Only Ivanovic, Terry, Ramires and Hazard remain in the XI from this fixture last season.

Ibra was 36£m (+Eto'o) wasn't he? And Kaka back to Milan wasn't a loan was it? Not sure if the tweets even 100% accurate, just found it funny to read!

Cundy definitely said he did his ankle yesterday in training. I've heard nothing else on the story.

Geoff Shreeves didn't ask Jose about Remy, obviously been told not too.

Jason Cundy revealed on Chelsea TV just now that Oscar did his ankle in training yesterday. Unsure of how severe it is at the moment.

Tommy, Jason and Clive wearing yellow in the Chelsea TV studio, looks like that'll be our colour today.

Howard Coleman - Distin - Jagielka - Baines Barry - McCarthy McGeady - Naismith - Mirallas Lukaku Costa Hazard - Willian Ramires - Matic - Fabregas Azpilicueta - Cahill - Terry - Ivanovic Courtois Ev: Joel, Gibson, Osman, Besic, Stones, Alcarez, Eto'o. Ch: Cech, Luis, Zouma, Drogba, Mikel, Schurrle, Salah.

Sounds like both will be involved today despite fitness/injury doubts.

City 0-1 Stoke, Mame Biram Diouf.

Also if you were Dzeko or Jovetic, who have both started the season brightly, and your club bought Falcao two days before the close of the window, you'd storm in to Pellegrinis office ASAP and ask to move. Wouldn't you? By the way, L'Equipe are mentioning Juventus as well as Real Madrid. No mention of City.

Few early rumours that Costa starts on the bench. Drogba up top then.

If he does slag the club off, could we discipline him and dock him the % of wages we're apparently paying him.

Wonder if the confirmation announcement will wait until their match against Lazio tomorrow at 6pm?

If they purchase Falcao, then yeah, they need to raise a lot of money from player sales. But I'm sure Milner, Negredo, Richards and even Boyata could be sold pretty quickly. If they're taking up this 'option to loan for €20m' then selling Negredo may suffice. Personally, I still think he'll go to Madrid. Other than Benzema, they don't have an out and out centre forward do they? Might not feel they need one, but certainly is more realistic than City.

Doesn't really work like that. Unless they agree to pay up before they send him back.

Unconfirmed reports that Alex Song will be presented as a West Ham player before kick off at 3. Edit: yep, its true. Good signing for WHU this.

Great effort Burnley. First point of the season. Thats my weekend accumulator ruined already!

Pretty likely that he's at Cobham right now.

Anderson coming on for United to save the day.

Not til next season, though.

With respect, have you ever seen Destro or Welbeck play? Remy is a good finisher, strong with a hell of a lot of pace which will suit us on the counter. He's a great buy, especially at 8m£. Its no surprise that all the pundits and journos are calling this an excellent signing.

Yep, hes in Berlin for a medical today apparently. Shame really, would have liked to see him back in the PL.

Di Marzio is saying they're in the race for him, not that they're getting him. Still think if he's going anywhere, it'll be Madrid.

Waiting for Torres.
