Well, are you ready to use your imagination combined with some vague, non-descriptive commentary to figure out what's happening? That's football in modern times on radio for ya!

This might be the first match in about two years, which, to our knowledge, is not televised anywhere.  So, tune to BBC or Chelsea TV and good luck, everyone.

True to his word, Mourinho makes 8 changes from Thursday's fiasco -- Cahill, Azpilicueta, and Oscar the only ones who get to retain their starting spot (with Azpi switching sides) -- and opts for experience rather than youth on the bench.  Didier Drogba is your captain tonight.
