Yep I know it's breaking news. I don't know who comes on the bench for Belletti though...

[BlueLion. 21,491]

The official site is wrong. Confirmed on Setanta - Belletti comes in for Lampard, with Essien reverting to midfield and the Brazilian at right back. Pizarro replaces Belletti on the bench.

Already posted the Blues team up, Hingis, and Lampard isn't playing A family member is ill, so Frank is fit for Thursday.

I'm not impressed at all so far. Wigan are outplaying us and have had the better chances.

[PaulHopkins 1]

ooo Anelka soo close with a header!

[PaulHopkins 1]

Terry (I think) header cleared off the line by Scharner.

[PaulHopkins 1]

We are having plenty of corners but the crowd are pissed off and booing

[PaulHopkins 1]

In fact loads of fans are buggering off for a tea or maybe home

[Laylabelle 9,292]
