Who’d be in your Chelsea XI v Benfica?

Chelsea could have a full compliment to choose from tomorrow as first choice right-back Branislav Ivanovic has travelled to Lisbon and may return to the defence as the Blues take on Benfica in the Champions League quarter-final.

The Serbian defender picked up a knock during the 2-1 defeat against Manchester City at the Eithad Stadium and missed out on the weekend’s derby v Tottenham.

Tomorrow night’s match will be the third of seven that Chelsea will play in the space of 20 days and many have argued that the squad may be suffering fatigue, which could have been a factor during the lifeless 0-0 game against Spurs on Saturday.

The Squad:

Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Bertrand, Mikel, Romeu, Essien, Meireles, Ramires, Lampard, Mata, Malouda, Drogba, Torres, Sturridge, Kalou, Turnbull.

The XI I’d pick:

P. Cech

B. Ivanovic – D. Luiz – J. Terry (c) – A. Cole

J. Mikel

Ramires —- F. Lampard

D. Sturridge – D. Drogba – J. Mata
