TEAM NEWS: Chelsea V MANCHESTER CITY Posted on: Sun 15 Mar 2009 Guus Hiddink makes changes with Portuguese pair Ricardo Carvalho and Deco back in the starting line-up.

Alex makes way in central defence and Deco is expected to play in the front three, along with Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka who is included despite missing Friday's training due to an on-going toe injury.

Michael Essien is in the midfield with Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard so there is a rare rest for John Mikel Obi after 10 consecutive starts.

Man City bring Wayne Bridge back in from their Uefa Cup midweek side. Other than that Mark Hughes names an unchanged side with Shaun Wright-Phillips on the left and Robinho on the right.

Chelsea will line-up in a 4-3-3 formation as follows:

1 Petr Cech

17 José Bosingwa

6 Ricardo Carvalho

26 John Terry ©

3 Ashley Cole

5 Michael Essien

13 Michael Ballack

8 Frank Lampard

39 Nicolas Anelka

11 Didier Drogba

20 Deco

Substitutes: 40 Hilario, 35 Juliano Belletti, 33 Alex, 12 John Mikel Obi, 18 Ricardo Quaresma, 15 Florent Malouda, 21 Salomon Kalou

Given; Richards, Dunne ©, Onuoha, Bridge; Zabaleta; Robinho, Elano, Ireland, Wright-Phillips; Caicedo.
