- Diego Costa was ruled out by manager Jose Mourinho after the win at Crystal Palace at the weekend, but as we have already discovered this season, there remains the chance that the Spaniard could still play a part.
- Ramires remains absent through injury, joined on the sidelines by Jon Obi Mikel.
- André Schürrle missed out at the weekend due to illness and will continue to sit out here.
- Maribor have no injury concerns and no suspended players for the trip to Stamford Bridge.
- Luka Zahovic is in fine form and he may lead the line after scoring again at the weekend.
the old ui platform is better
@mark_wayne ui?
hazard has been hazardous .
Question.Matic v Busquets. Who's better?
@MiguelSuave For me it is very difficult to say. Busquests is a way better passer and has better positional sense while Matic covers way more ground and is a better tackler.Depends on the system being played in. For example, Matic is more physical and less technical so he may not do as well in Spain and busquets may not do well in England.
@MiguelSuave Matic works in most systems. he can cover alot of ground and destroy opponents. Busq is a very restriced player who i think is at his best when playing in a system similar to Pep's Barca, where he just needs to play it simple and not cover big areas.
@MiguelSuave Matic without doubt. busquets is not so good for me,its just good cause barca ball possesion !
@tarvos Yes. this is why i consider Matic better. Busquets has proven to be sucessfull in one system.
@MiguelSuave Matic is sooo beasty
@MiguelSuave Matic
@MiguelSuave Matic, no contest.
@Cornflake I wouldn't say No contest. but i do think Matic is better
Third goal was offside.
@Zokey Why downvotes? Its not a biased comment or anything. Look it up.
@Zokey because your comment is just more Chelsea hating and offers nothing discussion worthy. Who cares if it was offside, every team has benefited from an offside goal not called and since the other 5 goals were perfectly fine, the supposed offside goal means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
zouma and cech are going to start .
Chelsea win 2-1
1-1
any info about costa's return?
@Chris667 Mourinho said he won't play this game but "chance" he will be back for Man United game (meaning he will 100% start in Mourinho vocabulary)
it's going to rain goals for Chelsea. 4-0 or 5-1
3-0
