Possible Starting 11 for Chelsea v Olympique de Marseille

Projected Starting Lineups for Chelsea v Olympique de Marseille

          

Chelsea:

• Goalie: Peter Cech
• Defense: Branislav Ivanovic
• Defense: Alex
• Defense: John Terry
• Defense: Cole
• Midfield: Michael Essien
• Midfield: John Mikel Obi 
• Midfield: Ramires
• Forward: Nicolas Anelka
• Forward: Daniel Sturridge
• Forward: Florent Malouda

Notes:  Didier Drogba misses out on the chance to face his former employers as he continues to serve a three-match ban following his sending off in the quarter-final defeat to Inter last season.
Salomon Kalou (hamstring) and Yossi Benayoun (calf) are also unavailable for selection and Ancelotti confirmed on Monday that he will once again not be able to call on the services of England midfielder Frank Lampard with the 32-year-old still struggling with a hernia problem.

Olyimpique de Marseille

• Goalie: Steve Mandanda
• Defense: Cesar Azpilicueta
• Defense: Souleymane Diawara
• Defense: Gabriel Heinze
• Defense: TayeTaiwo
• Midfield: Loic Remy
• Midfield: Benoit Cheyrou
• Midfield: Lucho Gonzalez
• Midfield: Edouard Cisse
• Midfield: Andre Ayew
• Forward: Gignac

Notes: Souleymane Diawara and Loic Remy returned for Marseille in their 2-1 victory over Sochaux on Saturday and Deschamps is likely to stick with a similar line-up at Stamford Bridge.
Remy replaced Andre Ayew in the second half on the weekend and, after he created the winning goal for Lucho Gonzalez, could come into the starting XI instead of the Ghana star.
