Chelsea v Liverpool preview

Team news ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final between Chelsea at Liverpool at Wembley (kick-off 5.15pm).

Chelsea will still be without David Luiz and Gary Cahill.

The centre-backs are still missing with hamstring injuries, with caretaker manager Roberto Di Matteo hopeful they could return to full training next week.

Di Matteo has no further injury concerns for the Wembley showpiece, but must decide whether to recall Didier Drogba to the starting line-up at the expense of Fernando Torres.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish will bring back his experienced players.

Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Jose Reina, Craig Bellamy and Daniel Agger were all rested for the midweek defeat to Fulham.

Striker Andy Carroll is pushing to retain his starting place while Dalglish has to make a decision over which two centre-backs he picks, unless Agger replaces Jose Enrique on the left as he did in the semi-final.

Chelsea (from): Cech, Ivanovic, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Terry, Cole, Bertrand, Mikel, Essien, Meireles, Lampard, Ramires, Mata, Malouda, Drogba, Torres, Sturridge, Kalou, Turnbull.

Liverpool (from): Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Spearing, Gerrard, Downing, Bellamy, Carroll, Suarez, Doni, Kelly, Coates, Flanagan, Robinson, Enrique, Henderson, Rodriguez, Shelvey, Kuyt.
