CM – Ramires
With Cesc Fabregas suspended we expect Mourinho to opt for the more attack-minded Brazilian ahead of John Obi Mikel.
CM – Nemanja Matic
Matic was impressive against Sporting and was greatly missed in the loss to Newcastle and with no Fabregas the Serbian will be even more important in midfield.
RM – Andre Schurrle
Mourinho had grown frustrated with the 2014 World Cup winner, but he scored and impressed midweek and we expect Schurrle to retain his place ahead of Willian.
CAM – Oscar
Is yet to truly prove his brilliance as a No.10, but the boss is a big fan of the Brazil international and should continue to put his trust in him.
LM – Eden Hazard
Another who sat out the Sporting match and to many the 23-year-old has been the Blues’ most important and effective player this term.
