Team should be:

__________Sanchez__________
Gusto__Tosin___Colwill__Veiga
_______Caicedo__Enzo_______
Madueke___Palmer____Sancho
__________Jackson__________

Or we match them up in midfield and go with:

__________Sanchez__________
Gusto__Tosin___Colwill__Veiga
___Lavia__Caicedo__Enzo_____
Palmer_______________Sancho
__________Jackson__________
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought Caicedo was suspended
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would go with a team that matches them in midfield but start Nkunku over Jackson.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fofana and Cucu suspended

Who the feck is Noah?

Should we expect another 0-0 draw tomorrow

Have we had any 0--0 draws under Maresca?

We always draw with Liverpool & they're usually tight games with us cancelling each other out.

0-0 is a solid prediction.

Can't see a 0-0 with our defence and the attacking talent on show for both teams.

Yes, I've put us down to win by the same score

United struggling again, will be surprised if ETH is still if they lose today

Yep, but around that is a bunch of draws. Two for Poch, two for Potter & two for Tuchel in the last three years, most of them 0-0.

Wouldn't surprise me tbh. We've been due a statement win for a VERY long time now.

*Correction

Four for Tuchel (forgot the two cup finals lol)

Haven't beaten them for a while, I think TT done a number on them 3 years ago at Anfield

I think that's the last win yeah. Burnley robbed us of taking their unbeaten home run for ourselves

It's worse than you think with Liverpool we have won 1 PL game out of the last 14 — the Covid game where Tuchel just arrived and Mount scored is our only win over them since the start of the 2017/18 season in the league. We've also lost three cup finals to them in that time It's been brutal.

We also haven't beaten Arsenal at home since the 2018/19 — so 5-6 years, which is mad.

And Manchester United, who we are also playing soon, we haven't beaten at Old Trafford since 2013 when Mata scored and Rafa was manager.

Record against the traditional big three has been abject last 5-10 years and it's annoying because Arsenal and United were banter clubs for much of that period.

Correction - since the start of the 2018/19 season with Liverpool, I forgot we beat them 1-0 at home in 2017/18 with a Giroud goal.

It's actually four finals. Think you forgot the Super Cup one w/Lampard?

Result in normal time was, you guessed it, a draw

Basically been hopeless against these top clubs since Hazard left, he was often the difference maker for us in these games

Big win against one of City or Liverpool is a matter of time. It should've happened already, we've been competitive against them both for a number of years now.

United & Arsenal I'm less confident as we usually play stinkers against them whether in-form or not. God knows why.

There was a 10 year window with Drogba/Costa and Hazard where we very good versus Arsenal, but now it's like back when I was a kid and we just couldn't beat them. They just used to bully us and then ruthlessly score with Henry or Ljunberg.

First season I watched Chelsea was 2000/01 season, we didn't beat Arsenal until 2005. Very much feels like that again.

Used to do great against United too, particularly at Old Trafford. As a kid I was always scared of those games but more often than not we'd draw or win.

The Arsenal dynamic is unique for me, I don't know a time when one of us hasn't dominated the other. Before 2005, the only win against them I can remember was a random 0-5 one in the League Cup.

Annoying thing about Arsenal back then was that period where we'd always be up on them at home, and someone on their team doing a madness & snatching it away - Winterburn, Kanu, Sylvinho, etc...

Most those goals are late 90s so thankfully I have no personal first-hand pain (seen the goals though) but I remember in the early 2000s we'd usually play well, but Vieira bullying us and Ljunberg, Pires and Henry all being lethal.

2002 FA Cup final Ljunberg steamrollering Terry and curling a beauty in is etched permanently in my brain.
