Smithies: Back in action

The former England Under-21 international goalkeeper, sidelined since March last year due to a knee injury which has required two operations, is scheduled to play another full 90 minutes after suffering no ill-effects from last week's comeback match.

Strikers Lee Novak and Alan Lee, midfield trio Damien Johnson, Anton Robinson and Joey Gudjonsson and defenders Nathan and Tom Clarke, Antony Kay and Calum Woods will all appear in the same development side as they too aim to stake their claims for recalls to Lee Clark's starting line-up.

bsolutely delighted for Chelsea, what a story. Particularly happy for Drogba to (possibly) sign off a career on such a high note. Wonder how the spurs fans are feeling tonight.

eah yeah, whatever fatty. Keep trying to talk down a competition you'll never play in. I bet you'll get relegated next season and claim the 38th game is more important than the CL final too.
