

 

Don't think we'll go three up front against Chelski.

Big plus for #nufc to know that Juan Mata ruled out of the #chelsea game tomorrow.

 

I can see Cisse wanting to outgun Ba here.
