I'm going to miss the game because I have an early morning flight to catch.

When are we expecting team news?

Well done to the youngsters, they've set the bar high, hope the first team can replicate their dominance.

Good to see Drogba get the nod over Costa.

He is making his 100th CL appearance.

Cech

[The Chels 2,502]

Why not rest Iva/Luis considering they've played a lot of games recently (especially Luis) and Azpi is well rested?

Hmm probably. Shame as I think Luis has shown enough to be the starting LB in the PL.

Where are Christensen and Ake?

Ivanovic could use some rest, as well as Cesc (I guess playing Cesc-Ake is too risky)

Great Starting XI

big game for schurrle and zouma

[The Skipper 20,593]

Great to see Cech and Drogba starting.

Hopefully we're comfortable enough at HT to start taking the likes of Hazard, Cesc and Matic off.

Willian in the middle!

[Barbara 15,149]

Willian in the middle!

unfortunately I'm passed beyond the point I'd be happy about it. He's been such a non-factor in the attack - even if he's trying harder - that really, makes no difference to me wherever he plays...
