Manchester City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson looks set to have midfield duo Martin Petrov and Michael Johnson available.

Petrov was suffering from flu and Johnson had a groin injury which forced him to miss last week's 3-1 defeat at Birmingham.

Both players could feature in but defenders Michael Ball and Micah Richards (both knee) remain on the sidelines.

Chelsea coach Avram Grant will be hoping that goalkeeper Petr Cech has finally recovered from his ankle problem to be included in the squad to face Manchester City on Saturday.

Cech did not travel to Istanbul in midweek because of the persistent injury sustained in training.

Frank Lampard has recovered from the stomach bug that kept him sidelined following international duty.
