Chelsea 01 Cech 02 Ivanovic 17 Bosingwa 26 Terry 34 Bertrand 07 Ramires 12 Mikel 15 Malouda (Drogba - 60' ) 16 Meireles (Lampard - 78' ) 09 Torres 23 Sturridge (Mata - 46' ) Substitutes 22 Turnbull 03 Cole 05 Essien 08 Lampard 10 Mata 11 Drogba 21 Kalou I imagine Mata, Cole and Lampard will come in and prob Drogba, at the expense of Torres? You know more about it than me, what do you think? And may you have all the bad luck for the game
Starting XI: --Cech-- --Bosingwa--Ivanovic--Terry--Cole-- --Ramires----Mikel-- --Kalou--Lampard--Mata-- --Drogba-- Substitutes: Turnbull Ferreira Meireles Essien Malouda Torres Sturridge The guaranteed starters are the ones in bold. If Luiz recovers from injury in time then expect him to start at centre-back with Ivanovic moving to right-back and Bosingwa being relegated to the bench. The other possible starters are Sturridge and Meireles (more likely the latter). Sturridge would take the place of Kalou. Meireles if he starts would be replaced with Kalou and switch positions with Ramires.
Strong team unfortuantely, hit some form under Di Matteo. Wish AVB was still there! I think we start as slight underdogs which doesnt bother me to much to be honest, we need Gerrard, Suarez and Bellamy to all be firing!
Not sure if I want Luiz to start for you or not, think he can make defensive errors but is v good at bringing the ball out and has a stong shot on him!
I'd feel a lot better with Ferrera taking Bosingwa's place! Play Ferrera and park Bosingwa on the bench!
Actually there is a chance that Cahill could make it! Must check into Blues News on CTV tonight to seee what the chances are for Cahill and Luiz!
