There is one change to the side that started the win at Stoke. Ashley Cole is missing so Wayne Bridge comes in at left-back.

Salomon Kalou is fit to continue on the right of the midfield four with Florent Malouda playing on the left. Didier Drogba is preferred to Nicolas Anelka up front.

Miroslav Stoch, the 19-year-old reserve team winger from Slovakia, is on the bench for the first time in Europe.
