Sunderland Team News
Gus Poyet could name some changes from the side that drew away to West Ham as Adam Johnson coming in for Fabio Borini while Fletcher might start the game with Giaccherini missing out.

Jack Colback is a major doubt after coming down with illness prior to the West Ham game

Chelsea Team News
The Blues who have a important London Derby against Arsenal on next week will look to rest some major players for the fixture.

Mark Schwarzer is likely to start between the sticks with Ashley Cole likely to fill in at left back. Lampard and Mikel are set to play as both the players were rested for the clash against Crystal Palace on weekend. Demba Ba may finally get a game as both Eto’o and Torres could be kept fresh for the Clash against Arsenal.

Poyet
“Jack is still recovering,” Poyet said. “On Thursday he turned up at the training ground and didn’t look good so we sent him home.

“Let’s hope he can be part of the side for Tuesday.”

Mourinho
“I practice a lot and we always lose on penalties,” said Mourinho. “This time we don’t practice.”

Packed with useful information there Bri

 

Our best chance of a trophy for yonks...Bring it on...

 

Would you like me to make things up?

 

Norwich has to be the priority but that doesn't mean we can't field a decent side. Chelsea have gotten a little fortunate that there next game isn't till the following Monday (albeit their biggest game thus v away at Arsenal)

For me id do something like

-----------------Mannone-------------------
Celustka-----Oshea----Roberge--Dossena
-----Cattermole--Gardner---Colback------
Johnson------------------------------Mavrias
------------------Fletcher---------------------

Leaves Brown Bardsley Ki Larsson (poyet seems to like him) Giaccherini and Altidore fresh for Norwich

 

Why not marra, most people one here do ..........

 

Well the press do and you are are so much better than them. lOL
