Chelsea take on Sunderland at Stamford Bridge in a hugely important game for both sides who are at different ends of the Premier League. Sunderland got a win last time out vs. Derby, but getting one over the Premiership's "form" team will be a tough one.
Injuries
Florent Malouda (knee) is a doubt, while Michael Essien is suspended with Paulo Ferreira, Ricardo Carvalho and Michael Ballack still sidelined. Drogba and Cech will miss out too.
Sunderland on the other hand have Nyron Nosworthy (hamstring), Kieran Richardson (back) and Russell Anderson (ankle) out.
Keane: 100% please
"We will be going out and people will be thinking how much are we going to lose by.
"But if I was some of our lads I would be rubbing my hands. We are going to be tested by top players.
"The bottom line is you can only play 11 against 11 and all you can ask as a manager is 100% from your players."
Squads
Chelsea (from): Cudicini, Hilario, Belletti, Terry, Alex, Ben-Haim, Lampard, A Cole, Bridge, J Cole, Obi, Sidwell, Kalou, Shevchenko, Pizarro, Wright-Phillips, Makelele, Drogba.
Sunderland (from): Gordon, Ward, McShane, Halford, Harte, Higginbotham, Collins, Yorke, Etuhu, Miller, Leadbitter, Wallace, Whitehead, Kavanagh, O'Donovan, Jones, Chopra, Connolly, Murphy, Stokes, Cole.

Chelsea 4-0 Sunderland
Quite simply put, these are the games Roman Abramovich demanded attacking football for. This will only be one side in this one despite their injury worries.
Goalscorer: Frank Lampard.
