Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has dropped Fernando Torres in favour of Samuel Eto'o for tonight's visit of Schalke 04 in the Champions League.

For Schalke, coach Jens Keller has named Julian Draxler and Kevin-Prince Boteng in his midfield, as they look to avenge their 3-0 defeat to the Blues back on October 22.

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Mikel; Schurrle, Oscar,Willian; Eto'o.

Schalke: Hildebrand; Uchida, Howedes, Matip, Aogo; Neustädter, Jones, Draxler, Boateng; Fuchs, Szalai
