Chelsea I like the fact we have Sturridge on the bench to come on and change things if needed. The amount of times we've had to bring on Aspas/Moses to try and add some more attacking threat is worrying. At least this way Sturridge can come on and make a contribution if things aren't going as well as planned. Also think he's bene slightly off form recently and a game against his old club, he might have a point to prove and try a little too hard.
Still a strong team. Kalas playing CB with Ivanovich will be a brand new partnership though so hopefully we can try and exploit that.

There were rumours of that earlier because Mourinho might not want to risk an injury to Schwarzer. BBC and Sky both reported that Schwarzer is playing though.
Oh look, the Chelsea starting XI are all internationals, costs more than the Liverpool starting XI, and has fewer players aged 21 and under
