Crespo set to return

Chelsea striker Hernan Crespo has recovered from a virus and is likely to replace Adrian Mutu for tomorrow’s Barclaycard Premiership clash with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

Mutu has suffered a 12-game drought, paving the way for either Crespo or Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to make their return – while goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini is back after shaking off his groin strain.
