[Albion] Team for Chelsea (h)

[Miximate]

Thats good for Chelsea as they will have to play Hazard and Willian up front

I keep hearing about these 'Ghost Strikers' They certainly scare the cr*p out of me

I would rather it was one of those two a doubt and Morata played.

Pace.

I think that it should be

Ryan
Montoya...Balogun...Dunk...Bernardo
March...Stephens...Bissouma...Propper
Gross
Murray

But whether CH agrees is a different matter..

I would play Ryan in front of the goal, and not behind Montoya. Whilst I understand the desire to double up on the Chelsea wingers it leaves the goal wide open. Too risky against the quality Chelsea have.

Anyone know why Chelsea changed their kit for this game?

That was quite a line up for Chelsea then.

Chelsea struggled in their Europa game last night, so who knows what could be if we strike early.

I thought we changed to red shirts/white sleeves so that they could play in their famous all blue.

You would have thought so, but it states Chelsea playing in white shirts and Brighton in red, i know programmes weren't always accurate but normally would have their own teams colours right.

Chelsea didnt go all blue till 1964 so. This could be when they still had white shorts as part of their home kit and Albion had white shorts maybe thats why.

I think that line up is from the 1967 FA Cup 4th round replay.

Last season CH trialled three centre halves against Chelsea pushing on the full backs. Just saying.

...it didn't work very well...

... and Duffy is banned and Schelotto out of favour.....

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

I expect Bruno and White on the bench and Bong not to be selected. Stephens will play at the expense of Bissouma for this game. Murray will definitely start with Gross behind as we need to be streetwise and particularly clinical against this lot. Murray routinely scores at home. Izzy on left and March on right.

 

[Dolph Ins]

Interesting. Will CH go with the tried and tested (who have not let him down) or will he go for the new? Least likely IMHO is Andone for Murray. Medium chance Biss for Stephens or Propper. Most likely Montoya for Bruno. I just find it brilliant that for virtually every position there are now 2 excellent choices.
