After being rested at the weekend against West Brom, Juan Mata, Ramires and Branislav Ivanovic will return for Chelsea against Juventus in the Champions League tomorrow and the Blues must get a positive result.
John Terry is still out injured, unfortunately, and that will remain a defensive worry but Ashley Cole may return to action after his recent absence with an ankle injury.
Chelsea have only won two games in their last seven and Roberto Di Matteo may have lost patience with a number of his stars after a string on poor performances, which XI should he pick for tomorrow’s game in Turin?
The team I’d pick:
P. Cech
C. Azplicueta – B. Ivanovic – G. Cahill – A. Cole
J. Mikel – Ramires
Oscar – J. Mata – E. Hazard
D. Sturridge
Our defensive problems are well documented at the moment and there’s no combination of forwards I’d have complete faith in to help see this game through, but I believe the above combination is the most solid we have to offer. Cesar Azpilicueta has looked good at fullback and although Gary Cahill isn’t playing great, I’d have him ahead of Captain Catastrophe, who was worse than useless at the weekend.
The midfield more or less picks itself and although the result against West Brom was crap, I’m hoping the likes of Mata and Ramires are feeling well rested and up for the Juventus game.
Fernando Torres didn’t have an attempt at goal on Saturday and it isn’t the first time he’s gone through a game without a single shot. I don’t want to see him in the starting line-up, it’s like playing with ten men. Daniel Sturridge missed a few chances in the same game and was criticised, but if he’s given a run of games to build form/sharpness, will those shots start going in for him?
pls RDM i want see marko marin for your sqoud again juventuse because you never give him chance since he have arrive at chelsea from germany arly on the season afting now he never start play in premier or even champion,carling, and FA cup.

men, i share ur view on this, imagine people prefering sturridge to torres. Do u know how many glaring chances sturridge misses in a game? please put torres in the starting eleven. Also, someone should pls tell moses to shape up.
first of all can i just say how bad the grammar is from these reply’s. Secondly i agree with that formation David luiz needs to be dropped chaill and ivanovic played okay against liverpool. torres needs to dropped aswell and maybe mikel but you dont want to change the team to much.
azpi ivan cahill cole
mikel lampard
ramires mata hazard
sturridge
P. Cech
C. Azplicueta – B. Ivanovic – G. Cahill – A. Cole
J. Mikel – Ramires
Oscar – J. Mata – E. Hazard
D. Sturridge
and marko marin substitute for oscar at the 70minute
Cech picks himself, with Terry out and David Luiz costing us games, Branislav and Gary should start at CB. With Ivanovic at CB, Cesar Azpiliqueta is next in line at RB, and he isn’t bad! If Ashley is ready is ready..let him start ahead of Ryan Bertrand. If the resent defensive performances are anything to go by..I hope all can see how much we still need Terry and Cole!(Two of the “old guard” people want gone). We don’t have much in deeper midfield, Lamps isn’t match fit so I guess John Obi and Ramires should start! I think Lampard should be braught on in the second half! Juan Mata, Oscar and Eden Hazard is the best we have in the attacking third so the obviously the MaZaCar should start, especially in a big game such as this! I really hope we get to see Marin. Up front, comming from a person who have always backed and stood by Fernando, I’m so fed up with Torres! Pick Dani Sturridge ahead of him! Let’s se what happens.
Cech
Azpi, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole
Mikel, Ramires
Mata, Oscar, Hazard
Sturridge
Can some pls tell me why Marko Marin was bought by the club? Is this because he fell out of favour in the RDM peking order, I mean what’s wrong with this boy for God sake do not kill his talent and instinct on bench. Sell him to the club that needs him most. He is a very good player being benched at all the times even in league cups competitions he doesn’t make starting xi. A lot of agitations from the fans for his inclusion but yet he is still out of favour.
Pls we want to c marko marin play in dis game against juventus my xi cech invanovic cahill luiz cole mikel ramires mata oscar hazard sturridge
