Fri 12 Dec, 01:15 PM


Chelsea coach Luiz Felipe Scolari must decide whether to stick with Nicolas Anelka or recall Didier Drogba against West Ham at Stamford Bridge.Ivorian Drogba is available again after completing a three-match ban for throwing a coin into the crowd against Burnley in the Carling Cup.

Winger Florent Malouda is a doubt with a hamstring problem while Ricardo Carvalho (knee), Franco Di Santo (hamstring) and long-term injury victim Michael Essien (knee), remain sidelined for Sunday's Premier League game.

Kick-off on Sunday is at 4pm.

Chelsea (from): Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Bosingwa, Belletti, Ferreira, Alex, Terry, Ivanovic, Bridge, A Cole, Lampard, Ballack, Obi, Deco, Kalou, Drogba, Anelka, J Cole.

  1. ask avam grant or mourinho. there s no controversy about it at all. chelsea has good players but scolari has not come to terms with what combination to address what opposition. the later he does that, the later chelsea will get its bearing right

    chelsea also has some permanent bench warmers

  3. play both... lets see but Drogba should be a first priority cos Anelka is a lazy rebound scorer
