I think Lavia being out means we know what the line up will be, and how we will set up tactically. Which also means so does Thomas Frank. 

Without the ball:

Sanchez

Gusto

Colwill

Badiashile 

Cucurella

Madueke

Caicedo

Enzo

Sancho

Palmer

Jackson

With the ball, Cucu between Caicedo and pushing on to give us a 6th attacker like vs Spurs:

Sanchez

Gusto

Colwill

Badiashile 

Caciedo

Cucurella

Madueke

Palmer

Enzo

Sancho

Jackson

Without the options of Neto, Nkunku, Felix or Mudryk we lack options to freshen up our pressing players if they tire out late on.

On second thought it might be smart to start disasi instead of Gusto. The games we lost to brentford was because we couldn't match their height and physicality . I think a back 3 of disasi colwill and badiashale shd be physical enough with cucurella inverting

Wow did not know that, all our other attacking options injured at the same time,bar Neto? And Lavia out as well?

Bench will be really light then, no game changers.

Almost no other Premier League team has a bench the quality of Lavia Neto Felix Mudryk Nkunku so what will be a loss/ difference for us will only become an issue later in the game, unless we get the job done early. I keep saying it but this group of players has momentum, Sancho and Enzo are white hot at the moment and im not even mentioning the Cold one.

That said we cant win every game so maybe we are due a draw. 2-2.

 
At this point I think it is actually Liverpool starting to feel the pressure, not us. What's there to lose for us? Nothing at all. Our projected season to challenge for major stuff it surely is not this one. I personally do not understand why most of the people write City off already. I still think they are the only ones capable of going on a crazy winning run, as they always do. At some point they are going to get their sh*t together again. 

 
Let’s be honest, despite the history, we should be beating them.

We’re a completely different animal compared to previous years.

We lost 1-4 to Brentford under Tuchel during the sale of club. Really tumultuous time for club.

We lost 2 games to them under Frank and Pochettino, let’s be honest not exactly the best calibre of managers.

This time, we are 2nd in league and we are pretty good at defending set pieces with the new set piece coach.

3 - 1 to the Chels.

Exactly the kind of positivity that gets us the 0-0, 1-1 or 2-2

 
Match day - come on Chelsea!!! Let’s keep this impressive form going. 

If the injury issues are true then first time we won’t have a deep bench to turn to. Need to be at it from minute one. 

We’re due a draw soon enough - but not today!

Nobody is writing City off but they are 9 points and 12 goals behind so unless Liverpool drop off a good City run might not be enough. The speculation is about both these things happening and there isn’t much money getting behind that, especially with Rodri out for the season.

The loss of Lavia will hurt us this game, imo.

I doubt any of the players that went to Kazakhstan are in consideration to start this, so no Disasi nor Tosin. In theory our best two CBS in the air.

The threat of Mbeumo and Wissa is the biggest concern to me.

Jeez another one predicting that.

Hello my dear axman,

I'm just taking a safe option, how would if be if I predicted a 4-1 Chelsea massacre. Followed by more stuttering from Liverpool Arsenal and Citeh with us top of the table at Christmas.

Oh and I think nkunku lavia and or Felix might make the bench today

After the last few years, I'm actually starting to feel confident again that we are getting back to what we were. 

So we'll probably lose.
