Fernando Torres could start on bench

Roberto Di Matteo confirms that Fernando Torres could be named on the substitutes' bench for Chelsea's clash with Manchester City tonight.

Roberto Di Matteo has confirmed that Fernando Torres could be named on the substitutes' bench for Chelsea's clash with Manchester City tonight.

Despite bagging a brace at the weekend, his first goals in over 25 hours of play, the Spaniard looks likely to make way for Didier Drogba.

"It's great to have such fantastic firepower available and it hurts to leave out players of this calibre," admitted the Italian.

"It will be tough on whoever is left out but I can only fill 11 positions so I must look at the form of the players and see which team best suits us to win the game."

The Blues go into the match at the Etihad Stadium having won four on the trot.
