Chelsea vs QPR

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I think it's more likely to be a stronger side than we think - Carlo won't underestimate a local rival in a cup match; its a level playing field. I can see something like this being played:

Hilario

Ferreira

Ivanovic

Terry

A.Cole

J.Cole

Belletti

Zhirkov

Lampard

Kalou/Sturridge

Anelka/Borini

[Corazón De León 58]

omg it'll be gr8 2 see joe cole playing again!

'He had the most horrendous bout of cramp,' said Wilkins who has also announced that Joe Cole and Yury Zhirkov will start Wednesday night's Carling Cup match against Queens Park Rangers.

BL, I will be very surprised if he does not start.

rather see Borini any day.

young fresh & hungry talented players should always be chosen over injury prone players.

[Alee. 182]

I think i read Ray Wilkins say Zhirkov will be fit too? or am i confused as usual?

[Steve 10,227]

No Ali he did say that. So i can see him starting.

[EskWeston 696]

Gutted that Sturridge won't get to play. Feel sorry for the lad as it would have been a definate start for him. However it does mean the very real possibility that Borini may start instead, but we will see. It will be fantastic to see Joe back and also playing at the tip of the diamond. And to see Zhirkov in action will also be a treat.

[crazy1 24]

my line up will be like this

turnbull,

hutchinson, ivanovic, bruma, ferreira,

deco, matic, zhyrkov,

J.cole,

borini, sturridge

substitutes

hilario, alex, kalou, belleti, mikel, anelka, ballack
