Chelsea vs. Real Sociedad, Preseason Friendly: Confirmed lineups

It promises/promised to be a fun occasion, but the good ol' London, England weather is trying its best to put a damper on the proceedings.

Thanks to Ramires' versatility, we could be in a 4-2-3-1 as well, with Hazard in the #10 role, Schurrle out wide left and Ramires wide right.  But I'm hoping that it's a 4-3-3 instead.
