Midfield:
Frank Lampard and Nemanja Matic will have to hold fort in midfield as Ramires is suspended having picked up a straight red card thanks to a bone crunching tackle on El Ahmadi last weekend. Lampard was a bright light in midweek and thanks to Matic’s screening abilities, the former can barge forward helping in attacks. Oscar will start in his advanced role in his favourite number ten position while Willian is suspended meaning Andre Schurrle will play on the right.The ever dazzling and brilliant Eden Hazard will start on the left gradually roaming in the pockets of space behind the lone striker up front.
Strikeforce:
Fernando Torres hardly made an impact at Villa Park and while Eto’o was brilliant in the midweek, expect Mourinho to stick with the Cameroonian International for this one.
