Chelsea vs. Steaua Bucharest, Champions League: Lineups & Game Thread

Richard Heathcote

I got my Chelsea socks
and my Chelsea hat

I drank coffee from a Chelsea mug
in three seconds flat

It's time for the CL anthem
The Chelsea badge over my heart

Time to kick ass and get at 'em
This shirt will have to do the part

Mourinho makes changes at the back - not unexpected.  Kevin De Bruyne starts on the bench - somewhat unexpected.  Welcome back, David Luiz & Ashley Cole!
