Nuno has been less cautious the last few games and we have looked good for it but I wonder if that will be the case tomorrow. Chelsea can clearly be got at.

Bit of a surprise that he changed the defence last game given how solid we have been and how good Dendoncker had looked in a midfield role so I think we may revert back to the standard back line for this big game which in turn leaves us with more options bench wise.

Up front is anyone's guess, perhaps a front two though I would start with Podence, Jota and Jimenez

Chelsea are prone to leak goals, but I think Nuno will go with a 3-5-2 to start with. I think Traore is far more effective coming on for the last 60 minutes or so. When he starts, he seems to take a while to get going.

personally i would like to see more of donk and neto. but as my football brain is as an ant in comparison to the elephant that is nuno i'll leave it to the great man

Dendoncker in defence gives better distribution than Saiss and we really don’t want to give the ball away cheaply

Think Saiss distribution is generally very good to be fair though he hasn't seemed at his best of late.

And so it begins

As for the OP, ''so called big boys'', we're far bigger than Wolves Comparing Wolves to Leeds is like comparing a Babybell to block of Stilton

Sitting in this beautiful place, sun shining, surfing the net, listening to David Gilmour Live in Gdansk on Sky Arts, sipping a glass of chilled vino.
The only possible way life can get better is a Wolves win at Stamford Bridge tomorrow

Bit of a shock for those Brits that have joined you in the sun gem as following the spike in cases people returning to the uk from Spain will have to quarantine for 2 weeks from Monday

Alas not such a great weekend for me gem. One of my best buddies died suddenly Thursday evening at the age of 39, sat playing cards with his friends.

Serves them right. Anyone thinking it smart to get on a plane anywhere right now is not particularly sharp.

The ironic thing is that Britons returning from Spain are forced to quarantine due to a spike caused by Britons visiting Spain.
If we could tell all the tourists to feck off somewhere else we could reduce the virus to zero in Spain within weeks. The problem is that Spain's economy relies heavily on tourism. The economy in the Balearic Islands relies almost exclusively on tourism and is on its knees now.

To be fair to this Leeds supporter if the size of clubs is judged on honours achieved then Leeds are 13th in England. Quite impressive.

Wolves are 11th. That’s one big babybell

we have four more trophies i think. Leeds have only ever won a single FA cup which surprised me but have won in Euro competition.

Just took a look and they won that inter cities fairs cup mess so not a standard euro trophy even.

Condolences Cinci, that's no age to be departing this place. Been a sh!t year this for all round.

My lad just got back from Spain today with his mum just missing the new rules. I suppose he should really be isolating but he's at my place now so fingers crossed and hope for the best now I guess.

Interesting article in the Mail about VAR. There are a few changes to how it is used that are being proposed. Those ideas are coming via uefa and are driven by Arsene Wenger in his role with them working alongside Pierluigi Collina. They want to develop a process to be followed by all uefa countries consistently for next season. And they are looking at whether var is right to change more than clear and obvious errors, why narrow offsides are given when the technology doesn’t exist to prove exactly when the ball is played, the accidental handball rule, and they are looking for refs to make more use of pitchside monitors. We wait to see what comes out of that review for the new season.

The analysis they have done of how var has affected Premier League games has shown Wolves have been the biggest losers. Were it not for var Wolves would be going into today’s game in 3rd place

Wonder if halfy is going to get his arris in gear early today. I'll give him til midday before the preview thread once again becomes the matchday thread.
