Chelsea take a 1-0 lead into their Europa League 2nd leg against Sparta Prague courtesy of Brazilian attacker Oscar and shouldn’t have a problem finishing the job at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night.
Demba Ba is cup-tied having already appearing for Newcastle in the competition whilst Frank Lampard and Branislav Ivanovic aren’t likely to feature as interim manager Rafa Benitez believes the duo have played too many matches of late.
The team I’d pick:
P. Cech
C. Azpilicueta – G. Cahill – J. Terry (c) – R. Bertrand
J. Mikel – Ramires
Moses – Oscar – M. Marin
F. Torres
Luiz is suspended for this game. I’d use Ramires in the pivot with Mikel and play Moses on the right wing.
Amended and I agree
Cech
Azpilicueta
Bertrand
Terry
Ivanovic
Mikel
Ramirez
Moses
Oscar
Marin
Torres
