Surely Partey in the middle and Rice on either side?
(Not that the starting formation matters much)
Meanwhile Liverpool are rocking a Gravenberch- Mac Allister-Jones midfield.
Not a single attacking midfielder on sight. What’s the difference exactly?
Btw, that midfield got manhandled in the first half at the Emirates.
Rice is a bit more central. Partey tends to operate on the right side of central midfield with a bit of freedom to roam.
True, technically we’ve been playing with a double pivot for quite some time.
Even before Odegaard got injured but I feel we’ve truly embraced that structure the past year.
Liverpool have a competent attack is the difference. We will play the exact same way as we did in Newcastle and Milan and the terror-ball will lose again. Martinelli and Havertz stinking the place out and Saka being triple marked
We’re due a red card today, so I’d say it’s anyone’s game.
A red card for Chelsea yes.
We are not due another red card for 5 seasons.

Please start Nwaneri for fuck sake, I don’t want to see merino start again until Odegaard is fully fit.
Nwaneri - Partey - Rice would win us this game. I’m not risking Odegaard on these bastards after he’s been out almost 3 months, he can come on with 30 left.
We’ll play to avoid any kind of risk and go behind anyway.
Although we’re on a poor run, we haven’t deserved to lose some of the games but with Chelsea being at home and us under pressure I think Chelsea will win 2-1, with Havertz scoring for us.
Scuse me boss
