Pretty sure we wont miss hazard because of the presence of the great yossi benayoun

From horrible season to great season if we will win this. Simple...

Please no Gary Cahill

Thank god we wrapped up top four so we can actually enjoy this. Would be great to win it but that will be much tougher if Hazard misses out, as I'm pretty sure he will. Might be worth protecting him from further damage even if he's borderline, and that sums up what I think about this competition.

Cech

Azpi Luiz Ivanovic Cole

Ramires Lampard

Oscar Mata Moses

Torres

Subs: Turnball, Bertrand, Cahill, Mikel, Ake, Benayoun, Marin

Could see Luiz in midfield with Cahill in defence and Lamps on the bench, but I'd be happy either way.

Benfica are a good team and have a great chance, but we should really win this so we can have something to celebrate on Sunday. Be interesting to see if we wear the new kit too. Looking forward to another European trophy win to be honest, and another great night celebrating.

If anyone wants to scout our opposition, Benfica will face Porto away tonight in their league. The former are only ahead of Porto at the top by 2 points. And the game will kick off at 8.30pm UK time.
