Huth replaces Jonson for Chelsea

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has elected to replace Glen Johnson with Bayern Munich transfer target Robert Huth.

Otherwise it is the same side which destroyed the Germans in the opening leg of this Champions League quarter-final.

Eidur Gudjohnsen and Didier Drogba lead the attack in the Olympic Stadium, with John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho in the centre of the defence. William Gallas once again takes responsibility for the left-back position.

Bayern, as expected, recall Martin Demichelis in midfield. He missed the first leg at Stamford Bridge suspension.

Fit-again strikers Roy Makaay and Claudio Pizarro have the task of overhauling Chelsea’s 4-2 lead.

Bayern Munich: Kahn, Sagnol, Lucio, Kovac, Lizarazu, Schweinsteiger, Demichelis, Ballack, Ze Roberto, Pizarro, Makaay.

Subs: Rensing, Scholl, Frings, Jeremies, Salihamidzic, Deisler, Guerrero.

Chelsea: Cech, Ricardo Carvalho, Huth, Terry, Gallas, Cole, Makelele, Lampard, Duff, Drogba, Gudjohnsen.

Subs: Cudicini, Johnson, Smertin, Geremi, Forssell, Tiago, Nuno Morais.

Referee: Manuel Enrique Mejuto Gonzalez (Spain).
