First of all i'd just like to note that this will either be the last or the start of a decline in number of these pre-match previews that i do. I have managed to land myself another job which will involve me working away quite a bit so internet connection and free time could be very limited. On the plus side much of my work will be taking place in London so mid-week Chelsea games will be attended if i can get my hands on a ticket. Thanks for everyone who enjoyed/questioned/corrected these previews in the past.
