Don't get me wrong I admire Hazard he is probably our best player but, I think one game on the bench won't do any damage. Andre can do a job against sporing and Hazard will be fresh for the arsenal match.

You don't bench your most talented player in a must win champions league game. Won't and shouldn't happen...

Hazard just needs to turn up tomorrow.

Fitness should be the only reason we don't play the same XI from the weekend. I can see Remy coming in for Costa(fitness) and possibly Luis in for Azpi... After that the team picks itself since both Oscar and Willian played extremely well at the weekend. We need continuity if you keep chopping and changing we lose that understanding.

Agree. This game is more or less a must win, so therefore the strongest team avaliable must be played, but of course with the Arsenal game in mind. Could maybe see Mikel starting, even though I'm not his biggest fan, he still brings some stability.

The Arsenal game is on Sunday, this is a Tuesday fixture meaning there is AMPLE time for recovery. Arsenal play on Wednesday and have a ton of injuries too.

----------------Courtois----------------

-Azpi------Ivan---------JT------Luis-

--------Mikel--------Fabregas-------

Willian--------Oscar---------Hazard

------------------Remy-----------------

Subs - Cech, Zouma, Ake, Ramires, Salah, Schurrle, Costa.

That's what i'd do personally, strong team (as this is a must win after our draw in the first game) with even stronger on the bench. Matic and Cahill need a rest in my mind.

Great starting lineup, even though I would like to see Schurrle in that lineup, prefferably instead of Willian, as I feel we need his pace on the wings tomorrow.

Looking forward to Remy in the starting XI.

I rate Schurrle over Willian. I'm resting him for Arsenal. Willian has the pace we need for sporting, but Schurrle has the aggressive running that'll make the arsenal defence collectively shit themselves.
