Chelsea Football Formation

Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Chelsea team vs Norwich. Mikel is not required as Ramires and Lampard are capable defensively and Chelsea do not need a player like Mikel to sit against a team like Norwich as Chelsea will dominate possesion. Luiz not ready on fitness and Alex dropped due to poor performance and perhaps in wrong frame of mind to play as he may not feel confident and there is talks of him wanting a move to Italy. Mata to make his debut to help supply Torres who will also be supported by Benayoun who works well with Torres. Malouda picked from last week's performance against West Brom scoring winning goal, but may lose place in team to Sturridge after his suspension expires against Sunderland (A). Benayoun may play his final game as he may perhaps be part of a swap deal for Modric. If not and Modric does arrive anyway Benayoun won't see much playing time. In bigger games Ramires may have to be dropped to accomodate Mikel and the much-needed experienced Lampard. McEachran could rotate with Lampard in the smaller games, likewise Lukaku with Torres.
