Chelsea V Everton
DIDIER Drogba will return to the Chelsea starting line-up for Saturday's FA Cup fourth round replay with Everton tomorrow.
The Ivorian was forced to take his place on the bench at Craven Cottage on Monday night as Chelsea were held to a draw by neighbours Fulham.
But with new-signing Fernando Torres ineligble for the tie having played for Liverpool in round three, Drogba has been recalled to the starting XI by Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti.
"Drogba will start," revealed Ancelotti. "I don't know about Nicolas Anelka, but I have to start with Drogba.”
Jose Bosingwa misses out with an injury picked up on international duty, while Yuri Zhirkov returns to the squad after a lengthy injury lay-off.
Aneclotti added: “Yuri Zhirkov is available to play. He will not start but I hope he will have an opportunity. Bosingwa is out but will be available for Tuesday.”
The Toffees will be without injured striker Louis Saha and midfielder Jack Rodwell for the trip to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are yet to record a victory against beaten Everton since triumphing against David Moyes' men in the 2009 FA Cup final
