Question.
Who is the better footballer between Wiliam or Hazard?

Currently William. He is playing like he did the year he was POY for them. Both have the ability to turn a game all by themselves. I personally like William's work rate more, but if you are asking who I would take in our team first, it would have to be Hazard.

Absolutely scary to think what threat we'd have with Eriksen and Kane, and either a Son or Alli, and having a rampaging Hazard stretching all kinds of space.

Willian's a great player, but nowhere near the value of Hazard.

Sorry mate but not a chance. We say this every season and every season we end up disappointed at Stamford bridge. Our record is horrendous there and would be typical of us to invite Chelsea back into the top 4. I know I sound negative, but trying to be realistic here. They always turn up against us and we always make vital mistakes when it matters at that s** hole. Draw at best, but I think we are going to lose personally :(

What has happened in the past has no relevance to this game. The reason why we've done badly there is because a) they're a very good team b) they've been better than us on the whole c) we've not prepared properly for this game. Providing we approach the game properly I honestly think we've got a great chance this time.

Kind of feel like these posts make the same points. Chelsea, to us, are very much like West Ham. They will always bring their A game. Their fans hate us more than any other club in the league. Their players seem to know that, the way they play. Sometimes Spurs players seem to understand, sometimes not.

Having said that at least we do have a better situation with Chelsea nowadays. Not so long ago they routinely beat us home and away. Unacceptable but what wete our mediocre squads gonna do about it? Now we have a team of players ready to fight.

They rarely bring their A game. 9 games out of 10, we play them off the park. They nearly always get lucky, undeserved against the run of play. Spurs nowadays, are likely to finish them off.

agree with this --- struggle to see how we lost to them at home and in the semi last year....also last year at their place, dominated the half and pedro has one moment....can't stand playing them

So many selections without Dier. Are you lot mad? He will be so up for this. He and Dembele in the middle are an absolute must!

Hate this lot with a passion and hate playing them. No matter how well we play or how much we batter them, they always find a way to fuck us up one way or the other. The 1st game of the season at Wembley was an absolute joke. Had about 90% of play and all the opportunities, then that murdering **** Alonso pops up with a sucker punch, gutting!! The usual predictable outplay chelsea for 45 mins, only for Hazard to score a beauty and we crumble. So inevitable and frustrating. We ain't getting nothing at Stamford bridge boys.

I think I agree, no matter how well we do, even if we are one or two goals up we always seem to bottle it, i suppose the weight of 25+ years is telling ... but we gotta break it sometime

I would love to fuck this lot up in their own backyard. But i’d much prefer to tear them another one at Wembley in the FA cup final.

Team V Chelsea, Lloris, Tripper, Rose, Alderwerield, Vertonghen, Dier, Dembele, Lamela, Eriksen, Moura and Son.

The reason, for Moura instead of Alli is to keep their full backs on the back foot.

Plus I think they all played so well against Swansea and would like to see them again.

The rest of the team I've chosen due to the international week. I wouldn't play Davies after he's been in China, the miles covered must have been excessive and taken a lot out of him.

Same with Aurier.
