Team news: Chelsea keep duo in

Chelsea are set to continue fielding both Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka for Sunday's visit of Blackburn Rovers.



Sunday May 17

West Bromwich Albion v Liverpool (13:30)

West Brom boss Tony Mowbray is likely to keep faith with the side that beat Wigan 3-1, but keeper Scott Carson is expected to displace Dean Kiely after recovering from a hand injury. Graham Dorrans should be fit but James Morrison (heel) and Abdoulaye Meite (hamstring) are ruled out.

Rafael Benitez may continue to alternate Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger alongside Jamie Carragher in defence, while Lucas Leiva is likely to continue in midfield after he impressed in Xabi Alonso's absence.

Chelsea v Blackburn Rovers (16:00)

Chelsea caretaker manager Guus Hiddink is likely to name an unchanged side after last week's 4-1 thumping of Arsenal, with Nicolas Anelka in support of Didier Drogba, and Jon-Obi Mikel keeping his place in the holding-midfield role.

Sam Allardyce's Blackburn are expected to line up with Christopher Samba again alongside Benni McCarthy in attack, and fellow goalscorer against Portsmouth, Morten Gamst Pedersen, out on the left.

Monday May 18

Portsmouth v Sunderland (20:00)

Portsmouth boss Paul Hart is expected to name Noe Pamarot among the substitutes after the defender completed his suspension. The same for Armand Traore, who has recovered from a groin problem.

Ricky Sbragia may continue with Kenwyne Jones as a lone striker, with Kieran Richardson and Steed Malbranque in support from a five-man midfield.
