Before
We don't expect much from our visits to Stamford Bridge apart from a pie, a good hiding and a sizeable dent in our finances, and statistically it's not looking too promising for us. Chelsea haven't conceded a goal in their last nine league games at home and they've also beaten us in our last eleven encounters. So, what have we got to lose? Bent and Mensah are definitely out but Turner played very well against Spurs and if Titus puts in his usual shift, we've got a chance of avoiding the embarrassment of our last two visits. Chelsea's front-line of Anelka, Malouda and Drogba doesn't bear thinking about really but thankfully they won't have Essien and probably Lampard. We've done well in our last two games and have had a bit of luck for a change and I think we can emerge from this afternoon's encounter without disgrace at any rate. It looks like we may start 4-4-2 and I've a feeling we can get a goal, which will be an achievement in itself, but I can't see us getting a point. Match prediction: 1-2.
