Whats even more impressive is they have kept an amazing 10 clean sheets in their last 11 matches so its going to be tough for Chelsea.

I'm always amazed when punters are able to selectively edit out a pair of 1-3 and 3-6 cup losses and then quote "clean sheet" stats - without even a hint that the "rock solid defense struggles" against top flight oppo.
A quick glance at this seasons record against the other "big 4 clubs" ... 0-3 at Emirates, 0-1 at Stamford Bridge, 0-2 at Old Trafford, and I'll also include the 1-3 FA Cup loss.
That's 0 clean sheets in 4 games and 9 goals conceded, and I'd expect that to weigh at least a heavily in your mind as screeds of cleansheets against the likes of Watford and Charlton ...
Having said that ...
Chelsea with Terry
MISSING defend like Arsenal (poorly) so Liverpool are a reasonable chance here ...
(they're just not quite the "superteam" at the back)
