News:
Former Chelsea strikers Romelu Lukaku and Samuel
Eto'o both are doubtful for this game. Eto’o who recently completed his move to
Everton is short of match fitness while Lukaku has a minor toe injury but is
expected to return. Christian Atsu who is on loan from Chelsea cannot play against
his parent club.
Midfielder Steven Pienaar is also a doubt due
to his groin injury. Striker Arouna Kone, midfielders Ross Barkley and Bryan Oviedo
are all set to miss this clash.
For Chelsea, Striker Diego Costa is back
after a minor hamstring injury he suffered in training few days ago. While striker Fernando Torres has
agreed to move to AC Milan which means he won't be in the squad today.
