- Roberto Di Matteo may rotate his squad a little after their exertions in midweek Champions League action against Benfica, with John Terry picking up a rib injury and likely to be rested this weekend.
- Gary Cahill could therefore start in his place, while the likes of Kalou, Lampard and Torres could all be rested.
- Meireles scored from the bench on Wednesday and will hope to start, while Drogba only played a couple of minutes and Essien and Sturridge were unused substitutes so will all be fresh come Saturday.
- Mohamed Diame and David Jones could both be back in contention, though Hugo Rodallega remains a major doubt with a knee injury.
- Having beaten Stoke reasonably comfortably, however, and with no fresh injury concerns, Martinez is likely to name the same side.
- Beausejour missed a couple of sitters in last weekend's win but his delivery set up the opener and he should keep his place.
