As expected, most of the first-choice players rotate back in after the midweek Champions League match. The one big exception is Kurt Zouma retaining his place for the fifth straight match, with John Terry once again just on the bench — it's our fastest center back combination, which is good considering that Walcott starts at center forward.
It's a very experienced bench, other than Blackman and RLC. Pedro's apparently fit enough after being ruled out earlier in the week, while Oscar's back again as well. And yes, Ivanovic is there, unsurprisingly, and with the captain's armband.
Here we go.
COME ON, CHELSEA!
