FA CUP FINAL TEAM NEWS: Chelsea V PORTSMOUTH

Posted on: Sat 15 May 2010 Branislav Ivanovic has been passed fit so Chelsea are unchanged.

That means a three-man attack who contributed six goals between them against Wigan last weekend - Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka and Salomon Kalou.

Florent Malouda remains in midfield alongside Frank Lampard with Michael Ballack continuing in the anchor role.

Petr Cech, playing his 263rd game for the club, becomes our joint second-highest overseas appearance maker.

Nemanja Matic comes in for injured Deco on the bench.

Portsmouth make a change in their attack with Jamie O'Hara considered able to partner Frederic Piquionne despite a back problem. John Utaka makes way.

Aruna Dindane plays instead of Anthony Vanden Borre and Michael Hughes replaces Marc Wilson in midfield. David James returns in goal.
