kakuta should start! ... if you have it it doesn't matter how old you are

he can make the difference in a team lacking in confidence.

No, he shouldn't. We should start a midfield of Zhirkov - Ballack - Lampard - J.Cole

JOSE MOURINHO should today make his first trip back to Stamford Bridge since he was sacked.

The Special One flew into London last night and intends to spy on the Blues' derby against Fulham.

His Inter Milan side face a clash with Chelsea at the last 16 stage of the Champions League.

Mourinho left Chelsea in September 2007 - but can expect a fantastic reception from supporters if he is spotted inside the stadium.

He won two league titles, the FA Cup and two Carling Cups during his three years in London.

TEAM NEWS: Chelsea V FULHAM

In a much-changed side, Yury Zhirkov, Paulo Ferreira and Salomon Kalou all start.

Zhirkov is at left-back with Ferreira on the right. Carvalho returns in central defence in place of Alex.

Michael Ballack is back in midfield with Joe Cole at the front of the diamond, John Mikel Obi and Frank Lampard completing the quartet.

An all-Ivorian strike partnership will take the attack to Fulham for the last time before the African Cup of Nations.

The visitors make one enforced changed. Centre-back Brede Hangeland is out injured so Chris Smalling comes in.

Chelsea are expected to line up in the following 4-diamond-2 formation:

1 Petr Cech

19 Paulo Ferreira

6 Ricardo Carvalho

26 John Terry ©

18 Yury Zhirkov

12 John Mikel Obi

13 Michael Ballack

8 Frank Lampard

10 Joe Cole

21 Salomon Kalou

11 Didier Drogba.

Substitutes: 40 Hilario, 2 Branislav Ivanovic, 33 Alex, 3 Ashley Cole, 35 Juliano Belletti, 44 Gael Kakuta, 23 Daniel Sturridge.

Fulham are expected to line up in the following 4-4-1-1 formation:

Schwarzer; Pantsil, Hughes, Smalling, Konchesky; Duff, Murphy ©, Baird, Dempsey; Gera; Zamora.

Substitutes: Zuberbuhler, Kallio, Etuhu, Riise, Greening, Nevland, Johnson.

The referee is Andre Marriner.

After seeing that team I now feel rather depressed , not usually pessimistic and I hope Im proven wrong but Pualo Ferreira , Ballack and Kalou all in the same team !

Zhirkov should be on the left , Sturridge should be in the starting line up and anyone else should be at right back , Id also have prefered to see Alex in the side today to deal with Fulham's aerial threat.

a) Why is Zhirkov LB again :(

b ) Why are we starting Kalou when we can give time to Sturridge / Borini

c) Why is Borini not on the bench even

d) WHY are we starting Mikel instead of giving someone practice as DM so they can cover during ACON.
