Big game this weekend against the champions, Man City. Don't think we've got much of a chance but we can hope!
Team I'd pick for the game:
Kepa
Zappacosta Azpilicueta Rudiger Emerson
Kante Jorginho RLC
Pedro Hazard Willian
I'd go with Azpi at CB for this game because City don't have much height and usually go with low crosses rather than the aerial route. Both Luiz and Christensen have demonstrated they cannot play in a back four. Alonso needs a break and Emerson deserves a chance. Gone with Zappa as feel he is quicker than Azpi so can get up and down but he'll be up against Sane which could be a problem.
RLC offers more than Kovacic going forward so I've gone with him.
Playing Giroud/Morata has proved so far to be a waste of time in most games as they're both not up to the level, as to why I've gone with an interchanging front 3. Willian is pretty poor but he haven't got anyone else in that position who Sarri trusts.
Team Sarri will pick:
Kepa
Azpi Rudiger Luiz Alonso
Kante Jorginho Kovacic
Pedro Giroud Hazard

I dropped our conversation into my occasional interaction with the Mrs;
"Well if you said, we couldn't afford to go to Hannah's wedding (In Weymouth tomorrow) you couldn't really afford to go to Chelsea, could you".
Was not the response I was hoping for!

I hope Sarri just starts RLC and Emerson with Giroud and Pedro v Man City.

Pedro Hazard Willian
Hazard as a CF where he wont see any ball because Willian cant beat his opponent neither cross and Pedro trying to do things on his own.

Hazard as a forward is a disaster waiting to happen.I would prefer RLC as a striker v Man City today.
