Can see hazard being man marked or even double marked tomorrow, Liverpool know where the danger is coming from, and we could see another game where Hazard is targetted and stifled.
So tomorrow is a time for our players to step up, the atmosphere will be great, we have started the season well with all the off and on field changes we have dealt with.
Massive worry that pedro and rudiger may not feature, or will start on the bench.
So tomorrow is a massive game for Willian, Barkley/kovacic and ffs please can we have a striker who can grab a goal!!!
Also a big game at the back if rudiger doesn't play.
Azpi Chris Luiz Alonso...
Not much pace there, gonna be an odd game. If we play at our best we can beat them, but if we approach the game with no tempo they could blow us away.
Players need to step up

To be fair I think Liverpool will focus on the damage they can do to us instead of what we can do to them.
If Klopp is trying to contain Hazard I could maybe see him sticking Milner on him on him.

One Liverpool fan I know said Milner will likely be tasked with marking out Jorginho. If so fascinating battle that'll be, one of the best man markers from midfield in the PL vs. one of the best in the world at finding space.
Gunna be such a fun game to watch. We saw aspects of how the styles clash on Wednesday, their press forces us back but coincidentally because we're forced back they can't counter us. If it were any other two teams/managers it would have 0-0 all over it, but because both styles are so extreme you know someone's gunna get hit hard. Can't wait

Chelsea shall win on the weekend with Hazard and Pedro if fit being the difference between the two sides in my view!

I could man mark Jorginho, he doesn't move much.
Willy looks knackered. Don't rate Barkley. Play Fabs and let Kante do the leg work.
Hazard is key, obviously.

1-0 Giroud!

We haven't been pressed properly yet other than City, where he admittedly was poor. He was notorious at Napoli for intelligent movement off the ball, gunna be a good test for him dealing with a man marker (if Pool do that). Also depends how high up the pitch we get obviously.

No Kante's Dad.Barkley is an asset to Chelsea team and Kante needs to be utilized like Conte used to do him in thw past.If Sarri starts with Giroud plus Morata upfront if Pedro is injured,I can see Chelsea scoring at least two goals v Liverpool tomorrow.It could be a surprising tactic to use v Klopp's Liverpool.

I'd just wind that Henderson mug up from minute 1.
There is no way Giroud and Morata both start.
posted on 28/9/18
Sarri won't play two up front. Neither Morata or Giroud are capable of dropping back into a false 9 type of role to keep the fluidity of the pass and move style. And we know he's not gunna play direct football so we're stuck with one striker systems till/if we sign such a player.

I don’t see Liverpool man marking Hazard. It’s not their style and does not play to their own strengths. I believe they will stick to their pressing game with particular attention to Jorginho. If they stop him then they disrupt Chelsea. The amount of chances Liverpool created on Wednesday, simply through pressing high up the pitch and causing Chelsea mistakes will encourage to do exactly the same again. Today we find out just how good Jorginho is.
