Central defence for Chelsea

[KD07]

Terry and Carvalho, for sure.

[Ginu]

Hyppia is just as likely to make a mistake as Agger or Carragher. I feel that the manager will not want to risk the confidence of a young player in a big game like Sunday.

 

He was class in the Community Shield. I don't see Agger losing any confidence if he was put in the squad.

[el_berto]

I think Agger needs the big games now to prove himself. If he's good enough he should start. I think he is.

[Guest Pinto]

You earn your place in the team by playing well. I think Agger has done so.

 

Wouldn´t be far to not play him against Chelsea after being MOM tonight.

subs: Dudek, Crouch, Kuyt, Sami, Gonzales

 

Xabi needs to click into gear at some point this season, what better time than this.

after watching kuyt last night you'd leave him out? on sunday he'll occupy both makelele and one of their centre-backs with his workrate and movement.

Drogba is a bit of a bogeyman for Hyypia like hwenry is for Carra. I would stick with Carra and Agger with Momo in front stopping Ballack pushing on. Let Carra take Drogba for the physical battle and Aggger intelligently marshall Shevchenko

agger marked drogba out of the game in the charity shield.

Tough call, but the perfect sub on 60 min if we are 1-0 up to take it to them. I think if we hold tight defensively Chelsea are for the taking. Stevie is bound to start hitting the net after so many near misses lately. So best he is pushed forward. Having said that if Kuyt starts and gets one the floodgates will open for him methinks.

Personally the only changes to the PSV line up I'd make would be Xabi and Gerrard for Pennant and Zenden:

 

Reina

 

Finnan Carragher Agger Warnock

 

Sissoko Alonso

 

Bellamy Gerrard Aurelio

 

Kuyt

 

It's a flexible team as it could also go 4-4-2 as well with Gerrard wide right.

Same back 5. Gerrard, Alonso, Sissoko, Gonzalez in midfield, Kuyt and Bellamy up front. Hyypia, Aurelio, Pennant and Crouch on the bench.
