Terry's ruled out of this one .... I'd stick to a winning team.

Lucas would be good to wind up Costa potential red card there and with Luiz at the other end that's two who could see red. William may be too quick for Milner and Hazard has the potential to run the game but other then that I'm feeling confident,we look hungry and Contes men have yet to be tested really.Away to the Gooners,Spuds and now Chavs in the first five games is really unkind but the Redmen are doing us proud in the capital so far.

well Can is probably coming back
do we really want to press chelsea. interesting to see if lucas comes back into midfield, and origi hasn't started a single match this season, many questions to be solved.
herc is right big test this one, you could almost bet your house on chelsea getting in the top four (I don't advise it) I'm not sure we have any option but to press them, as I doubt we could successfully play keep-ball against them, they're technically a very capable side. If we let them build a head of steam against us we could well be steamrolled I fear. My confidence...if that's what it is! Is coming from a belief, or perhaps hope, that they haven't found their mojo yet. I think we just have to man up and go at them and play our own game, which is built on an all action pressing style. If we play their game I'd be worried. that's most of the reason why I'm saying is it wise to try to press them as I'm wondering they could do that to us, they put an extra guy in midfield when we faced them in the pre-season friendly. I have no problem with us sticking to what we have done so far just think slightly adapting could be sensible.

i will go with least possible tweaking to the winning team.
Lucas might do better in holding midfield role. did most good things against Lesta.

I think we're going to struggle against the physicality and power of Kante and Matic in this game, it's a real shame for us that Emre Can won't be fit as I'd have definitely started him.
I'm not convinced on Wijnaldum from what I've seen so far. I'd be tempted to leave him out, then play Henderson, Lallana, Firmino, Coutinho, Mane and Sturridge. Very attacking I know but we don't have the power in midfield to compete, or the solid defence to sit back on so we may as well just attack them!

Big game this one, but I think we're getting them at a good time, as they've not quite settled into any kind of rhythm under their new manager just yet.
10 points from 4 games? Winning their first 3 then drawing away at Swansea, a game they should have won comfortably. Not sure how you can say they have no rhythm?
