Premier League - Malouda fit for Liverpool trip
Chelsea's top scorer Florent Malouda will be fit to face Liverpool this weekend despite manager Carlo Ancelotti claiming on Thursday that he was injured.
The Italian backtracked from his earlier analysis on Friday, in which he said the ankle injury sustained in the win over Blackburn last week would keep the Frenchman sidelined.
"Malouda is available to play, he has recovered very well" said the Chelsea boss, adding that the striker would be in the starting line-up.
Ancelotti also changed his mind over the fitness of Frank Lampard, who had been expected to be fit in time for the trip to Anfield.
"He is not available for this game, we have to take time again," said Ancelotti. "Next week finally he will be ready.
"Now he moved on and started to train, we've taken time to put him 100 per cent fit, it was not an easy problem, this is the only reason.
"We don't want to take a risk. I hope he will be ready against Sunderland."
The Chelsea boss also added that Michael Essien is now a doubt for the match after picking up a toe problem in training.
"It is a little problem but I hope he will be available to play," said Ancelotti. "I think he will travel for Liverpool and we will take a decision Sunday morning."

Once again trundle,all you appear to do is type a line or two of profanity and pointless retorts.
1...... I am above you.
2 ..... I mock you.
And 3 ........ You've been reduced to posting replys to me,thumbing down my posts lmfao.
Incase it escapes you,the majority of all my posts are opinion based points of view.
I actually post something of merit,whether you read it and understand it,or whether you just thumb it down because I'm on your clubs pages........I dont care.
I make my views known,regardless of the little plebs who spend their time pointlessly sparring with eachother,in their own form of pigeon English.
Malouda,probably wont be used for the full 90 mins.
I'm guessing if Torres has another shocker,he wont either.
simple @#$% i wonder why you keep changing your id ?????????????? plastic muppet
Coming from a Chelsea fan thats about as laughable as you thinking Chelsea are in any way as successful as Liverpool Arsenal or United.
Clearly you've had success within the last few seasons.
But thats as far back as it goes.
You can't be a very knowledgable Chelsea fan if you don't remember the "Chelsea headhunters".
Renowned football hooligans.
I wouldn't expect you to remember.
Your footballing venture seems to have began with Abramovich .
As is typical with most of the Thuggishly inappropriate posts "your lot" leave on Liverpool threads.
I dont deny Liverpool have some Dodgy fans.
Most clubs have them.
Some have more than others.
Those who have been playing in Europe for decades tend to encounter trouble.
English fans still have the stigma attached to them in Europe,and are hence targets.
You'll remember Liverpool fans getting stabbed in Napoli,a family getting assaulted in Napoli.
A Leeds Supporter getting stabbed not so long ago.
The violence is throughout football.
And Chelsea,"before your time evidently" HAD/HAVE a reputation for violence,as do Arsenal,and United.
Only someone Living in a blue shade of @#$% would think otherwise.......................Must just be Liverpool fans eh .
As for being shyte,as you put it.
Have you won the Champions league yet? NO? why not.
You've been un Europe for season after season,yet you just can't seem to win the trophy.
That should be telling you something.
You ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.
As the name suggests,its a league format for all the winners and runners up of different countries within Europe.
Winning the Premier league doesn't mean you have the right to win the Champions league,simpleton.
You have to earn that right.
And Liverpool have on 5 occasions,and we won a cup for keeps.
Shoot your mouth off towards the end of the season,you're a little premature, snowflake
108 ! let me put you straight about your club ! seeing you enjoy posting on this side !
you are shyte , and thugs !
Post 103.
It's far too early to be sure about anything regarding Liverpool and their new owners.
The youngsters at our disposal might not be Beckhams and Giggs etc etc ,but i do remember United being barren for many seasons and Fergie being very close to the sack.
They turned it around.
No reason why we cant.
I will say i like the more cautious approach by Henry.
And although its met with alot of hooha,i actually like the idea of taking the power away from Hodgson about signing willy nilly.
As henry said not so long ago they knew nothing about football,so would be sensible to employ someone to be a go between during transfers .
Just scrolling back it's funny how you say,"we dont need to shout our mouths off".
That too is relative to each supporter,as there appear to be a few deluded Chelsea fans who think 4 titles is far superior to 18 titles and 5 Champions league trophies.............
As i've seen there are a few deluded scousers too,but not deluded about their clubs status,they're just a little retarded in general.
And no I am not ASK AND I MIGHT.......
As for Being deluded.
If bitterness about being the 2nd most successful club in england brings about retorical jealousy,then United supporters are the worst of all
To put you straight about our club ...........
If you read the news, talk to rival fans who know their arse from their elbow,or even read news papers,you would know the club gave Martin Broughton carte blanche as far as finding a new owner was concerned.
The club had to meet a deadline to pay debts back before a deadline.
Only when it became clear the deal would leave the two yank twats with nothing ,did they try to block it,because they wanted to bleed as much profit for f*ck all investment.
NESV came in with an offer,that offer was accepted.
Kenny came in with a bid that offered more,but as is in Buisness a gentlemans handshake means something.
He offered an increased bid,but as it plays out didnt have much more money than the NESV buyers combined,if more at all.
And was rightly refused.
He withdrew the bid he thought would give him the club,because he is on the other side of the buisness world.
Those who are buying,those who want to buy,when there is an opportunity to buy a club like Liverpool underhanded measures can occur.(ie) Making a bid while a deal is already being agreed,trying to GAZUMP an offer.
He gave up and we were sold to the buyer the Director agreed to sell to.
There is nothing wrong in this deal ,and in fairness!,I think we have the better of the two buyers,and the previous owners walked away with less.
So good all round.
Hope this was clear enough for you to grasp .
Pmsl@ waddlesthroughEurope.......Well you're an arrogant little fool and Chelsea are nothing more than a make weight for the Champions league competition, gutless when it comes to proper opposition lol........so that kind of contradicts your "theory"....
If as you claim "The reason Liverpool are hated" lays with being arrogant...............We are the most successful club in English football,we flew the flag for British football,and Dominated Europe.
I make no apologies for your OBVIOUS JEALOUSY towards Liverpool fans being proud of their club and players achievements.
Thus being a successful club,denotes spending alot of time in various competitions ,which meant lots of dedicated fans will travel,and as you know travel broadens the horizons,and builds character..........Hence Scousers being some of the most humorous fans in football............so much so rival fans take "a pop" out of jealousy............such as yourself.
But we dont care.
We have proper achievment to be proud of,and so do you,for winning 4 titles.
But you should respect our achievments.
because they vastly outweigh yours.
simple @#$% ! i take the previous post 100 was for my benefit ! the eason you are hated all across europe is nothing to do with football ! as you well know ! your arrogance is again in th fore! talking of bailing people out it is only weeks since the only buyer you could find , pulled out of the deal and bankrupsy stared you in the face ! these yanks that bought you cheap ,see you as a good earner watch them do what the H&G team did ! you scousers seem to forget your bad points and keep reliving the good old day's , ok thts the last time i'am replying to your posts as you hijacked ask i might say's reply ! unleess you are the same person ??????? good luck for sunday !
why do man utd and liverpool supporters always live in the past. it is although they are afraid of the present and future. both are past their sell buy dates. there are new kids now on the block and the glory days of the north west are far gone.
101 you missed mr avram grant !
Well said sempre, except for the FACT that puddle are history! It's a different league now, go back and watch your OLD history, cuz it's all you're gonna have for a while. Remember history is written by the victor. Which hasn't been puddle and won't be puddle for many years either way. Lastly grats on gettin the yanks out! How do you like the YANKS that are in??? Can't even get a win off the field either!!!!!
101 you thicko ! what does it matter how many time you used to win the league ! on the same point ! chelsea will win the champions league before you ever win the premiership !!!!! not that it matters we support our team whether they win or not ! we dont need to shout our mouths off about how big we are !believe it or not !!! it is ok to be second best ! but we do happen to have a fantastic football side recognised throughout the world at this moment in time ! something that seems to rile lesser performing teams ! you seem to enjoy running everyone down on here ! why does it make you feel better than others ! sad .
If any old club can win the cup........................Explain why you havent won the Champions league under Vialli/Hoddle/Ranieri/Scollari/Jose/Hiddink/Ancelloti ? .
And explain to me how the best club can win the league....................We've won the league 18 times lol.
How many times have you won it ? eh eh .
Past or present doesnt matter.
When Liverpool finally win the Premier league(as you all know is just a matter of time)Will that consign Chelsea and United's achievements to history.?
Will you point out that "ahhhh we've won it 4 times"...........
Of course you will.
It's a statistic.
One things for sure,in your lifetime Chelsea will never win the title 18 times.
They don't have the ideology or the squad.
Chelsea are no United and Deffinately no Liverpool.
Lmfao keep your hair on old man,you sound a little angry there hehe.
Shame you don't have the intellect to grasp a simple concept.
I said,in reply to your idle mocking.
The reason we may have a reputation in Europe is rivalry,"while Dominating" in Europe.
As you clearly show,people seem to be jealous of winners.
And you seem very bitter about something.
Maybe the lack of Champions league trophies.
If you have to point out that a few were won on penalties,I think that paints you as a very bitchy and desperate individual.
If I were to speak in similar fashion,I could say that had Abramovich NOT bailed out your club,you wouldn't have won any titles either....................
Come back when you've won a few Champions league trophies.
We could lend you won if you like hehe
Chelsea £538 mill since 92-2009 premier league.
United £391 mill......................
Liverpool £380 mill.
Spurs £356 mill.
Thats since 1992.................
So where exactly have you got £400 mill spent in the last 5 years @ Liverpool?
Are you including money for players sold,or players bought with money from sold players?.
80! WELL COMPOSED YOU MUST BE WELL PROUD !

BUT THE BEST TEAM WILL ALWAYS WIN THE LEAGUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have got more front than brighton say i am immature , you act like a four year old running off to wikipedia to try and make you look intelligent ! we will see about the 300 mill comment because your club has just been sold for 300 mill !!! lock stock and barrel ! quite expensive for a bottom of the table side ! and yes CHELSEA one of the best football teams in the world ! get over it .have you ever seen gerrard win the league??????? i think you never will
