Who’d be in your Chelsea XI against Bayer Leverkusen?

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has revealed that he will make changes to his team ahead of our Champions League Group E match against Bayer Leverkusen tonight, with our big game against Manchester United at the weekend in mind.

The former Porto boss will take charge of his first Champions League game tonight and says that he will make the right choices so that Chelsea are in good shape for both the Leverkusen and United games.

AVB said:

“You’ll see some changes. Then we’ll make wise decisions for Sunday. It is very tight. Most of the players were away with their countries last week, we played at Sunderland on Saturday and now we have this European match.”

He added:

“We have only four days to recover for Old Trafford and this has to play a part in my team selection. Hopefully we will make the right choices to win this game and the players will also be up to the level on Sunday.”

Brazilian midfielder Ramires is unavailable for tonight’s game after his red card against Manchester United during last season’s competition. Romelu Lukaku and Ryan Bertrand are ineligible for selection, whilst Didier Drogba and Michael Essien are injury casualties.

With that information in mind, who would you select for tonight’s game?

I’d go for…

P. Cech

J. Bosingwa – Alex – D. Luiz – A. Cole

R. Meireles – J. Mikel – J. McEachran

D. Sturridge – F. Torres – J. Mata
