Well, here we go.  Mourinho presses the emergency panic button and starts David Luiz as the terrier next to Lampard in central midfield .  Up front, we get Eto'o again, in front of a trio of Hazard, Oscar, Willian.  Meanwhile, Rodgers makes just one change from midweek (Agger in, Cissokho out) and their injury issues get higlighted with 16-year-old Jordan Rossiter getting a spot on the bench.

UP THE BLUES!
