Wow no joke, Roy to the rescue.
Bye bye Rodgers.
You have to say that wasnât agains the run of play. Palace played really well.
Final sixth minute of injury time. Brighton sends nearly everyone up. Raya collects the ball.
A simple long kick forward would put Brentford basically through on goal. He slips meaning the Brentford player has to check his run to stay onside.
Was a fun game after our own second half collapse.â
Means they both go above us, with Brighton still having a game in hand over us, and us the same with Brentford.
Nah Brentford have a game over us.
Not bad set of results to be honest if we get our game together. Brighton do have a similar run to us so they may struggle to keep this up.
We need them to keep this up.
0-1 Villa
Great assist from Cucurella it has to be saidâŚput it on a plate for Ollie.
Stats of this game is crazyâŚanyone else not watching the game would think how itâs possible Chelsea losing this, Potter well well well out his depth.
Wow Mcginn with a BANGER! Wonderfully placed into the corner from 25 yards out.
0-2
Mudryk again hauled off early, oh dear.
We need to be patient with Mudryk. Maybe by the 6th or 7th year of his contract he will have settled.

600m spent in 6 months only to be sat in bottom half 
Kante is back 
Donât look so shell shocked, heâll be our #1 target in summer once we find a new excuse not to sign A, B and C.
Just realised Hodgson produced a first âan old manager bounceâ

I assume they will keep Potter regardless (The Dortmund result bought him time) and the way we are it wonât really matter.
At least they are not going be ahead of us on Wednesday morning in the league table.
Villa might but losing to Leicester would be typical Villa.
Starting to worry about Villa more than Chelsea, wonder if Potter regrets leaving Brighton now?
If they keep Rodgers, they may aswell the 3 points without playing.
Iâm worried about us, none of those teams as they win one week slip up the next.
Villa have thisâŚ
No Man City or Arsenal but every team from them down and every team in that battle.
They could go on a run but bar Chelsea they do seem to struggle against top 10 teams. Irony is they lost to Leicester 2 months back and I wouldnât say eithier team has got better.
Need four points from Chelsea and Arsenal and then we go from there.
Somehow a good run and beating Spurs while they also donât beat Newcastle could still get us Top4.
But while Iâm usually a very optimistic person I believe that less than the four points next week and CL is gone for us.
Itâs gone and if it isnât let it surprise you.
I feel like the league is in a really weird period tactically. After the very clear systems that Klopp and Guardiola have fought with the last few years and Benitez/Mourinho defining the era before it - this season is feeling a little lost.
There is clearly a response to wing backs, which has been to move centre backs into the full back roles. Ben White, John Stones, Nathan Ake etc. But to me this really feels like a temporary solution.
Watching games now and it feels like watching games in 2003, there is a certain lack of cohesion or defined plans that I think is a bit shit really. Interesting to see where football goes from here and what the next true innovation will be (and thatâs not having a RB go and play CM in possession, sorry Pep).

Aguerd 1-0 Get in!
Nice header. Soucek offside, not Aguerd.
Guesswork from VAR here, useless.
