Central midfield – John Obi Mikel
The Nigeria international missed out against the Toffees, but with Nemanja Matic cup-tied the 26-year-old could be required for some defensive nous in the middle.
Central midfield – Frank Lampard
It’s a big game and the sort that veteran Lampard is used to and that experience could prove to be vital; even if the England international doesn’t play the full 90 minutes.
Right midfield – Ramires
To add some more physicality in midfield we think Mourinho will start with Ramires ahead of Brazilian counterpart Oscar, especially as the latter has only just returned from injury.
