Lampard back for the Blues

Chelsea have been boosted by a fully fit Frank Lampard ahead of their title clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Lampard has recovered from a thigh injury sustained on England duty but despite flying to Serbia for placenta treatment, Chelsea have confirmed the midfielder only underwent standard massage therapy.

Jose Bosingwa (knee) remains sidelined for the Blues but Michael Essien has shaken off a knee injury to be included in the squad.

Provisional squad: Cech, Hilario, Turnbull, Ivanovic, A Cole, Zhirkov, Carvalho, Terry, Alex, Essien, Lampard, Belletti, Mikel, Ballack, Malouda, Kakuta, Deco, J Cole, Kalou, Anelka, Drogba.
