Cech boost for Chelsea

As Chelsea continue their pursuit of Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka, there could be a welcome boost for manager Avram Grant at the other end of the pitch with the return of goalkeeper Petr Cech for Saturday’s showdown against Tottenham.

Grant is in need of reinforcements in attack given Ivory Coast duo Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou are on international duty at the African Nations’ Cup, and Andriy Shevchenko is still sidelined with a leg injury.
