Kepa,
Aspi
Rudi
Luiz
Emerson
Kante
Jorginho
CHO
Giroud
Pedro
Hazard
Out go Willian, Kovacic and Alonso.
As we need two goals without them scoring, and knowing they are without their three main goalscorers, I go with a 3-5-2, and I am assuming, Higuain is signed in time;
Kepa
Aspi
Rudiger
Luiz
Hudson-Odoi
Barkley
Kante
Ampadu
Hazard
Giroud
Higuain
Now you're talking
I like the look of that, thing is I can’t see Sarri deviating from the 4-3-3.
No room for death by a thousand passes man, how very dare you!
My simple philosophy is ‘Get it out wide, then get it in the box, no tippy tippy, and no fcuking about at the back. Goal kicks are goal kicks.’
How are we going to lose it on the edge of the box that way though!
One difference...Sarri chooses Barkley rather than my shout of CHO...I was close but no cigar
I think we look well balanced and I'm ready for a great night. COME ON CHELSEA
