Roberto Di Matteo said senior players would be heavily involved in this fixture and so it proved, though Petr Cech was given a night off in goal. Terry and Gary Cahill started in central defence while Michael Essien and Lampard were the deeper midfield pair. Yossi Benayoun, absent in New York, joined Marko Marin and Ramires as a supporting cast to lone forward Romelu Lukaku.
