Is Kante available ? Would be very convenient if he is so we can play a midfield 3 of Kante, Jorgi and Kova.

I suggested this a week ago Superb, its tempting, but obviously we lose some attacking threat and lets be honest City can be got at...

I thought about:

Azpi Zouma Tomori

Reece Kante Jorgi Kovacic Emmerson

Tammy Pulisic

But i think its the sort of team we end up lossing 1 or 2 nil.

I think we shd just feckin go for it tbh

Some fans were hysterical last season when we lost to City 6-0. TBH..I was quite calm about it, we had some very good moments in that game and City just had one of those days.

In comparison to the season before that when we lost 1-0, i was actually ashamed to be associated with Chelsea that day, it was an utter embarrassment and it destroyed all my faith in Conte.

Wasn't much between the two for me Biggish. Both terrible days/ results.

apparently pulisic is 50/50. Think mount will play for his energy

I'm feeling:

Kepa
Reece Zouma Tomori Emerson
Kante Jorgi Kova
Willian Tammy Mount

Assuming they're all available and if Pulisic isn't.

We could potentially smother their midfield with our sexy midfield trio...kante

Whilst I obviously want us to win...I've put a close 2-1 defeat on CPL...it'll be the Aguero show

So, what is the latest on Rudi, seems like I've been saying this forever !

Pulisic slid/slammed into the post with his goal. Looked painful. Probably bruised up good.

I don't have too much fear regarding City. That said I also don't expect us to win. It's be nice if it was an open game because that's probably our only chance.

Absolutely Biggish - no result in all the time I've followed Chelsea has cut me as deep as that.

It might have only been 1 - nil but I'd never felt as humiliated by such an abject surrender in my life - for me it was the turning point in my opinion over Conte!

I've just done my combined City/Chelsea team for a bit of fun on the BBC website.

I thought I'd have had it predominantly City based but was suprised how hard I found it to make a case for that many City players over our own!

I’d go
Kepa
Azpi rudiger laporte Emerson
Kante Jorginho
Silva silva sterling
Aguero

Probably missing some...and as I write this kdb is screaming out

Without looking at your team Brum, the Citu players I would have are Ederson, KDB, Sterling, B.Silva ......and of course Otamendi

I would have Walker too over Azpi at RB.

I went

Ederson GK

James RB

Rudiger

Laporte

Dave LB (The're few decent options in either squad for this position and I feel James walks into either team on the right)

KDB
Kante
D'Silva

Sterling
Aguero
CHO

Ederson
Azpi - Rudiger - Laporte
Willian - Kante - Silva - Pulisic
Bernado - Aguero - Sterling

Don't feel Walker deserves to be in there, especially on recent form. De Bruyne has struggled for form since his his injury troubles. Too early to put some of the younger guys in; not that I doubt their potential.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't get how you leave a world class player like KDB tbh. Kante has struggled due to injuries too,in fact he has hardly played,but each to their own.
