Closed Chelsea 2-3 Man City

[Hutcho 8,443]

Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole, Lampard, Mikel, Ramires, Mata, Hazard, Torres

Excited to see Mata, Hazard and Torres together for the first time, not to mention City having Savic in their defense against our guys.

That your line up or a lineup that has been reported?

[Jype 6,398]

Is that confirmed?

I don't know, Dan Levene posted it on his twitter and I find him to be reliable. No confirmation from the club yet.

edit: @chelseafc just confirmed, so yes.

Saw the same line up elsewhere......as strong as we could possibly put out imo.

Fingers crossed mate.

Čech; Ivanović, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Mikel, Lampard; Ramires, Mata, Hazard; Torres

Hopefully Yaya Toure doesn't tear our double pivot a new arsehole.

Oh well. Our back-line looks a little better than theirs!

[Ollie 4,400]

Great team, bit surprised Mata is starting but very exciting line up. Looking forward to this more now after seeing that previous line up ...

Yep i agree, will be happy to see that if that is what it is.. Mata and Hazard together behind torres will be something very interesting to watch. Find out for sure soon...

It looks like a strong eleven. I am very curious how can Hazard play with Nando and Mata.

Come on Chelse!

Would love Piazon to get on the pitch. Interesting that Essien isn't on the bench

[Pizy 18,370]

Think we'll definitely be seeing Sturridge today.

[Keikoismad 162]

That's a very strong line up.

Really looking forward to see hown mata and Hazard will play together

[Madmax 9,219]

4-3-3? Or 4-4-1-1 as in pre season?

[Term-X 7,891]

Essien is living the dream, he gets paid insane amounts to be a reserve player, fully fit.. yet not even on the bench.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

No chelsea game is ever boring but it could well be a bit frustrating if we stuggle to get a link between midfield and attack. i hope merieles isn't actually playing at CAM but we will see.

I beg to differ...

Wow, it just hit me how thin our squad is! We need a striker/RW, or bench is uninspiring to say the least.
