Yup. If Nat is fit, I wouldn't disagree with that one. Though likely someone will be ill!
 
Although he could be punished for the multiple acts of violent conduct he probably inflicted on Osman in the dressing room once they were both off.
 
Even if Clyne is deemed fit enough, I would keep him for Chelsea. Chambers has done a very good job deputising therefore there is no need to rush Clyne back.

---Lallana----------JWP---------Rodriguez---
-------------------Lambert-----------------

Subs: Davis, Yoshida, Fox/Clyne, Reed, Gaston, Gallagher, Osvaldo.
 
I think Chambers has done enough to keep his place. Would prefer to have Davis further up where he's been very effective this season. JWP to drop alongside Cork.
 
Chambers has done enough that we can ease Clyne back into the side rather than needing him back starting ASAP, but Nat is still the main man for me. I'd be perfectly happy with Chambers being our RB for years to come but unfortunately for him Clyne is still a cut above, I think he was easily the best RB in the league before he was injured. Very positive to know Chambers is cut out for the top level though and can be a very able back-up and can keep improving and pushing Clyne for that starting spot and hopefully he can just be just as versatile as he was in the youth levels and fill in at other spots as he did at LB the other day.
 
Big miss having Morgan out for this game. The pack will have to be shuffled again. Really hope Lovren is back, but it's only been a couple of days so who knows. Is Osvaldo actually injured or is he just under a disciplinary from the club in the same way that Boruc was when he had that altercation last season? Tough, tough game especially with all our injuries. Hopeful we can come away with a point but not expectant.
 
2 things about Chambers.. he can cover for Clyne or Shaw.. thus meaning that we don't need Mr Fox in the first team. Secondly he can also play wide right midfield thus reducing the need for a Puncheon type player. In fact tomorrow if both he and Clyne are fit it might be a good option..

....... Gazza....
Clyne Fonte Lovren Shaw

.... Cork... Davis.....
Chambers. Lallana. JRod
....... Lambert......
