What Would Be Your Starting 11?

[Alf Bentley]

Kasper Schmeichel

Sean St Ledger

Wesley Morgan

Souleymane Bamba

Paul Konchesky

Ben Marshall

Neil Danns

Richie Wellens

Lloyd Dyer

David Nugent

Jermaine Beckford (Jerman Beckforrr for the thais followers)

Tom Kennedy

Jeffrey Schlupp

Matthew Mills

Paul Gallagher

Danny Drinkwater

I'd go with that starting 11:

- SSL & Konch have more defensive discipline than Pelts & Kennedy, and that's going to be needed; also less likely to lose the ball.

- Morgan, Bamba & SSL also gives us some height as Chelsea are good in the air

- Wouldn't have opted for Danns a few weeks back, but he's in good form & one who might smack one in from 20m

- Marshall will keep possession/shape better than Gally

- That line-up has some width, pace & attacking intent, as we'll need to keep possession & have some threat up front to have the slightest chance...sit back defending and we'll get stuffed

- As subs, I'd definitely consider Gally if it's tight late on, in case of a free-kick/long shot...and Schlupp looks worth a run-out

How have you come to that conclusion? he's not played for three games

Dont get me wrong i think Konch is one of our better players, but to just throw him into the squad for such an important game when he hasnt even played for two weeks, replacing a player that got two assists at the weekend. Dosnt really add up for me.

This isnt side to play vs chelsea though. For me konch is far better than kennedy but kennedy is good back up to have

Konchesky's Premiership experience could be crucial Kennedy has played great so far and deserves more league matches but for me Konchesky is a cert on Sunday
