On his 60th birthday (happy birthday boss!), Felipe Scolari
makes one change to the team that started in Rome.
Joe Cole is unfit so Salomon Kalou comes in on the right of the
midfield.
There is no Didier Drogba so Franco Di Santo is the central
striker on the bench. Mineiro is also among the subs.
Blackburn make changes with Morten Gamst Pedersen coming into
the side. The Norwegian will be up against José Bosingwa, the
Chelsea defender having expressed his admiration for his opponent
earlier in the season.
Carlos Villanueva is also added to midfield and Zurab
Khizanishvili is a change in defence.
Roque Santa Cruz remains out injured and Benni McCarthy is
suspended so Jason Roberts is the lone striker.
