We are working on the assumption that it does come down to a choice between the two players for the first game of the season especially given the fact that both players were given 45 minutes in the last pre-season game against Deportivo La Coruna last weekend.
There is the chance that both players could feature at Stamford Bridge but it does look unlikely that they will both be in action at the outset.
Shelvey did have the better game last Saturday over the two and that could be enough to see him get the nod but it is the question that is causing one of the stronger debates of the week and it will be hugely interesting to see what Garry does on this front when he hands his team sheet in on Saturday.
