Chelsea will be
without winger Damien Duff who was forced out of the match against
Liverpool at the weekend with a muscle problem after came in as a sub.
Didier Drogba remains unavailable due the African Nations Cup with
Ivory Coast. Right-back Paulo Ferreira is doubtful with a thigh injury
as is Carlton Cole who is struggling with a groin problem.
Everton's goalkeeper Nigel Martyn is still out with a calf injury.
Duncan Ferguson is serving the second of his three-match ban.
1 1/2 ball handicap for a crucial cup
game is too high even for mighty Chelsea at their fortress, Stamford
Bridge. Everton have been playing well lately unbeaten in 9 league and
cup outings are worthy of at least a small punt. They held the would be
champions to a 1-1 league draw in October and almost dumped them out of
this competition when they first met. They took a first half lead before
Chelsea forced a replay with a 73rd minute equalising goal.
