Unfortunately Chelsea away and Liverpool at Anfield are probably the only fixtures of the season that I just never see us winning. If we weren't so far behind I'd be shitting myself before tonight but as much as I'd fucking love to spoil/delay the Leicester party I'm gonna be more relaxed watching the game tonight.

I would just love us to crank up the pressure for Leicester's game with Everton, will be a shame if we don't make them work more for it at this point.

Huge game for very obvious reasons. This will be a massive test for the boys character and belief, it's about time that we won here. We've had a brilliant season but it won't mean much if we can't start to overcome hurdles such as this one. West Brom desperately wanted to stop us from winning and it will be the same tonight, we have to start getting past these teams otherwise it'll be a worry going forward. If we can exercise this demon tonight then I will go into next season believing that we can beat any team, even teams that are just preventing us from getting the 3 points. It'll give the players the belief that they can win the league in seasons to come.

Hope we go with the confidance that we are a better team than them. The last near 20 years they have been the better team. Worries Alli missing will hurt us as he makes us tick. Who will replace him?

Mason perhaps? To be more compact in midfield?
Son out left or right? Pushing lamela or eriksen into the centre?
Or Son in the centre himself?
Tricky one for poch

If we win this, we're only 6 points behind, and with Leicester missing Drinkwater and (if there's any justice in the world) Huth against Everton, then...they'll probably only win 4-3 instead of 4-0 against those spineless good for nothing scousers.

If we want to be champions in the near future, we have to start winning games in their back yard.

Slight issue is John Terry is back.. apart from the home game last season he is usually immense against us...come on Harry destroy him!

5points buddy. And Everton won't get anything, leaks everywhere in their defence.

In a game we have to win, and have to score a couple, I'd go son. I wonder if you could put son on the right and Lamela in the 10 role? They switch positions anyway

That would be my preference. Although I'd worry son doesn't work as hard defensively on that side (not saying he doesn't work, more that lamela has been so strong at it)

He has been sent off against us twice, let's hope it's a 3rd time

I can't even remember who it was, but Danny Kelly was talking to someone on TS last night, and they said they'd be surprised if it ended with 22 men on the pitch. I can only assume he's suggesting Chelsea will get someone sent off as we haven't had a red card all season! (Despite the fact that Alli should have...)

Well when you've got Diego Costa on the pitch there's always a likelihood that someone will see red

I want to win this game for the sake of the game itself. Never mind the title - I think Leicester will get over the line anyway. Just beat this lot to prove we're better than them and continue to believe in ourselves for the challenges of the next few seasons. If Leicester cock up then we're there but let's beat Chelscum for the pure pleasure of it.
