Four changes for the Blues
Watford need to do Leeds a favor tonight beating Everton
I'd love to see Frank fall flat on his face after the two wins!
Celtic are going to win the Scottish Premiership tonight
They already have....there has to be a 20 goal flip to have them lose it but a point makes in done!
Hiya, Dave - thanks for joining me to white knuckle another one of these. Watching my boys isn't much fun right now, but I'm always willing to go down with the ship.
Yes, Burnley don't play until Sunday, so this is a chance for us to gain some advantage. If Everton were to lose to Watford, who have just poached Forest Green's manager, and we got something out of Chelsea, we would be out of the dropzone.
It’s a big night for Lewis Bate. The 19-year-old spent 10 years at Chelsea, in the academy, but never featured for the first team.
I am done tutoring for the day but I might have to leave before the final whistle
I have 5Live on as well...they are going to have the Wolves/City match
I've got the Cock on my laptop right now
I'm expecting four across the back with Llorente replacing the suspended Ayling and Struijk replacing Junior Firpo. Bate will understudy Kal Phillips, Harrison and James will provide the width and Rodrigo will go alone up front.
Wahay - the boy are ready! MOT!
Eddie G singing MOT nice and loud with the crowd.
Here comes the teams
Lots of hugs in the tunnel between the two sides. We'll need some grit an no love.
Good old Eddie - he's a legend!
Looks like a full strength Chelsea side. Grrr!
Shame that Chelsea aren't set in stone for the Top Three and concentrating on the Cup Final
Of course, managers don't care about the Cup Final anymore
SO SAD
OFF WE GO
MOT
Bloody RUGBY lines on the pitch after the THREE games on Saturday!
Some tasty challenges right from the off.
Yeah, I noticed that. Don't like it.
Bugger.....sorry mate
Bugger! Mount scores within four minutes. That's exactly the start we didn't need.
Nearly 2-0 down. They're cutting through us really easily.
Oh - Raph nearly played Rodrigo in there.
Another decent through Raph.
The crowd's already getting restless.
We look really panicky again tonight.
Jack hobbling a bit now after that last clash with Reese James.
Starting to build a bit now. Come on!
Kovacic upends James and now we've got a free kick. We have to take these when we get them.
And now a corner. Come on!
Half chance there for Llorente. Just wide.
Still 0-0 between Watford and Everton. We need a win from the Hornets.
What! Dan James has been sent off!
Bloody Hell!!!!
James is off!!
I cannot believe it! Speechless.
He won the ball!
Down to ten men again. Ridiculous.
JM just shaking his head on the bench. I completely feel the same way. I didn't have any problem with the Luke Ayling red card on Sunday, but that one was ludicrous.
Kovacic is limping off now. Leeds fans giving him plenty.
Ball in the net...flag is up....Lukaku is off
Phew! Lukaku bursts through and lifts one over Meslier, but it's ruled offside.
Oh - The Chunk with another header just wide.
Now it looks bad for Harrison. He's coming off and Firpo will replace him.
I'm back after a chat with the next door neighbor who brought by some treats.
Leeds get the second half started. Come on!
Sorry...I have been busy doing errands
Leeds still in it
No worries - I was chatting with the neighbor toward the end of that half.
If we can just keep it tight for the next fifteen, then JM might be able to risk putting Joffy on.
Oh - Raph nearly onto a loose ball there. We just need a cheap opportunity like that.
Bugger...sorry mate
Bugger! Pulisic makes it 0-2. Nice finish.
I think it is just getting a point against Brighton or Brentford could be enough
Everton still drawing at Watford. That would move them onto 36 points.
The match against Brighton is a must win. A draw on the last day is a reach.
Yank should have had his second....doesn't hit the target
Oh - Rodrigo gifted the ball and Pulisic should made it 0-3.
KDB already has a hat-trick inside 24 minutes
City leading 3-1 coming up to half time
Klich on for Bate. Shame that David missed that "Klich-Bate" pun.
Brighton have been on form as of late!
Not a shame at all!
Wish I missed it
Celtic one up at Dundee United... about to be Champs
Stockport 0 Torquay 0
They would take a point lead in the table with one game to go
Either them on Wrexham to go straight up
Commentators are so stupid these days. They were full of admiration for Marsch when we were beating the likes of Norwich and Watford, but they never looked ahead to see these matches against City, Arsenal and Chelsea in the run-in.
Half an hour left for some kind of miracle. I can't really see it coming.
Nasty from Chalabah, but of course he doesn't get a card.
City predictably 1-3 up at Wolves.
Leicester now 1-0 up on Norwich.
Yup....hate all the pundits and commentators
I miss John Motson and Barry Davis
Dundee U equalize vs the Hoops
They need to hold on to become champs
Oh - good ball over by Firpo. Unfortunately it was Raph on the end of it. Not his specialty.
Can't believe Everton beat United and Chelsea!!
I do, too - Motty and Baz were the best.
Yeah - those two wins might just relegate us.
65,000 at OT for the Youth Cup Final at OT tonight
Man U vs Nottm Forest
Free kick chance now...comes to nothing.
Sam Greenwood being prepared to come on - I would have preferred Joffy.
United 1 Forest 1
United just has scored a penalty to take the lead with 13 minutes to go
And now Raph is holding his hammy - from bad to worse.
And Liam Cooper has a nosebleed - it's like Casualty out there!
JM is changing his mind - it's Joffy to come on now. Will he risk continuing with Raph?
Not sure what Raph is playing at - he's hiked up but he wants to come on. Now JM is pressing the point. Joffy on for him.
Coop has some bog roll up the schnoz.
Still 0-0 at Vicarage Road - come on, you Hornets!
Leicester 2 up vs Norwich...why couldn't they have done the same vs Everton
Looks like Everton will be safe
67,492 at OT for the Youth Cup Final
Old record was 37000
Make that 3-0 Foxes
Lukaku seals our fate today. 0-3. Grrr!
Oh - nice ball in from Joffy but it was Koch on the end of it.
I missed the third goal!
Sorry
Stockport take the lead and go top by 3 points with one game to play
"We All Love Leeds" goes up around the ground. Marvelous!
I have to leave
Keep the faith!
TTFN
Mount is just wide.
Thanks, mate - you know I will. A win against Brighton and a draw against Brentford and we'll be safe.
