Striker options for Ranieri

Claudio Ranieri must decide whether to keep faith with Gianfranco Zola up front for Chelsea's game against Manchester United.

Eidur Gudjohnsen was overlooked from the starting line-up for the win at Charlton due to a lack of match-sharpness but came on as a substitute, as did Carlton Cole.

Graeme Le Saux missed out after a bout of tendinitis but has now returned to training, while Mario Melchiot will also be looking to return after Albert Ferrer was preferred at right-back due to his higher fitness level.

John Terry and Mikael Forssell are still out injured, while Emmanuel Petit and Marcel Desailly both played for France in a midweek friendly.

Provisional squad: Cudicini, de Goey, Bosnich, Ferrer, Melchiot, Desailly, Gallas, Babayaro, Le Saux, Petit, Lampard, Gronkjaer, Zenden, Morris, de Lucas, Stanic, Keenan, Hasselbaink, Zola, Gudjohnsen, Cole.
