Leeds United vs Chelsea FC: Official lineups and gamethread

Chelsea have returned to England, and they'll be facing Leeds with a berth in the Capital One Cup semifinals on the line. The semifinal draw will take place immediately following the game, with Aston Villa, Bradford City, and Swansea City already through.

The lineups for today will be as follows, with both teams looking for more League Cup action in January:

Chelsea 11: Petr Cech, Cesar Azpilicueta, Branislav Ivanovic, David Luiz, Ryan Bertrand, Frank Lampard, Oscar, Marko Marin, Juan Mata, Victor Moses, Fernando Torres

Chelsea bench: Ross Turnbull, Nathan Ake, Ashley Cole, Eden Hazard, George Saville, Lucas Piazon, Paulo Ferreira

Leeds 11: Ashdown, Byram, Pearce, Lees, Peltier, Green, Brown, Tonge, Jerome Thomas, Diouf, Becchio

Leeds bench: Kenny, Varney, White, Norris, Gray, Somma McCormack

One interesting thing to note here is the absence of Daniel Sturridge. He's healthy, so this should just serve as further evidence that a deal with Liverpool is, in fact, done.
