Live on BT1 5.30 start

Remember being robbed by a 93rd minute John Terry equaliser back in 2016.

Was he miles offside? Either way, remember the fume drawing 3-3.

Absolutely miles

They haven't conceded at home under Tuchel yet. However, they're hardly prolific either. I think if we can defend solidly and take the 1-2 chances that we carve out we can win this one. They've been doing well but haven't exactly been blowing teams away, you'd have expected them to get results in all of their recent games except maybe Atletico Madrid.

think this might come down to Chelsea having a much larger squad and benefitting for being able to rotate their players

My last parent conference finishes at 18:10 so I will be cycling home quickly to catch the second half. So annoying.

I’d be annoyed if missed our opening 8 goals too. At least you’ll be there to see the other 10

They're on four consecutive clean sheets and we're on three.

Current form suggests a scoreless draw. That wouldn't be too shabby.

I have just done the dreaded look at the fixtures as well. We have a great shot if we take anything from tonight. I still have that "we will everton this up" feeling but now is actually mixed in with a bit of anticipation.

To go against what I have just done, we have to take each game as it comes and take the opportunities that present themselves

We just need to be there and thereabouts in the last 5 games because foxes and chelsea have atrocious end to the season

Same side which played Liverpool for me, Gylfi for JRod if he’s not fit
Allan for Doucoure if he’s not fit, if he is Allan in for Gomes.

So....its not the same side that played Liverpool.

I'd like to see how they react to going a goal down. Hasn't happened under Tuchel yet.

That'd be interesting, yes.

Richarlison curls one into the upper corner of the net and tears off his shirt to reveal a portrait of Steven Naismith painted on his chest.

Same lineup as Soton would be my guess:

Pickers
Holgate-Keane-Godfrey-Digne
Doucoure-Allan-Gomes
Siggy
DCL-RIchy

Maybe Davies for Doucoure or Gomes depending on injuries. James for Siggy if he is available.

3-0 to Chelsea probably. I long to eat my words.

Draw please Bob

 

[Lob]

I would defo take a draw in this and it would keep us just 1 point behind them in 4th with a game in hand. Going to be tough this though. In good form Chelsea and we will need to be as well to even get a draw.

COYB's

Mass head explosions and poo stains everywhere in next 20 minutes....

& no this isn’t a Michael Barrymore house party.
