According to reports Fabregas will be out for the next 2 games as well, so that would be no Costa or Fabregas for Villa and Everton.
Who do you guys think should play next to Matic in midfield if it's true? I'm guessing Mourinho would go with Ramires in midfield. However, Villa might play extra defensive since they just got destroyed by Arsenal, so I think Ramires' lack of passing and finesse might cost us against them. Personally I'd like to see Ake in there. He's defensively very solid and he's pretty good on the ball. He'd be my pick for the weekend, but we all know Mourinho won't start him or RLC for that matter.
Who'd be your pick, guys and gals?
I don't think we'll see either Ake or RLC start. if everyone else is fit, I'd play Matic, Oscar & Willian as a three with Cuadrado and Hazard out wide and Remy up top.
4141 for me, with 2 attacking mids of oscar and Willian and hazard and Qaud on the wings.
If we don't change the system Ake should start.

I do like a midfield 3 of Oscar willian and matic. I don't see them throwing too much numbers forward.
Your points are all valid, but do you realise who our manager is? :-P
Guess we'll see. But I reckon we'll see Ramires in there.

The midfield will be Matic and Rami with Oscar, Hazard and Willian in front and behind Remy. Cuadrado will start on the bench.
The only reason I left Ramires out of my team was that Aston Villa seem to bring out his worst side in terms of rash tackles!
Hahah they definitely did last year, Steve! I think Cuadrado will start on the bench as well, Jkb. We'll find out soon enough but I hope he has a decent debut.
He got sent off against them the year before as well. they're like his kryptonite!
Haha someone better notify Mourinho!

I don't know if anyone else is feeling this way but I really do have a feeling that cuadrado will start on Saturday. Really looking forward to see how he performs once fabregas and Costa are back. Also hoping that RLC is on the bench and will maybe get at least a 20 minute run out.

You're right Jackson. It was wishful thinking on my part. That said unless willian or hazard are injured.
