Chelsea are likely confident going into their UEFA Champions League match at home against Racing Genk, who are struggling for fitness in the back. They're so supremely confident that Juan Mata and John Obi Mikel are being rested to give some playing time to Nicolas Anelka and Oriel Romeu. Here are the lineups.
Chelsea Vs. Racing Genk, 2011 UEFA Champions League: Lineups
Chelsea Lineup (4-3-3): Cech; Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cole; Romeu, Lampard, Meireles; Malouda, Anelka, Torres
Substitutes from: Turnbull, Mata, Mikel, Ferreira, Kalou, Sturridge, Alex
Genk Lineup (4-3-3): Koteles; Masuero, van den Borre, Ngongca, Hyland; Tozser, Pudil, Buffel; Vossen, Barda, de Bruyne
Substitutes from: Sandomierski, Camus, Ndabashinze, Durwael, Nwanganga, Ogunjimi, Limbombe
Jelle Vossen and Kevin de Bruyne are supremely talented youngsters on the fringes of regular playing time in their national team, so this isn’t an inherent cakewalk for the Blues. However, that Genk defense looks less than intimidating.
