Closed Chelsea v QPR

[DDA 9,570]

I cannot believe that so many of you are calling this starting line up an underestimation of QPR. How bloody insulting lol. That team should absolutely demolish QPR, derby or no derby. Unless Harry has worked a small miracle over the past 5 days then guessing from QPR's last game against Pool this should be over before it's begun.

From the Chelsea website

1 Petr Cech

28 Cesar Azpilicueta

2 Branislav Ivanovic

24 Gary Cahill

34 Ryan Bertrand

4 David Luiz

8 Frank Lampard ©

13 Victor Moses

11 Oscar

21 Marko Marin

9 Fernando Torres

Substitutes: 22 Ross Turnbull, 19 Paulo Ferreira, 3 Ashley Cole, 7 Ramires, 10 Juan Mata, 17 Eden Hazard, 35Lucas Piazon.

I thought Cech was injured? Have they made a mistake?

EDIT: They have......same article it says "Ryan Bertrand is back from injury to give Ashley Cole a rest. Ross Turnbull replaces injured Petr Cech in goal."

it wouldnt be the first time ...last year they had us going out of CL at Barca

Only real concern I have from QPR is Abel Tarabt even against pool he looked dangerous around 18 yard box..def will need to keep an eye on him

[Keikoismad 162]

I guess the manager indeed is taking a risk. This line-up never really played before and QPR are dangerous, certainly because they 're loosing all the time. A wounded team is a dangerous team, they say in Belgium.

Anyway, hup hup go go Chelsea!

prediction 3-2 chelsea

[bushman 2,043]

I like the way Rafa gives much needed rest to key players. Mata, Hazard, Ramires, Cole..

Come on chaps. 4-5 goals by Chelsea. We could use it, later.

[Leif 6,006]

Bertrand to score via. a deflection.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Just got back from work, lets get ready to rumble...

Lamps is starting, don't worry people...

[Henrique 9,133]

LMFAO

How many votes do you predict for Hazard (if he is subbed in)?

if he plays 20 minutes he will be at least the 3rd best voted. No doubt about it.

[zolayes 14,489]

BBC have cech starting SO he def wont be

Qpr line up??

[Milan 17,835]

I am very happy with the line up. Moses and Marin on the wings is something I was looking forward to and something completely different from having all the three maestros behind Torres and attacking through the middle.

Frank can actually be given some chances to score and move above Dixon.

Qpr line up??

tarabbt and 10 others...

[Hutcho 8,443]

We have one strong bench if needed though one would hope we won't.

[petr.breu 1,618]

Who would be captain if Lamps wouldn't be in starting 11?

[Milan 17,835]

Qpr line up??

Cesar, Onuoha, Nelsen, Fabio, Hill, Derry, Taarabt, Granero, Mbia, Hoilett, Mackie

[Peppen 934]

Would that be for a spot in the first team or for a transfer?

What do you think?

[iceboy 992]

Where is Ramires??

[DONI. 1,291]

Where is Ramires??

On the bench
