Willian started on the bench versus Stoke but may as well return to the starting XI in the premier league in place of Schurrle.
Other than that, Azpilicueta and captain John Terry are also expected to return to the lineup in place of Cole and Luiz respectively.

this is just the best starting eleven for our team. Please field this team Jose
I bloody hope this team doesn’t play against us. They’re too strong. Credit for Jose Mourinho for building on the remains of Di Matteo and Benitez. We have got to play Jarvo, Downing, Carroll and Noccerino. Make Mark Noble captain. And have discipline and play to our strengths. Not to concede free kicks near the 18 yard area. COYI
