With the departure of our former vice captain, Drogba, Ivanovic is Chelsea’s new vice captain. Cech was next in line for the vice captaincy but he has also moved away from the club.
New signing Begovic starts the game on the bench. Our other new signing, Falcao, is at the stadium for tonight’s match but he only joined up with the squad today so it’s too early for him to make an appearance.
Tonight will be the first chance for fans to see Traore after his loan spell in Holland with Vitesse. He will be keen to impress Mourinho in order to earn some first team football when the season starts. Likewise Moses who has returned to the club from his loan spell at Stoke.
Youngsters Aina, Clarke-Salter, Chalobah, Loftus-Cheek and Solanke are also likely to come off the bench and feature. A lot of fans will be excited to see them get some minutes.
