Big guns come back for Chelsea

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho turned to his big guns once again as he attempted to establish a 16-point Premiership lead over second-placed Manchester United.

Only three of the men who started last weekend’s 2-1 FA Cup third round victory over Huddersfield were retained with Petr Cech, Asier Del Horno, John Terry, William Gallas, Claude Makelele, Frank Lampard, Arjen Robben and Hernan Crespo earning recalls.
