We've been given 8945 tickets for Arsenal away in the cup. Have fun to all that go. 8945 Chels taking the piss at the library... It doesn't get much better than that!
How do you think we'll go KO ??? Arsenal do look pretty settled and not too shabby. Wish I was able to go, instead I'll be up at 4 am with my coffee !!
Wenger, true to form, will play the kids. We should have more than enough to beat them. Has Jose ever lost to Wenger?
“My thought is that I have to make a decision, and my answer is the under-21 team will have a very good experience in the Capital One Cup. We play Sunday against Manchester City, and Tuesday against Arsenal when the people decide the fixtures. “The players have ... two days. It's something I have to accept because I have no other option, but I have to prioritise, yes. The league is more important. After that we go to Newcastle, too, and probably it will be a good chance for the kids to play a good match.”
I think it is clear we will have to rest some players but Arsenal will probably do the same. Cech Ivan Luiz Terry Cole Ramieres Mikel Mata Oscar Hazard Torres Schwarzer Dave Luiz Cahill Bertrand Lampard Essien Willian De Bruyne Schurrle Eto That's 2 completely different teams we could put out (save for say Luiz playing both). Then have a bench with Mata and Hazard and Ramieres in case we need to change things up.
We have a great record at the Emirates. I think we've only ever lost there twice. With 9k there we can pretty much make it a home game.
It will be interesting to see what Jose does compared to what he said. I care little for the League Cup so i hope he does play u21's. We saw in the last round that losing players to injury is just not worth it.
I think your 1st Team is just about our best at this stage. That said, your 2nd team would be great to see at Arsenal.
True, but Stamford bridge is one of the few grounds I've been to that is just as bad along with Trafford and Craven Cottage
Always a fantastic atmos at the cottage when we play there. Especially for night games. Best ground as against stadium in the prem. Many chelsea fans favourite away day after Spurs and west ham. Personally it is my favourite
