Have to say that team selection makes sense for the size and quality of the squad!

A mistake dropping Bruno. It was at Wembley.

I like the balance of the midfield with Kayal and Pröpper either side of Stephens playing a bit deeper. I really think Goldson can be gutted to be out of the team, but two games in three days having not played for almost a year is a lot to expect. I think this is good management from Hughton, it must have been a tough decision to make but it's probably better for Duffy to step in for this game and have Goldson ready when needed.
I can see us being really stubborn and nicking a 1-1 draw here today, if not a cheeky win. Hemed needs to show a bit of attacking instinct today though, if Suttner's whipping in the crosses and nobody is trying to get on the end of them for the second game in a row, I'll be very unhappy!

Disagree. Not going to be able to play two games in three days any more. Save him for the Geordies. This game will be just like the Tottenham one....minimal possession, hope Maty Ryan didn't eat too much yesterday.

You can see why CH may choose the extra midfielder in Kayal against Chelsea (and may have done it previously against top 6 if Kayal were fit), and that leads to the choice of Hemed over Murray as he is far more mobile if we are only playing 1 up.
Possible Izquierdo over Knocky for pure speed to get up and support Hemed.
Even Schelotto over Bruno makes sense seeing how many games we have in a short space for the fittest of 37 year olds. (And same for CG after being out for nearly a year).

Which begs the question... Baldock?

I would think a choice of Gross or Baldock for the 3rd midfielder if we're one down at 60-70 mins depending whether he wants a second attacker to play behind/in front of Hemed/Murray
Mentioned it a couple of time the last few days, glad to see Solly on the right and Knockaert rested/dropped. Hopefully we have enough of the game to see Propper further forward today. We tried it at Spurs but couldn't get enough of the ball to see him up there.
Stop Hazard and maybe grab a point

Hmmm, Schelotto started in our two poorest performances of the season.
Sadly i don't rate him one bit

Really fancied nicking at least a point.
UNTIL I saw the starting lineup.
Now 3-0 to Chealsea.
