Away days have been our forte this season, picking up memorable wins at both Arsenal and Tottenham already, and we are yet to be beaten on the road.
However, Chelsea fans won’t need a great memory to recall our 1-0 loss at The Hawthorns last year, but despite that, we have won 11 out of the 12 Premier League clashes between the clubs, which is the stat that our faithful will be concentrating on.
The Baggies have had their own little run this year, only two late goals from Edin Dzeko have prevented them from recording a super six victories at home this season.
With Man United scraping three points last night, a win today is even more vital as we look to close the gap at the top back down to one point, and further distance ourselves from the chasing pack.
Standing in our way is Brendan Rodgers and his Liverpool side, who despite their stuttering form so far, can certainly cause us a problem, especially with Luis Suarez looking to add to his 7 goals from just 10 games so far in the league.
So, we’ve already heard from our Chelsea fans before todays game, and now it is time to head to the away end, and get the thoughts of our two Manchester United fans.
With their bitter rivals Man City sandwiched between us in the league, a win for us could put daylight between us again, but a loss, and it’s a massive 3-way battle between us.
We spoke to Mark (@Mark_Bartle) and Jamie (@JCBLegend) and got their thoughts ahead the massive clash at the Bridge this afternoon.
We spoke to our Chelsea fans earlier today, and got their views on Saturdays fixture. Now we cross over to the enemy, to get views from two of their fans. Ben, a long-life Spurs fan, and Cameron, a more recent fan of the Hotspur, gave their views and predictions on the big lunchtime kick-off.
Our Chelsea fans were split, one going for a Chelsea win, the other predicting a draw. Its bound to be close, but who is going to come up trumps, lets see what the opposition fans think.
Our Spurs fans can both be found on twitter, Ben is @BenMcAleer1, and Cam is @Cameron_Missen.
Only Southampton have conceded more than todays visitors Norwich so far, and Chelsea’s great start to the season should continue here today, if all goes to plan. However, Norwich finished well last season, and will only be written off by the foolish.
To get an insight into Norwich City, we spoke to two of their biggest supporters, Blaine Lovett and Paul Lancaster, who are on Twitter as @blainel47 and @bomberboy467 respectively.
Today, we face Arsenal in a mouthwatering lunch-time clash, with both teams still unbeaten in the league this season.
With the likes of Cazorla, Arteta, Podolski, and Ramsey in the team, they have the flair and fight to match Chelsea, although it is an area Chelsea will hope that the likes of Mata and Hazard can exploit, especially the latter, who has took the league by storm so far.
Arsenal kept it tight last year as the teams shared a scoreless draw, whilst the game at the Bridge was a 5-3 thriller, which unfortunately we came on the wrong end of. Although one shining light from that, is summer departure Robin Van Persie score a hat-trick in that game, but both Gervinho and Podolski seemed to have step into the role well so far.
Its likely to be Chelsea ‘B’ vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers ‘B’ when the teams are announced at Stamford Bridge tonight, but don’t let that fool you into thinking Chelsea won’t be at the races.
New boys Marko Marin, Victor Moses, and Cesar Azpilicueta will hopefully get game-time, and it’s a chance to show the Chelsea faithful that the goals have not dried up in the team, despite just Ashley Cole scoring in the last 180 minutes of football.
