Bournemouth looks the tricky one although the try to play which may not help them. We'll probably find a way to make the West Ham game really hard.

Leeds could be tricky as well if the second string don't play as they did against Spurs.

I remember Rodgers went to a 3-5-2 just like Chelsea and he had some success - for a while, until teams worked out how to play against us in that formation. I think we can win those games and hope the managers playing Chelsea will work out how to combat a 3-5-2. I'm sure it's possible playing two wingers to keep the wing-backs on the back foot and two up top in between the back three. A fluid 4-4-2 if you will.

Possibly, I thought the same the other day, but I'd say Chelsea's players are both better and more suited to it.

They look very hard to beat.

You got to remember that cfc have prem league winners as players, i can see them going the distance with us.

We play 3-4-3 not 3-5-2. And we have some very good players in our team

Only reason cfc failed last season was because the players stopped playing for maureen; the whole Dr fall out screwed them.

Maureens gone and costa, matic and hazard are back to being top players which of course they are. Its a slither between lfc..cfc and city...anyone could do it.

I expect quite a strong side against Leeds, playing them Tuesday and Bournemouth isn't until the Sunday. Big game and a chance to reach the semis. The way Leeds played today we shouldn't have too much difficulty seeing them off.

but no europe is a leveller for squad depth for chelsea and Liverpool

maybe....it is a bit scary though if they can get Ya Ya Toure back to his best....then they can really rotate their midfield.

ya ya is no hendo fella

Every game can be hard and easy.

Sunderland 3 weeks ago looked a doddle.

Now they have two good wins on the bounce, a bit of confidence in the team.

Sure at home you would expect a relatively comfortable win, but it wouldn't be a stunner if they got something now they looked to have turned a corner.

Bournemouth should suit us really, looks like goals in that game. Ibe who has been rubbish will probably skin 3 players and smash it in the top corner though.

That's football innit.

We look good and will be in the mix come March/April. There will be some surprise results between now and then though.

A performance out of the ordinary, and with a number of key players missing. Will be closer than you expect, I think

Daniel Sturridge wont last five minutes up against the Swedish Beast.
