Chelsea Football Formation

Lineup (4-1-4-1)

Keeping Torres at the very top is key as his playing style is best suited for long balls in the air or to feet, also he has a good finish so his position allows him to curl shots. Having Lukaku play further back and on the opposite side of Torres allows Lukaku to use his speed and strength to bully past the defense and lay off to either Torres, an on running Mata, or out to Hazard for a far post cross to Torres or Schurrle.

Cahill is the next Terry at Chelsea, so keeping him further allows David Luiz to press higher in the midfield with Lampard, who is perfectly positioned to both play defense and offense; his skill of the long pass will work wonders on finding big man Lukaku, as he is set up just over Lukaku's favored shoulder. Ivanovic and Cole will have no change in their playing roles; wing backs who cross well and track back without a problem.
