Avram Grant has shuffled his pack for the last away league game of the season including starts for Nicolas Anelka and Florent Malouda in attack, John Mikel Obi in midfield and Paulo Ferreira and Wayne Bridge at full-back.

Anelka and Malouda are set to play either side of Didier Drogba in a three-man attack. Mikel will anchor a midfield which sees a move forward from right-back for Michael Essien and Frank Lampard on the bench.

Newcastle make just one change and it is an expected one. Fit-again Abdoulaye Faye comes into central defence for David Edgar.

Chelsea will line-up in a 4-3-3 formation as follows:

1 Petr Cech
20 Paulo Ferreira
6 Ricardo Carvalho
26 John Terry (c)
18 Wayne Bridge
5 Michael Essien
12 John Mikel Obi
8 Michael Ballack
39 Nicolas Anelka
11 Didier Drogba
15 Florent Malouda

Substitutes: 23 Carlo Cudicini, 33 Alex, 8 Frank Lampard, 10 Joe Cole, 7 Andriy Shevchenko.

Newcastle are expected to line-up in the following 4-3-1-2 formation:

Harper; Beye, Taylor, Faye, José Enrique; Gérémi, Butt, Barton; Owen (c); Viduka, Martins.

Subs: Forster, N'Zogbia, Cacapa, Duff, Smith.

The referee is Steve Bennett.
