Don't know if I'll be able to be on here when this starts. Stupid yard work. :(

I'll try to watch this but my internet isn't so great here so I may not get as much as I'd like.

I think you're talking to me ;), nope, mostly been home cooked arabic foood and such(nothing too crazy, I wouldn't be able to handle it =)), also while still settling in haven't been out too much so I wouldn't go to pubs or diners or whatever Brits have :p but I have to say, quite nice here, though there's some strange looking cars here.. hehe.

That's cool. I'm glad you're in London, as Nice left back to NY and we need at least one russian speaking representative of our BS community to be there, in case "someone" on here decides to visit London.;)

Michael Essien will begin on the right side of a front three in a new experiment by Felipe Scolari.

The full-back positions revert to Paulo Ferreira and Ashley Cole and in the midfield there will be a now familiar line-up of Deco, John Mikel Obi and Frank Lampard.

Joe Cole continues to be the preferred option on the left side of the attack. Branislav Ivanovic is on the bench against his former club but the game has come to early for Michael Ballack.

The winner of this game will face Sevilla in Sunday's final after the Spanish side beat AC Milan 1-0 in the day's earlier game, the winner an own-goal by Gennaro Gattuso.

Chelsea will line-up in a 4-3-3 formation as follows:

1 Petr Cech
19 Paulo Ferreira
6 Ricardo Carvalho
26 John Terry (c)
3 Ashley Cole
20 Deco
12 John Mikel Obi
8 Frank Lampard
5 Michael Essien
39 Nicolas Anelka
10 Joe Cole

Subs: 23 Carlo Cudicini, 40 Hilario, 2 Branislav Ivanovic, 33 Alex, 18 Wayne Bridge, 15 Florent Malouda, 24 Shaun Wright-Phillips, 17 Scott Sinclair, 36 Franco Di Santo, 7 Andriy Shevchenko.
