Oh man. This is a super duper important one. Big deal. Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are two teams fighting for probably one Champions League spot between them (Arsenal's going to come up against a demoralized Wigan team with Roberto Martinez headed to Everton next week, sorry). Below, you can find lineups.
The @chelseafc team: Cech; Azpi, Ivanovic, Cahill, Cole; Ramires, David Luiz; Oscar, Mata, Hazard; Torres. #CFC

Our line-up: Lloris; Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Huddlestone, Parker, Holtby; Adebayor, Bale. #THFC #COYS

Spurs seem to be calling that lineup a 4-4-2 with Lewis Holtby, though I'll believe it when I see it. I expect a lot of FRAABing when we have the ball, but watch where Holtby and Bale go when we lose it. The Luiz-Ramires pivot has lol positioning, so I have some confidence in our team.
Kickoff is at 7:45 pm local time, 2:45 pm ET. You can catch the game on Sky Sports 1 in the UK, FOX Soccer in the US and Sportsnet regional networks in Canada. Chat away.
