...as it happened: live blog, updates, highlights, lineups, comments, etc.
The weekend begins at the London Stadium, where Chelsea's arrival is generally regarded as one of the highlights of the footballing calendar. The locals will certainly be up for it; let's hope we can match them. We've not won at this ground in three years.
Enzo Maresca picks almost the exact same lineup as the people's choice (except at striker).
