This is a shock from Chelsea to be honest.

Starting both Anelka and Drogba.

This will either work a wonder or fail miserably.

very attackin line up alright, id say we are in for a great game tongiht! and imo i think chelsea will edge it! 2-1 or maybe even 2-0!

Haven't read the whole thread. I know cole had to come back in but bosingwa did a great job on messi last week.

What did we do to deserve Ronnie Whelan?

Before I saw the teams, I was going to say that this would finish 1-1. Now, I think it has 0-0 all over it with a small chance of a breakaway/mistake-type goal for Chelsea. In my opinion at least, Iniesta is NOT a winger. He will not have the pace to worry an extremely tight Chelsea defence like Henry could. Abidal is quite frankly a useless lump who should never start and with Valdes in goal, you just never know what could happen. I actually thought that Toure did well with Drogba in the first leg, so I think if he man marks him, I think Barca may nullify the Drogba threat at least.

Would definitely be a whole lot more worried if I was a Barca fan.

Iniesta can do so much damage wherever he plays
I would back him to get the first in a 3-1 barca victory.

i think it's very unlikely that Barcelona won't score tonight, therefore they'll probably go through

Glad Anelka is starting, was waiting for it, 15 on betfair, only 13/2 on paddypower!

on it ! Great value in fairness

Have to say, it could go either ways tonight.
Anelka & Drogba = ****intastic!

How many times have those two really done it together

Anelka will probably play wide anyway.

Think Chelsea will take this by the odd goal. 1-0 or 2-1

It's a hit and miss sometimes, time will tell

Huge game for Barca. Lose tonight and all the great stuff that they've produced this season will be washed away(wrongly in my opinion!) in a chorus of "They couldn't do it against the biggest teams"
