Gary Cahill will have to wait for his Chelsea debut as he has to make do with a place on the bench as Jose Bosingwa starts at right-back with Branislav Ivanovic moving into the midfield, which hasn’t gone down well judging by the comments I’ve seen on Twitter.

Firstly, Bosingwa has proved to be a defensive liability this season and has rightly been criticised. Also, I don’t really rate Ivanovic as a centre-back and would prefer him to play at fullback and see absolutely no reason as to why Cahill hasn’t been given a chance following John Terry’s absence through injury.

To end on a bright note it is good to see one of our youngsters make the bench tonight. Congratulations Lucas Piazon.

What do you think of the starting line-up and what are your predictions for tonight’s game?
