Tough game, Chelsea are also in great form...hard to call this one.
Mannone, Jenks, Kos, Verm, Gibbs, Diaby, Arteta, Cazorla, Ramsey, Podolski, Gerv
Walcott![]()
No Mert? That's brave.
Same team I'd have picked but Oxlade over Gerv.
Yeah I'd prefer Oxlade over Gervinho as well.
no surprises in midfield. need ramsey to help the full back out as much as possible.
gervinho's been on fire at home. theo's a great sub to bring on if we're losing. although im not sure what this does to giroud's confidence- last thing we need to do is treat him like chelsea treated torres everytime he scored. he needs a run of games to build on and the midweek goal was the perfect opportunity.
shocked he changed the defence. mertesacker's experience is key and long legs helpful. clearly trying to offset hazard, oscar and mata's pace by playing kos. would have preferred to test the verm-kos partnership this season at upton park but it is what it is.

Most of the benchers will probably start against Olympiakos.
Soccer Saturday starts at 12 (we'll be talked about early on), Sky's programme for the match starts at 12 on SS2.
