[Teams] Chelsea vs Steaua Bucharest: Confirmed Line-Ups
Chelsea entertain Steaua Bucharest at Stamford Bridge on tonight looking to finish off the group stages of the Champions League in style.
The Blues head into the final fixture sitting top of Group E and already qualified for the knockout stages, but with Basel just a single point behind, the west Londoners will want to secure all three points tonight to ensure they finish at the summit.
Boss Jose Mourinho has made several changes with Mark Schwarzer coming in for Petr Cech in goal and David Luiz recalled at the back. As expected Ashley Cole returns at left back, while Willian and Oscar come back in to the attack. Fernando Torres drops to the bench with Demba Ba starting up front.
Here are the teams:
Chelsea
Schwarzer; Ivanovic, D Luiz, Terry (c), Cole; Mikel, Lampard; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Ba
Subs: Cech, Cahill, Ramires, De Bruyne, Torres, Mata, Schurrle
Steaua Bucharest
Tatarusanu, Szukala, Gardos, Latovievici, Georgievski, Pintilii, Chipciu, Pirvulescu, Stanciu, Iancu, Kapetanos

Well! I think the line up is a good one, Mikel is their to shield the back four leaving Lamps to have the freedom of going forward. I see Chelsea winning comfortably with 3-0 or 4-1. But which ever way I don’t expect any surprises like Basel games. BLUES all the way..
