I think we will lose, Chelsea are starting to look good again. Edit: however they do have their Champs League tie a few day later after so I wouldn't be surprised to see a few players rested.
Sorry SFTW....not allowed to say lose on here, this is the really positive were going to win thread........ Go stand on the naughty step for 5 minutes please
No matter Chelsea's recent upturn of form, they've not looked properly "good." To my mind, we'll find out rather quickly how "good" that good form is. 2-0. They're not scoring. Not even Willian from a free-kick.
We had a very hard fought win at Swansea and it showed what depth and options we now have. We achieved the win with no wanyama, banned and with mane and tadic as unused subs and only 16 minutes of Austin. Add a fit jrod to that bench that gives us great attacking options. With this season's other signings now fulfilling their potential we should be in for a very good run in. A double over them this season would be a real highlight and some payback for selling us speedie and Dixon.
Clean sheet would be great. No reason why we can't beat Chelsea because our form is more important than theirs. We don't concede, and we can score goals so I'm going for 2 - 0
After such a positive build up to the match i'm going 3-0 to Saints and might put a cheeky tenner on it.
