Fulham, Norwich and Baggies down.

Stopped watching. Soccer Saturday can keep me informed - pointless exercise.

Chelsea team: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, JT, Azpi, Lampard, Matic, Ramires, Hazard, Schurrle, Torres

...and Steve Sidwell had a goal disallowed for offside.

Tottenham revert to one up front as they bid to end their 24-year winless streak at Stamford Bridge, with Emmanuel Adebayor chosen to lead the line. Spurs boss Tim Sherwood makes four changes in all, with Younes Kaboul back in defence and Kyle Walker returning in a more advanced role in midfield, along with Nabil Bentaleb and Gylfi Sigurdsson. Ezekiel Fryers, Paulinho and Andros Townsend drop to the bench along with Roberto Soldado. Fernando Torres starts for Chelsea.

Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Lampard, Matic, Ramires, Hazard, Schurrle, Torres. Subs: Oscar, Mikel, Ba, Willian, Schwarzer, Eto'o, Kalas.

Spurs: Lloris, Naughton, Dawson, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Sandro, Bentaleb, Walker, Sigurdsson, Lennon, Adebayor. Subs: Paulinho, Soldado, Townsend, Chadli, Friedel, Fryers, Kane.

Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland)

[Ant]

Eriksen injured?

[Lineker]

Missed the Denmark game with a knock. Not convinced that Sherwood fancies him regardless.

It's been a while since I examined a Spurs line-up this closely, but wtf is going on in that midfield?

[Lineker]

Walker on the wing ahead of Naughton. Fucking hell.

[Lineker]

Torres potentially injured during the warm-up?

Yup. Eto'o replaces him in the starting line-up.

Salah promoted onto the bench.

[stokeriño]

Torres potentially injured during the warm-up?

Would that be good or bad news for you?

[Lineker]

...Eto'o down injured within 30 seconds.
