There is a fair bit of squad rotation in the Chelsea FC lineup as Kurt Zouma and Loic Remy make their first starts for the Blues. Dutch youngster Nathan Ake is getting a chance in central midfield alongside John Obi Mikel and Petr Cech gets his first start of the season in the unfamiliar role as the second choice keeper. There is still a fair bit of quality and experience in the side as Andre Schurrle and Oscar take on familiar roles in midfield.
Chelsea FC’s starting eleven:
Chelsea line-up v Bolton: Cech (c); Azpilicueta, Zouma, Cahill, Filipe Luis; Mikel, Ake; Salah, Oscar, Schurrle; Remy. #CFC

Youngsters Lewis Baker and Andreas Christensen are on the bench and hopefully when the match is well in hand the pair can make their season debuts. Diego Costa is rested and does not make the bench but Eden Hazard and Didier Drogba can be brought on in case things get dicey.
Bolton Wanderers starting eleven:
#BWFC team to face @chelseafc: Lonergan, Herd, Mills, Dervite, Moxey, Pratley, Medo, Danns, Feeney, C Davies, Beckford #CHEvBOL

The only real recognizable face in the Bolton lineup is former Liverpool player Jay Spearing. Fans of the United States men’s national team might recognize Tim Ream who is on the bench for the Wanderers. This is a team far removed from the Premier League and is in real danger of being relegated from the Championship this season. Bolton’s bench:
#BWFC subs: Kenny, McNaughton, Spearing, Ream, Lee, Mason, Clayton #CHEvBOL
