Torres To Start? How Chelsea Should Line Up Against Fulham

Although it's not the fiercest London derby in the football calendar, Fulham vs Chelsea is a fixture that has produced sparks down the years. The west London clash is one that the Chelsea fans usually look forward to, but how should Jose Mourinho structure his side in order to beat their struggling neighbours?

In a 4-3-3 formation I would have Petr Cech in goal, which is the obvious choice, and I would keep the back four the same. That means Serbia international Branislav Ivanovic on the right side of the backline, Gary Cahill and John Terry in the central slots and Cesar Azpilicueta on the left.

The midfield trio that I would select is John Obi Mikel, Nemanja Matic and Ramires, as the former can sit deep and protect the defence from a Fulham counter-attack, while Matic can knock the ball around and Ramires can steam forward to help with the attacks.

Up front I would have Fernando Torres after his strong performance in the Champions League against Galatasaray, and on either side I would have Willian and Oscar, which leaves Oscar on the bench. The Brazilian is a player who I would look to bring off the bench if the Blues are leading.

Chelsea fans, how would you line up?
