Chelsea v Arsenal Sunday November 30th 430 PM KO

My only worry is the fatigue.

Mirth

Sicario2 yes - but in the world? PSG’s entire midfield is better just as a starting point

daredevil

I'm tentative to call Rice the best midfielder on the planet on the same matchday that Vitinha scores a hattrick.

Qwiss

Whether Rice and Caicedo are 1 and 2 in the world aside, if Odegaards fit the best 5 midfielders in the league are going to be playing this match.

PSG is not playing, so no.

Qwiss

RowJimmy PSG aren't in our league. So yes. 😉

Qwiss
My bad, you're right.
Although I don't think Fernandez is better than Wharton, Anderson, Szoboszlai or Guimaraes.

Pretty wild to see how much Chelsea has been rotating.

Assuming we'll face this line up - thoughts? It's certainly not that intimidating when you look at it, but they've been getting the results.

-------- Delap --------
-- Neto -- Pedro --- Estevaeo -
---- Fernandez -- Cacideo ----
Cucurella - Chalobah - Forfana - Gusto

MistaT Pretty wild to see how much Chelsea has been rotating.

They rotate the front 4 because none of them are really nailing down their place apart from Neto and the perpetually injured Palmer.

Qwiss

RowJimmy Although I don't think Fernandez is better than Wharton, Anderson, Szoboszlai or Guimaraes.

Wharton is not in the conversation. Anderson is in a purple patch. The other 2 are good but not in the same bracket.

Klaus

Qwiss I think Enzo is super underrated too. If Maresca understood how to get the best out of him he'd be worth 8-10 extra points in a season for Chelsea. Can easily see him leave for one of the Spanish giants in the future and become a cult player.

Mirth

Two best midfielders in the league = Rice and Zubimendi.

Qwiss

Mirth Yeah, although a fit Odegaard would have something to say about it.

Burnwinter I too think we’ll fuck ‘em up.

They’re one of the smallest teams in the league. Let’s set piece ‘em real good.

Their fans are ever so noisy on social media. Be great to silence them.

Win this and we’ll be in tremendous shape. City and Chelsea look to be our biggest rivals for the league and they are yet to play each other so dropped points are coming!

GooneriC

Neto and Estevao will be our biggest worries. Neto with his pace will be a problem

lorddulaarsenal

I’m not keen on Enzo. He’s naturally fat so isn’t able to handle the physical demands of the prem all that well

Enzo isn't athletic enough for this league, also he's never a 100m player in my opinion not today not even in 2023

He'll do better at Madrid or Juve though

Klaus

Hmm, it's true that he's a lil chonker. Argentinians often are for some reason. They like their candy.

lorddulaarsenal

Too many Fruity Mentos!

This will be an intriguing tactical matchup. For all of Bayern's reputation they're a team that rely a lot on individuals. This Chelski team work on a system and can be nuts on transition.

Very hard game this, they are also in the title fight, a draw would not be the end of the world.

Palmer is back for this one, but I don't think they will start him after such a long injury
