Full possible strength all the way until the end, Palace away will not be easy, they will be looking to bounce back after a bending at Pool today

Big Wan has to be in our starting line up imo and I believe 3-4-2-1 is our best formation.

IF Davies is fit I would go with -


---------------------------------Lloris

------------Dier-----------Alderwireld------Vertonghen


Walker------------Wanyama--------Dembele--------Davies


-----------------------Eriksen------------Dele



-----------------------------------Kane


Chelsea were 10 points ahead of us and were winning and we didn't let our heads drop. I think the mentality is better this year throughout the team and regarding whatever happens on Tuesday we will beat a Palace side that are 5th from bottom because they are a poor side.

Chelsea will beat Southampton all day long. They are already on the beach slapping on the sunscreen. We will be fighting to keep the gap at 4, much like last season really. Eventually it ground us down

I agree, id be shocked if Chelsea don't beat Southampton. The only game I could see Chelsea not taking three points is at the weekend away at a good Everton side.

I do however think we will also finish the season strongly. Yes we lost another big game yesterday that wasn't down to mentality it was down to individual mistakes and lack of depth on the bench.

Anyone think we should play Son at left back?

Waynama was poor yesterday and isn't half as good as Dier on the ball.

Poch must have been too concerned with Moses after what happened at SB, hence playing Son there. Wonder if Zaha will make him make another silly change there.

If Davies not fit, bring Wimmer or Carter vickers in and move Vertonghen to left back/wing back. Need proper defender there, especially as most of their threat is from their wingers.

CCV is injured I think.

Personally if Davies & Rose can't play then flat back 4 with Verts LB with Toby & Dier CB with Waynama in midfield.

Cannot wait to have Rose back

Hopefully he will have learnt his lesson after yesterday.
Palace are at the bottom end because they are cack so if we cant beat them we wont deserve second place

Palace aren't cack at all. Just best both Chelsea and Arsenal comfortably.

We was lucky to beat them in the home game.

Beat both*

No rotation.

If Davies is fit:

Lloris
Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen
Walker, Wanyama, Dembele, Davies
Eriksen, Alli
Kane

If not then:

Lloris
Walker, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen
Wanyama, Dembele
Eriksen, Alli, Son
Kane


How long has Rose been in full training for? Will be well short of match fitness, can't risk him until we've hopefully got 2nd sewn up.

Rose started out door training last week. Whether with the team or on his own I'm not sure

Eh?

Think that was a reply to me

Dembele-wanyama in 4-2-3-1 hasn't been great. Think you need dier-dembele in that formation, and that means Wanyama or Wimmer CB (if CCV out). Davies can't be far off if he was on bench...

Got ya Hengy

Struggled to beat Palace at home this season?

Must have watched a different game to me, Yes we only won with a late Wanyama goal but we peppered their goal and missed loads of chances.Janssen missed a sitter if I recall.

Palace are a poor side especially in defence and midfield.

Palace didn't beat Chelsea comfortably either. Chelsea missed chance after chance. 11 shots on target to Palace's 3. Hennesy had a blinder and It was just one of those games when everything they tried didn't go in.

Palace did beat Arsenal comfortably but it was the most abject Arsenal performance in years.

They should have had a pen at 0-0. It was a pretty even game and we need a late goal to win.

Was a typical struggle as most early games was
