As soon as we kick off this evening we'll instantly be back on top of the league.

Is it the same bench as Sat too ?

Nope, as Clark starts Sylla is on the bench instead.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Chavski: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Racist Twat, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Ba.

Subs: Schwarzer, Azpilicueta, Mikel, Van Ginkel, De Bruyne, Schurrle, Lukaku.

Good news with those two being included. I really thought they'd drop Terry and move Ivanovic inside. Mourinho will probably wait until they're 1 down.

And I am. I'm delighted Sideshow isn't fit as I fancy us running at that pairing. The QE2 turns quicker than them.

Would've preferred Okore and Sylla in for Clark and El Ahmadi. Perhaps that will happen on Saturday?

[Legion]

They both deserve their place after their respective performances on Saturday.

[PeterWithesShin]

I guessing that with 4 games in 11 days we'll use the sqaud a lot more the next 2 games.

[TonyD]

Put a bet on that Fwank will score at some point tonight.

Just jinxed him.

[Olneythelonely]

It would have been incredibly harsh to drop KEA or Clark. I'm happy he's stuck to the same line-up. I'm shitting it to be honest.

Subs: Steer, Bennett, Okore, Bacuna, Helenius, Sylla, Tonev.

That strikes me as our strongest 18. Am I missing someone who anyone thinks PL would rather have in there?

EDIT: Baker apart.

[Toronto Villa]

They both deserve their place after their respective performances on Saturday.

Yes, as much as I would like to have seen a bit more size, it's hard to argue with keeping the same line up (Baker aside) as the weekend.

This is going to be a really solid test, but last season aside we've done well up there in recent years. We don't always get beaten and amazingly won against them under TSM, so anything is literally possible.

Keep the faith brothers and sisters.
