We've got some real important players missing but we've got a strong squad with real hunger.

This will be a hard game as Chelsea will be up for it, I can see it being a draw but am quietly confident of nicking it 0-1.

YNWA!

Anyone else think Chelsea will seriously up their game for this one?

They're there for the taking.

Something tells me Lallana will start over Firmino.

Your probably right bit for me Firmino is our number 10 who can get goals ie Coutinho with goals.
Despite Lallana running around a lot he doesn't do enough in a attacking sense for me.

It's a toss up between Lallana and Milner really.

So - another game against the Chavs and this time we look to be in a better position than them.

Part of me worries about the 'wounded animal' in Chelsea - the number of times sides have came off a bad run against a big team never surprises me. However with Chelsea it should have been against West ham, or Stoke, or Everton.

Lets not kid ourselves - they turned over Arsenal 2 - 0 and are still a very strong side with a lot to play for and Mourino will love it if they win.

It looks like Mourino will however be banned from the touchline (bonus as he always tries to influence the officials) and Costa is injured (I believe). Matic is also banned for this game so there will be a few headaches. I hope Jose looks to his second string as he stirs it up and that will of course help us.

They are shipping goals - which is what we need to go against with almost 2 a game this season.

Honestly, I would take any win - just to shut their 'fans' and manager up for a bit. Should be a great game!

Papers saying Costa just has bruised ribs so should be fine.
Matic served his 1 game ban on Tuesday.

just to shut their 'fans' and manager up for a bit.

Shut Jose up by us winning ?

F**k me if we win, he will be in the media saying how this decision went against them, that decision went against them even if there weren't any controversial decisions.

Anyway I'd love to beat them so I can watch Jose's meltdown continue.

100% the same..!

Bollocks - didn't think of that... Hope Costa is still out however, he will be a handful.

Never know, Jose might bench Hazard and Fabrigas to 'prove a point' - lets hope he does. On the radio people are saying that they cant handle pace or players running at them. Something Ibe has in bundles - hope he gets a game with Tex...

Their confidence is rock bottom. The F***ing special one is on the ropes on the verge of getting the sack. Out the league cup. Struggling in Europe lying third in their group. 15th in the league.  We can F***ing do these.

Our confidence should be high with Jürgen in the dressing room. Rubin and Southampton were poor results but look at it this way, we're undefeated under Klopp. So lets go to that sh*t hole with a bit of hunger and come away with 3 points.

Bogdan (has to start after last night)

Clyne
Skrtel
Sakho
Moreno

Lucas
Can

Milner
Coutinho
Lallana

Firmino

Like the idea there Hamann with Firmino up top, might work!

Tex for Milner and id go with your team

me too we need more creativity in the team you dont get that with Milner. when you look at Texiera last night basically coming in cold against premiership opposition it makes you think are there more that could do a job if called upon. Wish the back heel would have gone in but the way he was able to make the decision and create that chance was very impressive the kid has a BRAIN which is rare these days.

Bit surprised no one is finding space for Tex in their teams, I might not start him but I'd definitely have him on the bench,actually F**k it, I would start him and have Coutts on the bench.

I think if we can get an early goal then we have a good chance of winning but the chavs will be so up for this match, they must be really hurting at the moment.

Suspect Big Ben will be fit for this lads. Firmino will start defo, played too well last night not too.

Think we can down these bas**rds

Jose Mourinho: Chelsea manager to be in dugout for Liverpool match

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is expected to be in the dugout for Saturday's game with Liverpool - despite facing a misconduct charge.

The Blues boss faces disciplinary action after being sent off during last weekend's 2-1 defeat by West Ham.

But those matters are not expected to be dealt with before the 12:45 GMT kick-off at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho, 52, has also lodged an appeal with the Football Association against a separate suspended stadium ban.

Chelsea and West Ham were charged with failing to control their players and have until 18:00 GMT on Thursday to respond.

Mourinho was sent to the stands after going to speak to referee Jon Moss in his room at half-time and he watched the second half from the directors' box at Upton Park.

He also refused to take part in the post-match news conference.

The defeat was the champions fifth in the league this season and leaves them 15th in the table.

Mourinho received a suspended stadium ban earlier this month following comments he made about match officials after the 3-1 home defeat by Southampton on 3 October.

The latest charge is unlikely to trigger his ban but Mourinho could face a further suspension for his actions at Upton Park

So I guess, he can't get in any early Christmas shopping then.

I'm not sure if it was Carra or Redknapp but they said about how usually players would take an aimless swing at the ball in a panic but Tex decided to back heel it instead. There's no doubt in my mind that we will see more of him at some point this season. What is good though is that he's made a good impression on everybody: pundits, fans, neutrals and no doubt the manager.

Like the idea there Hamann with Firmino up top, might work!

Pretty sure Didi is a defensive midfielder

Pretty sure he is a pundit now?

Mignolet; Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno; Lucas, it doesn't matter; Lallana, Firmino, Ibe; Benteke.

Hope to see that. Picking a partner for Lucas is a pain, as ideally none of Allen, Milner, and Can would start. We badly miss Henderson.

We are going to win this match, I just know it. Then Jose will get sacked.

Chelsea to Lose 3 in a week? What are the chances?

If Benteke is fit I think we have a chance. If not, a draw is the best we can get in my opinion as Origi hasn't a chance of leading the line properly at Stamford Bridge.

Guessing Milner and Lallana will return aswell, which is worrying given both look confidence shot and distinctly average so far this season.

Hope Klopp can cause Mugrinho to be sacked... We need to be proflific as I doubt we will get too many chances but keep the faith.

COYR.
