Fernando Torres was named in the Chelsea starting lineup to face former club Liverpool in Sunday's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge (1600 GMT).
The Spain striker, who moved to London for a reported 50 million pounds ($80.54 million) on transfer deadline day last Monday, starts up front alongside Didier Drogba with Nicolas Anelka also in the side but likely to play in a deeper role.
Torres, whose move south was already guaranteed to leave Liverpool fans feeling bitter, stoked things further during the week with a series of inflammatory comments about the relative size and trophy-winning potential of the two clubs.
Liverpool's new 22.9-million-pound striker Luis Suarez, who made a goalscoring debut off the bench in their 2-0 midweek win over Stoke City, is again among the substitutes for the visitors but their other big signing, England striker Andy Carroll, is still recovering from a thigh injury sustained before he left Newcastle United and misses the game.
