Attack best form of defence for Mourinho
Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho has picked three forwards on his return to Stamford Bridge to face his former club Chelsea in the Champions League last 16.
Rather than ’parking the bus’ in front of goal, as he once accused a Premier League manager of doing against his old club, Mourinho has chosen Samuel Eto’o, Diego Milito and Goran Pandev as Inter look to protect a 2-1 lead from the first leg.
Pandev comes in for Dejan Stankovic in the only change from the Milan leg for Mourinho, who signed autographs near the dug-out before kick-off.
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti, has made one change from the side that defeated West Ham at the weekend, with Yury Zhirkov coming in for Paulo Ferreira.
Chelsea: Turnbull, Ivanovic, Alex, Terry, Zhirkov, Ballack, Mikel, Lampard, Anelka, Drogba, Malouda.
Subs: Taylor, Carvalho, Joe Cole, Kalou, Sturridge, Belletti, Bruma.
Inter Milan: Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Zanetti, Cambiasso, Sneijder, Motta, Pandev, Eto’o, Milito.
Subs: Toldo, Cordoba, Stankovic, Quaresma, Mariga, Materazzi, Santon.
Referee: Wolfgang Stark (Germany).
