Chelsea vs Fulham

[EskWeston 696]

We always predict these young guns to start, never happens really.

But, If it does, i hope to see Quaresma and Stoch on the wings

Yup your right, it never does happen, even when playing the smaller clubs in the cups....

Quaresma surely has to start this game!!!!! I would absolutely love to see Quaresma and Stoch start on the wings, it would be like going back to the days of Robben and Duff, fast players who like to take their man on.

Guess it shows we're taking it seriously etc but still be nice..

I'd say a mix of youth with experince etc.League be good but be good to finish 3rd or second and get a run out for Weds.Maybe as subs so play say 20 mins or so.

I am not sure about giving the youngins a whole game but half/half seems responsible for us

[Alee. 182]

Chelsea turn their attention away from the UEFA Champions League semi-final with Barcelona on Wednesday, and onto the race with Liverpool for the Premier League's runners-up spot. We haven't finished outside the top two for five seasons, and we could at least clinch third place and entry to the group stages of the UEFA Champions League, by winning this match and beating Arsenal next weekend.

Guus Hiddink has resisted any temptation to rest a significant number of regular starters.

In a powerful line-up for this London derby, Ashley Cole returns at left-back with José Bosingwa swapping back to the right.

Michael Ballack is one of the Barcelona starters who will begin today on the bench. That makes space in the 11 for Nicolas Anelka to join Didier Drogba in attack.

John Terry will play his 400th Chelsea game.

Fulham make one enforced change, Norwegian striker Erik Nevland in for injured Andy Johnson.

Chelsea will line-up as follows:

1 Petr Cech

17 José Bosingwa

33 Alex

26 John Terry ©

3 Ashley Cole

8 Frank Lampard

12 John Mikel Obi

5 Michael Essien

15 Florent Malouda

Substitutes: 40 Hilario, 2 Branislav Ivanovic, 35 Juliano Belletti, 42 Michael Mancienne, 13 Michael Ballack, 9 Franco Di Santo, 21 Salomon Kalou.

.

Fulham are expected to line-up in the following 4-4-2 formation:

Schwarzer; Pantsil, Hughes, Hangeland, Konchesky; Dempsey, Murphy ©, Etuhu, Gera; Zamora, Nevland.
