Key points: Sneijder pressure on Mikel and transition game, Malouda and Zhirkov vs. Maicon and Zanetti, Eto'o adding width on the right side, which is probably the defensively weaker spot of Chelsea and stretching the defense, Samuel or Lucio and Motta against Drogba

I WOULD SAY THIS IS CHELSEA'S BEST IX WITH THIS FORMATION THAT I DESIGNED.

!!!!!!!!!MAGNiFiCENT CHOiCE!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!SUCCESS iS iNEViTABLE!!!!!!!!

i thinked about many left-midfielders, but few great right-mid's

Capello will probably not risk Defoe. He doesn't consider him his first choice.We will probably see Shawcross get some action as well as Upson.I wonder what the crowd reaction will be to Terry.

Aaron Ramsey's is the third career threatning injury that an Arsenal player recieved in a premierhip game in recent years. Ramsey was not pivotal for Arsenal, but you have to feel for the chap.My memory does not serve me well about other teams, so I ask you guys, are there any other clubs that suffered similar blows?Or is it just Arsenal are not physical enough and calling these incidents onto themselves with that?

Raymond Kopa, Alfredo Di Stéfano, Ferenc Puskas and Gento on the same team. What else can i say? They beat Stade de Reims on European Cup Final. Their fourth title.

This has always been my formation, i designed it as this is how i play in football games, it has always worked. you do you think of the line up?

Campbell really sat back to contain Falcao's pace.Clichy also sat back to cope with Hulk.Diaby and Song sat around the centre circle and dictated the tempo of the game.Arshavin didn't provide much cover for Clichy.Bendtner kept dropping into midfield to help get attacks going, showing he's not just a target man.

Form players, Samir Nasri, Emmanuel Eboue and Theo Walcott controversially drop to the bench.The midfield trio of Diaby, Denilson and Song would provide solidity, allowing the three forwards to roam.Sagna is preferred to Eboue because he is fresher having been rested at the weekend.Nasri might be preferred to Denilson since he's in such good form and offers the creativity the Brazilian does not.
