Chelsea vs. Manchester City: Lineups
Jose Mourinho leaves out David Luiz and Juan Mata for Chelsea, while Manchester City name a fairly defensive lineup including Martin Demichelis and Javi Garcia as the two nouvevau-riche clubs do battle at Stamford Bridge.
José Mourinho has left Juan Mata and David Luiz out of the side, with both on the bench and John Terry partnering Gary Cahill in central defence. Fernando Torres starts up front, while Andre Schurrle is also included in Chelsea's attacking band of three.
Manchester City, meanwhile, have a conservative-looking midfield of Yaya Toure, Javi Garcia and Fernandinho, while Demichelis is a surprise inclusion at centre-back. New signings Jesus Navas and Alvaro Negredo are relegated to the bench for the occasion, with Sergio Aguero alone up front.
