Team News
Chelsea
Schalke
- Didier Drogba failed to make the squad last weekend but has trained and will be available to face Schalke if called upon.
- José Mourinho may look to rotate things a little with City away coming up next weekend, but he will also want to make sure that his team secure three points here.
- Oscar could be rested, while Filipe Luis could make his first competitive start with Petr Cech back in goal.
- Schalke have had an awful start to the season but manager Jens Keller doesn't seem like he has a solution to their problems at the moment.
- He still has 5 players out injured, including Benedikt Höwedes while Joel Matip remains a doubt.
- 19-year-old Kaan Ayhan could start at centre-back again if Matip doesn't make it back to play.
Boateng didn't had a good game. He didn't deserve 7.2
God forbid Diego Costa gets a long-term injury... (Crosses fingers).
Congrats Cesc for that goal

Please save costa for Sunday vs. City. Remy will do just fine for this match.

Diego Costa scores!
4 goals against Schalke 04 always seems right
