Chelsea make four changes for Napoli

Chelsea interim manager Roberto Di Matteo has made four changes to the side that beat Stoke City for tonight's Champions League last-16 second leg tie against Napoli.

The Blues go into the match at Stamford Bridge looking to overturn a 3-1 deficit from the first leg in Italy.

David Luiz, Michael Essien, Juan Mata and Daniel Sturridge have all been named in the starting lineup.

Gary Cahill, Jon Obi Mikel and Salomon Kalou have all been left out, while Raul Meireles misses out through suspension. Fernando Torres starts on the bench.

Napoli welcome back Edinson Cavani after the striker was left out for Friday's 6-3 win over Cagliari.

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Essien, Lampard, Ramires, Sturridge, Mata; Drogba Subs: Turnbull, Bosingwa, Cahill, Mikel, Malouda, Kalou, Torres

Napoli: De Sanctis; Campagnaro, Cannavaro, Aronica, Maggio; Zuniga, Inler, Gargano, Hamsik; Lavezzi, Cavani Subs: Rosati, Dossena, Vargas, Dzemaili, Fernandez, Pandev, Britos
