Chelsea vs. Galatasaray, Champions League: Confirmed Lineups & First Half Game Thread

Well, here we go then.  Drogba or no Drogba, it's time to put on our game faces and take care of business.  This is no time for niceties.  Win or go home.

"So normally it will be the same kind of match [as the first leg], with a result that I believe goes until the end. I don't think one of the teams is going to make a result where people know already at half-time who is going to win."

Mourinho rolls with most of his usual first-choice lineup with two changes form the weekend.   Eto'o, as expected, come back in at the top.  Frank Lampard replaces the ineligible Matic in midfield.

Ramires and Mikel are on two yellow cards.

Congrats to Big Pete on his 100th European appearance.

UP THE BLUES!
