Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez has made two changes for tonight's crucial Champions League clash with Nordsjaelland at Stamford Bridge.

John Obi Mikel has been replaced by Oriol Romeu, while David Luiz is in for Cesar Azpilicueta.

Meanwhile, Fernando Torres will start as the lone striker with Juan Mata, Victor Moses and Eden Hazard all behind the Spaniard.

Chelsea must beat their Danish opponents and hope that Juventus lose to Shakhtar Donetsk if they are to reach the knockout stages.

Subs: Turnbull, Oscar, Mikel, Ferreira, Marin, Azpilicueta, Bertrand
