***Chelsea v Champions Official Match Thread***

Sterlings camp puts out a stement saying they look forward to clarity on his situation at Chelsea. Surely available for sale.

Lavia gets his first start for Chelsea.

[nottsblue]

XI | Ederson, Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Kovacic, De Bruyne (C), Bernardo, Doku, Savinho, Haaland

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Walker, Stones, Ake, Grealish, Nunes, Foden, O'Reilly, McAtee

Will take that

They are trying hard to sell him but apparently his wages are putting teams off. That and he clearly isn’t the player he was two or years ago

[john@staustell]

We still look decent even without Rodri, Ake, Walker, Stones, Foden and Grealish

[Mase]

Can’t really knock that team. McAtee did well against these in pre season so a shame he’s on the bench, but hopefully will get a runout.

I think he's exactly the same player mate, just been found out. Initially he had a real boost under Pep, but couldn't maintain it

Certainly not worth the wages

[Beefymcfc]

Come on City!

[john@staustell]

Where have all Chelsea players gone? I'd be worried if I were them

Savinho has replaced Alvarez and I won’t hear a bad word said about him.

One bad word from any of you and your going to get it !

[Nick]

Only change I'd make is dias captain

Do you have thing for the Latinos, is that why moved to where you are?

[blues2win]

Interesting to see how well Doku and Savio track back. They’ll need to.

Agree. Kev ain’t a captain.

[dick dastardley]

Sterling looks like he's being discarded finished as a top footballer needs to go abroad now and end his career

He was called Savio, then metamorphosised into Savinho over summer

Apparently Savhino is his given name and he has chosen to revert to it as it bought him luck as its what Brazil is on his international shirt. Or so I heard.

Don't know who dresses the pundits at SKY, but they could do with replacing

It's clearly sturridge and micahs own overpriced designer contest
