Match odds (90 minutes play)
Chelsea – 9/5 (BetVictor)
Draw – 9/4 (Paddy Power)
Liverpool – 2/1 (Paddy Power)

David Luiz and Gary Cahill are still sidelined with hamstring injuries, but they are expected to be fit for the Champions League Final against Bayern Munich on May 19.

Jose Bosingwa starts at right-back and Ashley Cole, who was rested for Wednesday’s 2-0 defeat at home to Newcastle, returns at left-back in place of Ryan Bertrand.

Frank Lampard, Juan Mata and Didier Drogba were all second-half substitutes in the midweek game but come back in.

Drogba and fellow striker Fernando Torres are the 15/2 joint favourites with Stan James to be the first goalscorer in 90 minutes, but the Ivorian has been given the nod at the expense of the Spaniard.

Liverpool recall Pepe Reina, Daniel Agger, Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez who were all rested for the 1-0 midweek defeat at home to Fulham.

Manager Kenny Dalglish has decided against deploying Andy Carroll and plays Craig Bellamy up front, with Jay Spearing starting in midfield.

Martin Skrtel lines up alongside Agger in the centre of defence rather than Jamie Carragher.

Chelsea FC starting team (confirmed)
Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Lampard, Ramires, Mata, Kalou, Drogba

Liverpool FC starting team (confirmed)
Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Spearing, Henderson, Gerrard, Downing, Bellamy, Suarez
