Assuming a defeat tonight to Arsenal, both teams could hit 40 points and, based on other likely results, mutually secure safety with a draw.

2-0 Bournemouth.

In fairness, away to Bournemouth is a hard game. 

For us.

At approximately 4.50pm on Saturday I fear that Frank Lampard will become a 007 meme. What a sorry outcome to a legend. As for the majority of the team and the pathetic board it is now time that they felt the wrath of the  Stamford Bridge crowd. Some may say that it will not help but frankly I do not care about their bruised egos. In fifty odd years I don't think I have ever seen a more pathetic run of performances by a group of so called professional footballers. They have no shame.

Play someone who actually wants to play for Chelsea and enjoy playing football.

Let the rest leave, and thank you for your service.

I think we’ll do ok and come away with just a 1-0 or 2-0 defeat.

Lampard will start with Sterling 

[bertles86]

Genuinely think we need 10 or 11 behind the ball for this one. I'd start ultra defensive.

 

                             Kepa

Fofana - KK - Silva - Badiashile - Azpi

Frustrated every month. 

"One! One goal!"

 

[Bert19]

I'd go: 

Mendy 

Trev  Fofana  Badiashile  Chilwell 

Gallagher  Kante  Enzo 

Madueke  Havertz  Mudryk 

 

We've seen more than enough of Kovacic & Sterling of late, don't need to see Azpi or Aubameyang and i'm totally done with the Subbuteo Goalkeeper.

With a touch of the grave about him you'd think centre halves would shy away from him but no they get all Van Helsing on him.

I finish work at 15:00 and should be back home by about 15:20. I fully expect us to be 2 nil down by the time I switch on.

You're just being sarcastic now. I'd drive Sterling to Beachy Head myself, no thanks required.

Just drop him off somewhere in Poole (I've been there, and B'mouth and visited Dean Court back in 1977)

Pretty much exactly what I’d pick with the exception of maybe Chukwuemeka instead of Gallagher or even Kante.   He’s looked really good in cameos but seems to have been banished under Lampard. 

If I had my way, we wouldn’t see Sterling, Cucerella, KK, Kovacic, Auba, Pulisic or Ziyech again this season.  Azpi and Silva to play in our final home game as they are both legends and deserve a decent send off (whether they stick around next season or not I have no idea)
