Good afternoon pop pickers
still here still breathing
bit mixed on this one as not sure which chelsea will turn up
last saturday's,wednesdays or a knackered one ,
i dont usually do stats especially when they always seem to be against us
Chelsea
Chelsea have won their opening home league match of the season in 14 of the past 16 seasons. Their only defeat during that period came against Burnley in 2017-18.
The Blues have only lost one of their last 22 home league games (W13, D8) - but that defeat came against Leicester last December.
Chelsea haven't begun a top-flight season with two straight defeats since 1973-74, when they finished 17th.
They have only once previously failed to score in both of their opening two fixtures of a Premier League season. That was in 1995-96.
Leicester City
Leicester scored 27 goals away from home in last season's Premier League, three more than they did at the King Power Stadium.
However, they have failed to score in each of their past three games.
This will be Leicester's 500th Premier League game - they are the 16th team to reach that milestone.
Brendan Rodgers has never beaten Chelsea in the 12 games he has faced them as a manager (D6, L6).
on the upside
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
I back Chelsea to take the three points.
Prediction: 2-1
But we have VAR and VARDY
loads of links out their today as its on sky sports but let me know if you have nothing and ill try to do detailed posts
interesting to see if we will go for it 4-3-3 \ 4-1-4-1 or 4-2-3-1
and will pratt make an appearance today
hopefully albrighton starts
off to try and get the boys sunday dinner done before 4pm
ill be back with the team news later
chelsea v city match day

Two bang average sides i'm afraid!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No. One bang average side at home that can no longer buy its way out of trouble and one side that looks really promising with a bright future.
Would hate to be a Chelsea fan right now
----------------------------------------------------------------------
its not that bad...even now we played as Europa winners and got third place.
beats div 2 thirty years ago.
Am a happy chelsea chappy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah but you’re an actual Chelsea fan to be fair
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And loved you guys winning the league btwπ
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We’ll always be grateful to Hazard and Chelsea
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Love the way True Blue labelled today’s man of the match a ‘d1 ckhead’.
Well played Maddison

Don't know who I'd give it too

It was Sky’s choice - I thought he really changed things for us in the second half

happy to help and roll spurs over, foxes!π

Despite the good second half I don’t think we had any stand out performers. Pereira was our most consistent if not spectacular performer.
I’ll give it to Praet. Transformed the game just by getting ready to come on, and ran the game when he did. Our best midfielder since Andy King.

Difficult to call a MOTM. Don’t think I would have rated anyone over 7 because of the first half. Maybe Söyüncü MOTM by a whisker.
