Rudiger keeps his place over Christensen

Bakayoko should have started and shouldn't Cahill be back from suspension or has he been dropped for this match?

3 game ban for Cahill

No way should bak have started after last week. Still a distance from match fitness

Why so?That is too much in my opinion.

Straight red card is an automatic 3 game ban

Bakayoko isn't ready, he played last week because it was an emergency...he'll come on later in the match to continue his road to full fitness.
Yes Cahill is back but in all honesty he is not a better player than either Rudiger or Christensen so he doesn't get to walk back in even though he's captain. The thing he has over both if perhaps familiarity with system/team but I'm guessing that's not enough at the moment. Luiz is the leader of our defence so we should be alright for now.

Somehow thought it was was a 1 game ban...I stand by post above

Kuki Cahill scores more goals than any of our defenders and he is better than Rudiger.

I'm not sure if he's a better player than Rudiger but he is our best CB at scoring goals though and that makes him an asset for set pieces.
He'll have plenty of playing time but I think not nearly as much as last season.

Cahill deserves to sit for a while

I miss Ivanovic in a Chelsea shirt.
