Drogba tipped to get nod

Didier Drogba is set to lead the Chelsea attack at the expense of Fernando Torres when the Blues take on Barcelona tonight.

Drogba was forced to miss the 0-0 draw with Arsenal at the weekend with a knee injury and that handed Torres the chance to stake a claim for a starting place at the Nou Camp. However the striker did not take the opportunity and boss Roberto Di Matteo will opt to start Drogba as long as the player does not suffer any setbacks before kick off. Drogba has done some light training and all being well he will take his place in the starting eleven as Chelsea look to hang on to a 1-0 first leg advantage to book their place in the Champions League Final. David Luiz is again set to miss out with a hamstring injury which means Gary Cahill, who impressed in the first leg at Stamford Bridge, will continue alongside John Terry.
