agree. we need to rebound and pick up all 3 points.

hope its:

Hart
Zaba Demich Mangala Clichy
Lampard Yaya
Navas Silva Nasri
Milner

id like to see Fern rested (and Lampard come in) in prep for his big month without Yaya; we're going to need to rely on him a lot.

Hart
Zaba MDM boyata clichy
Fern 1 Yaya
Navas silva nasri
Jovetic

I think I would start Frank in the Cup game to get him up to speed, not today.

No he is not injured. I just thought he struggled in the physical battle against burnley and I expect fletcher and wickham will target him for the same today. Boyata played ok at sunderland in our recent win there.

Ahh, I get you. Still prefer Mangala.

Petrified that Willy will be as useless as he was vs Newcastle, in which case we won't stand a chance. Happy Kolarov isn't starting. Slightly disappointed Milner isn't starting.

Only just noticed that. Is Joe getting a rest or has he been dropped?

Don't understand the testing of Hart. Keepers can easily play numerous games in succession. Wrong decision for me.

At least he's on the bench, unlike Yaya.

Same here. Unless Joe has a slight knock or something

Hart had been on a good run of form but has made let 2 very sloppy goals in in the last 2 games. Still surprised to see him dropped/rested for today. Willy will have to perform better than he did v Newcastle that's for sure. Be very interesting to see how his distribution compares to hart
