After defeating the likes of City and Arsenal in a row, Chelsea stumbled to a 2-0 loss against Alan Pardew’s Newcastle side on Saturday.
Jose Mourinho was disappointed by his team’s performance and will be looking to bounce back against German side Schalke.
Torres has been in blistering form lately but was nowhere to be found against the magpies. However, his confidence cannot be shattered by keeping him on the bench after one bad performance.
Notably, since the turn of the year, Torres has been playing his best football mainly in European competitions.
In the last game against Schalke, Blues dismantled the home side and El Nino was arguably the man of the match as he netted a brace.
Expect Torres to start again against the German side.
Mata and Hazard may move out to make way for Willian and Schurrle. Moreover, Mikel may as well return to the starting XI in place of Frank Lampard.
A win for Chelsea will make them clear favorites to qualify for knock out rounds of the champions league. Here is Chelsea’s possible XI vs Schalke.
