Chelsea are flying high in the premier league being on top of table with 5 wins and one draw. However, their champions league campaign did not start as they wanted.
Blues were held onto a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge by German side Schalke and that makes Sporting game away from home all but very important.
The Portuguese side also drew their first game 1-1 with Maribor away from home and may give Chelsea tough time.
Mourinho has to take into consideration the game against Arsenal next weekend and may start a few key players on the bench, especially Costa who the Blues have handled very carefully so far.
Hence, expect Remy to start upfront as a lone striker. As far as playmaking is concerned, Schurrle came on from the Bench for 20 minutes against Villa and will probably get the nod to start in mid week.
Here is Chelsea’s probable XI vs Sporting.
