Assuming Gibson's not fit and seeing as Lukaku probably can't play against Chelsea:

Howard
Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines
McCarthy Barry
Mirallas Barkley Pienaar
Jelavic

I'd personally like to see Deulofeu ahead of Pienaar, but I do think that will probably be the team

Maybe Osman starting? Might not be perfect to give 2 debuts in centre mid given their strength there

Can ya remember fellainis debut I thought oh my god what the fffff because he was crap

I agree with BlueClarkey. Definitely start Ossie.

Feli was indeed pants for his first season and a half

just lumbered about the place well off the pace

sorry play osman?, with hazard, mata, oscar or de bruyne all interchanging we need someone with pace and bite to keep them at bay and mccarthy will do that and gibbo will if fit but if not then play barry he isn't quick but reads the game well and is not afraid to tackle, osman has mo pace power and cannot tackle, definitely start mccarthy

Osman?Have you lost the plot?.He is garbage always has been, far too lightweight and is now off the pace too.Sorry he's just not good enough.
