Interesting... No Alex

No kalou at all :D

[Sheva. 5,373]

Kalou not even on the bench.

[Kojo 4,676]

There is no Anelka mate.

I suppose we'll have to see, since i'm not entirely sure if that's the official line up.

[Domino- 116]

Kalou not even on the bench.

At least one match will deprive us of their presence

[Kojo 4,676]

Chris Martin who lives up my road is starting for Norwich at the Bridge today.

I thought you meant Chris Martin for a minute. I'd love to see him up front.

Andre Villas-Boas has selected Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres in a two-man frontline.

It looks as though Villas-Boas has gone to a 4-4-2 diamond shape, with Frank Lampard tucking in behind the front men and Florent Malouda playing on the left of midfield.

Branislav Ivanovic replaces Alex in the centre of defence, while new signings Juan Mata and Romelu Lukaku are both on the bench.

Norwich defender Leon Barnett is available after serving a one-game ban in the League Cup defeat to MK Dons, while new defender Daniel Ayala is out for eight weeks with a knee injury. Wes Hoolahan was a doubt with a hamstring problem but starts in midfield.

Chelsea will line-up in the following 4-4-2 diamond formation:

40 Hilario

17 Jose Bosingwa

2 Branislav Ivanovic

26 John Terry ©

3 Ashley Cole

7 Ramires

12 John Mikel Obi

15 Florent Malouda

8 Frank Lampard

9 Fernando Torres

11 Didier Drogba

Subs: 22 Ross Turnbull33 Alex,19 Paulo Ferreira, 20 Josh McEachran, 10 Juan Mata, 39 Nicolas Anelka, 18 Romelu Lukaku

Norwich are expected to line up in the following 4-5-1 formation:

Ruddy; Naughton, Whitbread, Barnett, De Laet; Crofts, Johnson, Hoolahan, Tierney, C Martin; Holt ©

Subs: Rudd, R Martin, Bennett, Pilkington, Fox, Jackson, Morison.

The referee is Mike Jones.

Ah... thanks a lot guys.

[BLionheart 516]

And we are back to Drogba and Torres

[Jusek 2,031]

Lukaku and Mata on the bench! I wouldn't mind to see both of them on the pitch today.

[Ramox 246]

But really.... Why don't give a chance for Josh and PvA? This seems it will be an easy match... Just a chance, if not work, he just substitues them in the half time... This is our biggest problem... Too big pressure on the coach, and he fear about the lowest risk too.... :\

[ZanSnake 1,211]

How is Mike Jones as a referee?

[Term-X 7,891]

A sign Kalou is finally leaving the club? ...

It's like Birthday & christmas wrapped up into one.
