Chelsea fans will once again be disappointed with the news that Frank Lampard’s return to action will be further delayed, with Jose Bosingwa becoming the latest casualty to join the midfielder on the sidelines.

Yury Zhirkov, Alex and long term absentee Yossi Benayoun remain unavailable, but Ashley Cole is fit after recovering from a minor ankle injury.

Who do you think the starting XI should be on Sunday against Tottenham and what are your score predictions?

Chelsea’s provisional squad: Cech, Turnbull, Hilario, Ivanovic, Ferreira, Cole, Terry, Essien, Mikel, Ramires, McEachran, Malouda, Kalou, Drogba, Anelka, Bruma, Sturridge, Kakuta, Van Aanholt

My major concern about Sunday’s game is that Paulo Ferreira is likely to line up against Gareth Bale. We all know how that turned out last time, but can only hope that the Portuguese fullback doesn’t get quite so badly turned over this time around.

However, Chelsea may be confident in exploiting a Tottenham backline which leaks goals and is missing the likes of Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate.

    Guess we can be lucky Tottenham are missing VDV too. But I predict goals start coming at both ends.
