"Chelsea have lost only 3 of their last 22 matches against Spanish opponents, home and away (W7 D12)."

John Stones out for 5 weeks..City have it tough now. Otamendi + Walker/Fernandinho CB? Maybe Rodri? Dunno if Mangala still hanging about
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The cynic in me might think Pep would be pleased about this given Stones's form...but he's desperate now

#CFC

Valencia have a decent team, not sure why they're struggling so much in the league

Pulisic, Pedro, Cal Grimsby it is.

Or Liverpool.

Sub : Caballero, Guehi, Barkley, Pulisic, Pedro, Giroud, Batshuayi #CFC

Managerial issues

Surprised Pulisic/Pedro or even Barkley not been utilised

CL debuts for Kepa, Mount, Tammy, Tomori.

Brilliant love it

Got a feeling Valencia will turn up tonight especially after the pasting from Barca on the weekend

Let's go Chelsea, let's go.🤣

Me too

I get the feeling Valencia players aren’t bothered tbh, didn’t they boycott the press conference with the new manager? Not a happy camp at all it seems

Yes, one of them was supposed to join the manager at the presser. Hope they're not bothered, it'll make life so much easier today with a difficult game at the weekend vs Liverpool.

Two old drinking mates refuse to go to Belfast city centre when Liverpool play in case they are on live, so I miss many Chelsea games

Mates are Everton and Utd, and so we got to meet up tomorrow instead for spurs or city.

I admired their dislike of Liverpool, but miss the chance to see Chelsea as I got rid of BT and Sky .

Cool story lol.

Any of your mates hate a team so much they refuse to contemplate ever seeing them play.😅😆

Expected some rotation, but I guess I can understand Frank being keen to start the CL well.

Inter 0-1 Slavia Prague

Frank going for continuity. Fair enough.

But early changes should be made if we're doing well - I don't want the players too fatigued for the Pool match. Though I guess Pool are pretty much at full strength tonight as well so hopefully any tiredness will hit them equally...

Pulisic not starting?
