The Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Manchester United

The final fixture of Gameweek 9 sees us pay visit to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea entertain former manager Jose Mourinho and Man United at 4pm.

The home side have chalked up two straight wins and clean sheets since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation, defeating Hull and Leicester in consecutive Premier League fixtures.

Diego Costa is the Blues’ main threat, having scored or assisted in seven of the Blues’ first eight fixtures.

The Spain international sits just one booking short of a single-match suspension, though it’s worth noting that a caution today would see him sit out the midweek EFL Cup clash with West Ham and free him up to face Southampton in Gameweek 10.

Those who have held onto Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be hoping for signs of a return to form, bearing in mind the Reds then host Burnley next weekend.

The Swede – who is the second most-captained player for Gameweek 9 – has plummeted in price to 11.3 after scoring just one goal in his previous six league outings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        Is there any chance the Hazard goal will be changed into a DDG own goal?;)

      He's also the overall most started GK this GW, of course, and overall he's starting for even greater percentage of teams, but it's just much funnier how much this hurts at the very top! 😀

    What would you do with this lot? 1FT, 0.8ITB.

    Not overly keen on paid transfer (managed to avoid any so far), but looking at Collins/Walcott >> Coutinho/Lovren. Have exact cash for this, so would need to move on Coutinho tonight before rise, and possibly Lovren before Collins drops (though might get away with waiting a week on this as def is ok for this week...providing Collins doesn't drop... Big IF!)

    Thoughts much appreciated as always - Cheers.

      Find a route for redmond. Not knee jerk ..I've followed his stats as an owner. They are rediculous.

      I would ask such questions after a game rather than during. You will get more response
