Am I losing my mind or does the PL pretty much never have two games at 1230?

 

[charlenefan]

Chelsea playing with a back 5 and 3 DM's

City on the other hand playing with 4 number 10's and a striker

Bet Chelsea win though

The Man United game got moved because of a gig in Manchester later on today.

Bloody hell. Which artist is causing a PL match to be rearranged?!

 

[duffer]

Chelsea's winning run against Man City can't last and we all know Lukaku will shit himself in the first minute then take a nap for the next 89, that's what he does in the big games, right?

The Courteneers.

 

[Dr. StrangeHate]

At one point in time Pep was all about midfielders, now he is playing just one against the team that has his number.

 

[Greyfog]

Two cracking games on! Shaping up to be a fantastic Saturday. F1, Ryder cup, #AJUsyk. Just lovely.

Hat-trick for Lukaku today

 

[Pep's Suit]

I think Chelsea will win 2-0 or 2-1.

 

[charlenefan]

City really can't afford to lose today, 6 points behind Chelsea even at this early stage would be an uncomfortable gap for them

 

[Jonno]

City really can't afford to lose today, 6 points behind Chelsea even at this early stage would be an uncomfortable gap for them

They dropped to about 10th last season didn’t they? Then they won the league at a canter. Huge for Chelsea if they do win today, it will give them huge belief

 

[MC89]

Hat-trick for Lukaku today

Hopefully, one will do though got him anytime 17/10

 

[charlenefan]

Does Joe Cole have to hyperbole everything? So far this morning we've had 'Chelsea are the best off of the ball in world football' and now 'Grealish is the best player coming from the left in world football'

 

[charlenefan]

Feel the PL needs a City win today, no one other than Chelsea fans want to see them run away with it

 

[Inigo Montoya]

He can’t do anything else as he has to justify his salary. Poundshop Gary Neville

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Feel the PL needs a City win today, no one other than Chelsea fans want to see them run away with it

Wouldn’t a draw be better?

 

[charlenefan]

Wouldn’t a draw be better?

Ignoring local rivalries no, the league needs a Chelsea defeat and to make the title race interesting needs a City win

As a United fan I obviously want both teams to lose

 

[Alive and Kicking]

The Man United game got moved because of a gig in Manchester later on today.

Probably genuinely down to organisers being a bit rusty with the specifics of scheduling and organisation after 18 months of idle hands.

 

[The United Irishman]

A draw in battle of the plastics and, the Scousers defeated later please.

 

[MayosNoun]

Joe Cole rates Grealish higher than:

Neymar
Mane
Son
Sterling
Rashford
Hazard

He may have a point with some and opinions are opinions but good grief.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Think Citeh will win this one.

 

[MayosNoun]

I’d imagine a draw here would be the best result for title challenge hopefuls.

A draw wouldn’t be a disaster for us however it highlights our progression under Tuchel when I’m hoping for 3 points.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Think Citeh will win this one.

Funnily enough I can see them being bullied off the park

 

[Catt]

Chelsea to win

 

[Inigo Montoya]

Bruno gets into a good position but shot over on his left foot

 

[MayosNoun]

Michael Oliver is a clown. Can’t stand the guy.

 

[Acrobat7]

Fantastic pressing by City. However, no end product

 

[MayosNoun]

We can’t beat this press. If we go in at half time level, hopefully City will tire.

 

[Acrobat7]

We can’t beat this press. If we go in at half time level, hopefully City will tire.

It’s your midfield that will tire.

 

[Nick7]

I'm keeping an eye on the Chelsea/City match. Chelsea seem to be struggling early again and high pressing. Wonder if this will be similar to the Spurs match or will City have too much quality to let Chelsea impose themselves on the game.

 

[GifLord]

Lukaku having a first touch class

 

[Hugh Jass]

City Chelsea game so boring i had to turn it off. City just spending 50 passes between the CBs.

 

[GifLord]

Jesus should have scored

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Amazing how commentators are not going to be able to jerk themselves silly over Lukaku when he puts in another nothing performance against a top four team.

 

[KirkDuyt]

What are Werner's qualities aside from being fast?

 

[Guy Incognito]

Pressing without end product. Story of City's season, if they don't score early they'll fade.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Amazing how commentators are not going to be able to jerk themselves silly over Lukaku when he puts in another nothing performance against a top four team.

I've been a willing fluffer I'll admit.

 

[MayosNoun]

This is a similar performance we had against Spurs in the first half.

 

[P-Ro]

Says a lot about the game that there's less than 20 posts about it in the first half. We've been terrible at beating the press and City can't find a way through our defense.
