TORRES: WOULD YOU PLAY HIM TONIGHT FROM THE START?

It's a simple question with a complicated answer. For me, Chelsea's best eleven has Fernando Torres starting in it, up front through the middle. So how is it a complicated answer for tonight?.

Well, think about it. AVB has favoured the approach of playing people who remain fresh in games up until the Wolves game last weekend. With Torres only playing about 20 minutes of football in the past three games we have had, it would be tempting to play him tonight.

Chelsea need to put out a strong side as it has been openly admitted by the club that this is a competition we feel we can win. Then again, Newcastle away on Saturday lunchtime is also a massive game so do we play Torres?

If it was me, I would play him tonight and give him an hour or so to get him back into the swing of things and then bring on Lukaku for 30 minutes. It would do both of them good.

However, I do have a feeling that Torres may not even be involved at all in preparation for the game on Saturday.

With news breaking this morning that it looks like Drogba's agent has conceded defeat with contract negotiations with Chelsea and now looking for a move for his man, surely Torres has to be the main starter in the side week in, week out?

So if you were AVB, would you play Fernando Torres tonight and why?
