Good evening and welcome to live coverage of Chelsea v FC Basel in the Champions League. We'll have the teams for you shortly.

Jose Mourinho wants to right the wrongs of last season, which he of course would like us to point out had nothing to do with him: "We made history by winning it two seasons ago. Last year we made history by being the only champions eliminated from the group stage after six matches, and we ended up in a competition we didn't want to play in."

After Samuel Eto'o started at the weekend, it was sort of expected that Torres would play tonight, but not so.

And Basel's substitutes: Germano Vallati, Phillip Degen, Arland Ajeti, David Degen, Matias Delgado, Gaston Sauro, Taulant Xhaka.

BASEL: Yann Sommer, Behrang Safari, Ivan Ivanov, Fabian Schar, Kay Voser, Fabien Frei, Valentin Stocker, Marcelo Diaz, Mo Salah, Giovanni Sio, Marco Streller.

So Frank Lampard captains Jose Mourinho's side on his 100th Champions League appearance for the club, Willian makes his debut and Fernando Torres is not involved at all. No word on an injury yet for the striker. We'll have the Basel team news shortly.

And on the bench for Chelsea: Mark Schwarzer, Cesar Azpilicueta, John Terry, John Obi Mikel, Kevin De Bruyne, Juan Mata. Demba Ba.

CHELSEA: Petr Cech; Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, David Luiz, Ashley Cole; Marco Van Ginkel, Frank Lampard; Eden Hazard, Oscar, Willian; Samuel Eto’o
