[Teams] Chelsea vs Bolton: Confirmed Line-ups From The Bridge

Chelsea entertain Bolton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge this afternoon and we have the confirmed teams for you.

Andre Villas-Boas is desperate to get his side back to winning ways after a five-match winless run has left the Londoners outside the top four and facing an uphill battle to progress in the Champions League.

Frank Lampard returns to the starting eleven as captain after being benched for the midweek defeat to Napoli. Ashley Cole and Michael Essien also return.

Didier Drogba keeps his place up front with Fernando Torres once again among the subs. Here are the confirmed teams:

Chelsea Team

Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill, Cole; Ramires, Essien, Lampard; Sturridge, Drogba, Mata.

SUBS: Turnbull, Bertrand, Mikel, Meireles, Malouda, Kalou, Torres.
