[Thendo 1,088]

José really has to stop copying me (altough not sure if 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1).

I would go with this (4-3-3):

Schwarzer

Azpi Luiz Cahill Cole

Mikel

KDB Lamps

Willian Schurrle

Eto

[Tomo 21,685]

Fs, was hoping to see Kalas here.

Does this mean KDB number 10?

Fantastic lineup actually. Very happy with it.

Pretty sure its a 4-3-3

[aerlgenx 49]

Ba deserve a start but nonetheless great line up =)

[The only place to be 11,313]

Interesting line-up. Rests key players, gives KDB a shot and will be very interesting to see how they set up.

Schurrle on the left and KDB and Willian to rotate?

[iceboy 992]

Good chance for KDB.

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

I like the line up. Hopefully Lampard is playing today because he won't start against Arsenal as he wouldn't even see the ball.

[iceboy 992]

Sunderland XI vs Chelsea: Mannone, Celustka, Dossena, O’Shea, Brown, Cattermole, Larsson, Gardner, Johnson, Giaccherini, Altidore.

This same line up when we played last time or I am wrong?

[Barbara 15,149]

Fs, was hoping to see Kalas here.

No, I guess Willian is

But to be honest we're the ones who keep trying to fix the players in a position. There's no one fixed in this team, except Hazard that when playing spends like 80% in the LW. Everyone else interchanges A LOT during matches. So yeah, it's sort of pointless deciding if a player is in the wing or in the middle.

I like the lineup, except from Cahill and Luiz partnership...

Didn't Borini start?

[LegenTerry 263]

Last chance for KDB,all my prayers to him tonight. :blue scalf:

[iceboy 992]

Didn't Borini start?

Correct.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Another lopsided 4-2-3-1 performance. Hopefully turns out as good as the West Ham game. Bloody hope KDB gives in a MOTM performance. COYB.

[Shakez 755]

Strange he doesn't start Oscar seeïng how rusty he was against Crystal Palace. Was expecting Hazard to be left out entirely instead of Mata based on the last game. Dunno what to read into this towards the Arsenal game: does this guarantee Mazacar against Arsenal? But then again the match is still almost a week away wich should allow today's players to rest enough.
