How can Chelsea play Leeds on Wednesday when they only arrive back from Tokyo with a 9 hour time difference on Tuesday afternoon? Surely all their players will be too jet lagged to take the field?

Chelsea are arriving back in London this afternoon, not tomorrow afternoon, although your point is still valid.
Chelsea have a big squad and even marko Marin can't get a game so the game is for players like him, Ferrara etc

I'm just waiting for the Swansea fa cup game, win that then we are back on track but lose then we can vent our fury even more lol.

The fixture list does seem a bit cruel on Chelsea seen as how the Christmas fixtures will be starting next weekend.
I assume Chelsea will put out a weakened team out against Leeds to cope with the fixture congestion, but at least they don't play their next Premier League game against Aston Villa until Sunday afternoon.
how much do chelsea need a striker even a half decent striker compare torres's poor miss yesterday to the fantastic goal falcao got last night
Frank Lampard has apparently explained all of the immediately above to Chelsea's foreign players.

Radio 5 live commentary tomorrow night will be pretty interesting to say the least.
If Alan Green does it, it's going to sound pretty [u
]intense[/u] the way he describes things. I just hope we get beautiful game of soccer to listen to, but knowing the rivalry down the years between the two, the ref needs to have a strong head and and hand (I hope it
isn't Mark Clattenburg. If it
is I hope he's reading this!). And more importantly i hope both sets of fans
BEHAVE themselves (which I doubt will happen!).
