Chelsea travel to the Reebok Stadium this weekend to take on Owen Coyle’s Bolton, who have not had the best of starts to the season and currently sit at the bottom on the Premier League table.

Fernando Torres is unavailable for selection as he begins to serve his three-match suspension for getting sent off against Swansea, so either Nicolas Anelka or Didier Drogba will likely start in the Spaniard’s place.

After scoring a goal against Valencia in midweek Frank Lampard has staked a claim for a starting role after being omitted on a few occasions of late, whilst Daniel Sturridge is fit and could return to the Chelsea attack.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 15 league matches against Bolton and have won the last six, but which XI would you choose to maintain the record on Sunday? – Have your say in the comments section below.

    I wish if these players start then certainly Chelsea could be three or four up easily. Lineup :- (cech, ivanovic, luiz, terry, cole,) in the back. (ramires, lampard, meireles, mata) in the mid. (sturridge, drogba) in the attack. In the subs bench : turnbull, alex, bosingwa, essien, mikel, lukaku, anelka. Formation of 4-3-3 could be better i think. Drogba, mata, luiz, lampard, ramires, should be played full time for good result. Go on Chelsea!

    Hour mark.
    Cech-Bosingwa-Luiz-Terry-Cole-Lampard-Romeu-Mikel-Mata-Drogba-Lukaku
    Sub: 4-3-3
    Cech-Luiz-Ivanovic-Terry-Cole-McC-Romeu-Mikel-Mata-Drogba-Sturridge.
    Bang! 6-0

    Mceachran romeu ramires
    Sturidge lukaku mata
    That should do as well

    evryone says that Luiz should play and i am agree but why
    Villas-Boas use Ivanovic!!! That is the only stupid thing with
    Villas-Boas + he don t use Lukaku and if he don t use him then he is going to leave to a smaller club like Athletic Bilbao and he is going to play there and be a fantastic player and then Real Madrid buy him!! But my starting line up would be:
    __________________________Cech________________________________________Bosingwa_________Terry___________Luiz_____________Cole_____________________Meireles_______Lampard________Ramires___________________________Sturridge______Lukaku__________Mata___I think Lukaku deserve to start the match and I hope he does well!!
