Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Ashley Cole, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic; Frank Lampard, John Obi Mikel; Juan Mata, Eden Hazard, Ramires; Fernando Torres
Substitutes from: Ross Turnbull, Ryan Bertrand, Michael Essien, Oriol Romeu, Raul Meireles, Oscar, Daniel Sturridge
Reading starting lineup (4-5-1): Adam Federici; Ian Harte, Alex Pearce, Kaspars Gorkss, Chris Gunter; Garath McCleary, Jobi McAnuff, Jem Karacan, Danny Guthrie, Mikele Leigertwood; Pavel Pogrebnyak
Substitutes from: Alex McCarthy, Shaun Cummings (ex-Chelsea trainee!), Adrian Mariappa, Jay Tabb, Hal Robson-Kanu, Adam le Fondre
So that's about as first choice as it gets for Chelsea, with the added aerial presence of Gary Cahill back there with Terry. Let's take care of this one early and keep the legs fresh!
