Chelsea have named an attacking-looking lineup to take on Galatasaray, with Ramires and Frank Lampard comprising the midfield. Samuel Eto’o starts in attack, while Didier Drogba also starts for the visitors on his return to Stamford Bridge.

José Mourinho appears to have confirmed that he will attack to get through to the next stage of the Champions League by starting Ramires and Frank Lampard in midfield against Galatasaray, with Chelsea leading on away goals from the first leg.

Samuel Eto'o is the starting striker, with the defence continuing as normal and Willian, Oscar and Eden Hazard the predictable triumvirate behind the forward.

Galatasaray meanwhile start Semi Kaya, who was controversially left out of the first leg before being brought back in, while Didier Drogba also starts up front making his return to Stamford Bridge, where he served out the glory days of his career.

Chelsea starting lineup: Petr Cech, Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Cesar Azpilicueta; Ramires, Frank Lampard; Willian, Oscar, Eden Hazard; Samuel Eto'o.

Galatasaray starting lineup: Fernando Muslera, Emmanuel Eboue, Semih Kaya, Aurelien Chedjou, Alex Telles, Yekta Kurtulus, Felipe Melo, Selçuk Inan, Wesley Sneijder, Burak Yilmaz, Didier Drogba.
