Chelsea v Manchester City

And so the Premiership season draws nearer.

I know sgoater isn't here, but does anyone have any idea what the city line up will be tomorrow?

For us, I know that Michael Ballack as well as Petr Cech (recovering from shoulder operation), Gérémi and Claude Makelele (both muscle strains), Robert Huth (ankle), and Joe Cole (knee) are all out and Gallas will probably not play, so I expect the line up to be the following:

--------------------Cudicini---------------
Ferreira-----Terry (c)----Carvalho-----Bridge
---------------------Essien----------------
Robben------------Lampard-----------Kalou
---------Shevchenko--------Drogba---------

My prediction: 2-0 Chelsea

Frank Lampard and Andriy Shevchenko to score.

I hope Chelsea get off to a good start

Carlo; Ferreira, Carvalho, JT, Bridge; Sweep, Essien, Lampard, Robben; the DROG, Sheva

1 - 0

Drogba to score.

Common the City ! 2-1 Man City

Well we can all hope right ?

Hate to be nit-picky, but doesn't Terry always start as the left-sided centreback, for club and country?

Strangely enough, but when Ricky Carvalho plays, he normally takes the left side (I say normally), yet when Gallas, who's better left-sided, plays, JT takes up the left side and Willie takes the right (same with Huth)
