Nicolas Anelka, Ramires and Jose Bosingwa returned to the Chelsea starting XI for tonight’s Barclays Premier League clash with Bolton.

The trio replaced Salomon Kalou, John Obi Mikel and Paulo Ferreira as manager Carlo Ancelotti sought the formula that would end the champions’ worst top-flight run for 11 years.

Bolton handed a full Premier League debut to summer signing Rodrigo Moreno and also recalled Sam Ricketts as they looked for a shock win to take them above their fifth-placed opponents.

Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Essien, Lampard, Anelka, Drogba, Malouda. Subs: Turnbull, Ferreira, Kalou, Van Aanholt, Bruma, Kakuta, McEachran.

Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Ricketts, Cahill, Knight, Robinson, Moreno, Holden, Muamba, Taylor, Kevin Davies, Elmander. Subs: Bogdan, Petrov, Mark Davies, Klasnic, Blake, Alonso.

Referee: Mike Jones (Cheshire)
