So both Chelsea loanees start for Chelsea B, with Wallace at full back and Bertrand Traore playing a striker and/or wide attacker, depending on the exact formation used by Vitesse.

Meanwhile, for Chelsea proper have a slightly odd combination of players out there and I don't have a first clue as to what formation we're actually going to play.  My guess is the 4-3-3, which is awesome because 4-3-3 FO' LYFE, baby!  A ton of youth on the bench as well.

In any case, let's have some fun.
