Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep

The last fixture before Christmas and Stamford Bridge looks like it is going to be a sell out. A crowd in excess of 40,000. Not bad for the last Saturday shopping day before the Festive day hits us. Take heart oh feathered friends, one of our recent matches against your feathered relations ended in the Boys in Blue winning 4-0 and that was away.

Of course the last time the bird men from Norwich visited us, was when we put four past them, including the sublime, cheeky and voluptuous back heel from the legend Gianfranco Zola who is now plying his trade back home in Italy for Cagliari in Serie A.

Although Ricardo Carvalho has a split finger, sustained at Crybury last week, I expect that our beloved JM will stick to the team that started out against 'The Arse.'

Team: Cech, Ferreira, Terry, Carvalho, Gallas, Makelele, Duff, Lampard, Tiago, Robben, Gudjohnsen. If Carvalho doesn' t make it. Expect Gallas to slot into the centre-back position and for Bridgey (who scored the winning goal at Crybury in the CL Quarter-Finals last season) to come in at left back.

Norwich who celebrated their 2nd win of the season last week against Bolton, have two players to watch. Svensson who seems to be scoring at will from headers and Darren Huckerby. No matter who you are, where you are from, this man can cause you problems.

Even so. I expect Chelsea to score at least another four, if not more.
