New Barclays Premier League rules mean every top-flight club has to declare a senior squad of up to 25 players from which they can select players between now and the re-opening of the transfer window in January.
Players who are under 21 at the turn of 2011 can play without being named in the squads.Eight of the 25 need to be 'homegrown', which means they must have been trained in England or Wales for three seasons before they turned 21.
Chelsea Boss,Carlo Ancelotti stuck to his word and didn`t enter the transfer market on transfer deadline day and the nineteen players, complete with squad numbers, are as follows:-
