Lampard to start for Chelsea

Frank Lampard will start Chelsea’s crunch Barclays Premier League game against Manchester United on Sunday.

Jose Bosingwa, Alex, Yury Zhirkov and Yossi Benayoun remain sidelined.

Provisional squad: Cech, Turnbull, Hilario, Ivanovic, Ferreira, Cole, Terry, Essien, Lampard, Mikel, Ramires, McEachran, Malouda, Kalou, Drogba, Anelka, Bruma, Sturridge, Kakuta, Van Aanholt.
