Mendieta and Southgate may not be 100% fit following their injuries. Also Maccarone has only had 60 minutes in the reserves since his injury.
So will this be the starting line up at 14:00 v Chelsea.
Schwarzer, Mills, Riggott, Cooper, Queudrue, Juninho, Boateng, Doriva, Greening, Christie, Nemeth
Subs: Mendieta, Maccarone, Stockdale, Davies (or Southgate), Russell (g)
Russell has been brought back from his successful loan period at Scunthorpe due to an injury to Nash. Brian Laws (the Scunthorpe manager) wants to keep Russell to the end of the season.
