Chelsea coach Avram Grant must decide whether to recall midfielder Frank Lampard and striker Didier Drogba against Derby County in the Barclays Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

Both missed the shock FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Barnsley on Saturday but Lampard should have recovered from his slight thigh strain to be included.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech is still sidelined with an ankle injury so Carlo Cudicini is expected to continue as number one.

Derby manager Paul Jewell could hand a recall to skipper Robbie Savage.

The Welsh midfielder was dropped for the 0-0 draw with Sunderland but may earn a recall to the Rams midfield.

Dean Leacock could return to the side after a hip problem but Giles Barnes has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Forward Craig Fagan has joined former club Hull City on loan until the end of the season and Claude Davis and Tyrone Mears are long-term absentees.
