I'd prefer to see Son than Mason. Dembele to play alongside Dier.

is it a big game these days?
routine win against a relegation candidate, we should look at resting players imo

Think it's likely that Cheatski will opt for a repeat of the LC final last year. Sit back, defend defend defend, try to nick a goal off a setpiece, hope that we tire ourselves out trying to break down the bus. That's what several hundred millions will buy you these days apparently.
Sure Poch will have the boys fired up for this though, hopefully we smash into them hard from the offset, get an early goal, that will force Cheatski to actually play football and we could see a real contest. As long as we approach this match right (don't underestimate Cheatski, that is a dangerous game, they have not played well at all this year but they still have the quality) and play our normal game, we should get a positive result. Draw will do but 3 points is obviously the one!!
Never like us being favourites, bit of a test for our mentality of handling all the hype... i much prefer it when we're flying under the radar. But can't do anything about that now. I'm I'm confident in this team, and Poch, and I bet the ground will be buzzing on Sunday.
Repeat of 5-3 please Spurs, COYS

If we win this one, with the traveling we've done hours before hand, then I think I will start to get dizzy and dream about silverware this season and bigger things. It would be a huge statement from us and say a huge amount about the attitude of the players.
I've gone 1-1 but hope I'm being pessimistic.

Roy's line up is spot on bar Son for Mason who will obviously play and rightly so.

Can I just make the point that this ridiculous 12 noon kick off clashes with the traditionally sacrosanct grassroots timeslot (generally 11-1), and therefore is damaging the future of the game

Nervous about this one... Only thing I keep telling myself is that Chelsea sure as fudge will not be looking forward to playing us either. Was said earlier this season how Arsenal was "the perfect opponent" for Mourinho and Chelsea when they were struggling. Well, I don't think we will be.
Team seems to pick itself at the moment. Lamela if fit back in for Alli. Mason to start if Lamela isn't ready to start.

Think Chelsea would take a draw right now if you asked them and my guess is they will come and park the bus, hoping to snatch the odd goal as we concede one goal quote regularly.
After last season and their current position in the league, and with the media, they simply can't take the chance of coming here and playing expansive football as they could get turned over again.
1-1 for me. I think we would be happy to take a point considering 3 matches in less than a week, again.

The last one is brilliant !!!
It will ALWAYS be 3 Point Lane but yes, this is a key game to turning that corner as we're not there yet.
01.01.15 5-3
28.09.13 1-1
20.10.12 2-4
22.12.11 1-1
12.12.10 1-1
17.04.10 2-1
21.03.09 1-0
19.03.08 4-4
05.11.06 2-1
So one win in the league at WHL since 2006, yep it's 100% three point lane for the rent boys

Agee with the team though I would have Son central if Terry is playing so that he can run at his creaking legs. Would love to win but given the travels this week and them having two days extra rest, I'd take a point and thereby extend our unbeaten run and maintain the lead over them
Jose Mourinho has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur and their head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, have got it easy as they combine a top-four challenge with bringing through a host of young players.
Mourinho, the Chelsea manager, has also said he has no sympathy with Spurs over their gruelling fixture list ahead of tomorrow's (Sunday's) lunchtime clash at White Hart Lane.
Tottenham are unbeaten in the league since the opening-day defeat by Manchester United and sit fifth, 10 points ahead of Chelsea.
While transforming Spurs into serious top-four challengers, Pochettino has also given chances to a number of youngsters, including Harry Kane, Dele Alli, who is suspended tomorrow, Eric Dier, Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb.
Conversely, Mourinho still struggles to find space in his side for teenager Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who has made only four appearances this season.
Mourinho is impressed by the work Pochettino, with whom he enjoys a close relationship, has done at Spurs but believes the Argentine is helped by the fact he is working under less pressure than the club's top-four rivals.
"The team is really good, they keep the players they want to keep and I think they bring the right players in," said Mourinho. "No pressure on them, like it is in the other four or five top teams to reach important positions. So they have great conditions to do the magnificent work they are doing.
"Nobody speaks about them as title contenders like they speak about [Manchester] City, [Manchester] United, this and that. They lose a couple of matches and nothing happens. They are in the Europa League, in the group phase, and no one cares about that at this stage. They go smoothly step by step, build a team, new players and give conditions for the young players to develop.
"They have good conditions to do a very good work. When the club is powerful to decide they don't sell and to decide they can invest and bring in this or that, they have good conditions and no pressure to do magnificent work. They need a great manager, which they have. And good players, which they have, and the conditions too."
Tottenham arrived back in England from a gruelling Europa League trip to Azerbaijan to face Qarabag at 4.30am yesterday morning, ahead of tomorrow lunchtime's kick-off against Chelsea.
Pochettino branded the schedule a "joke", but Mourinho offers no sympathy to Spurs over their fixture list. Mourinho was furious two seasons ago, when Chelsea had to play both legs of their Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid and travel to Liverpool in the space of nine days. Despite that, Chelsea won 2-0 at Anfield.
"We played a Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid in one week, we played Tuesday and Wednesday," said Mourinho, who will assess captain John Terry's ankle injury today after the defender missed training yesterday.
"In the middle of these two matches we had to play against Liverpool and our country decided it was not a problem for us to play Saturday or Sunday.
"If that wasn't a problem for Chelsea, why is it a problem now for Tottenham? We either have a solution for everyone or no one."
Mourinho had a bust-up with Diego Costa during the Champions League victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv and, while he insists the pair have made up, believes the striker must start reading situations better to return to his best scoring form.
Costa has scored only four goals this season. "He's not reading the game properly," Mourinho said. "You have to play not when you have the ball, but when others have the ball. You have to anticipate things and read the game faster."

Not surprised counting is beyond the average Chelsea fan's cognitive capability.
It's also strange since most of them have no memory of anything that happened before 2003.
