Fernando Torres remains on the bench as Chelsea welcome Wolves to Stamford Bridge.

Fernando Torres misses out once as Andre Villas-Boas selects Didier Drogba as the lone forward as Chelsea host Wolves this afternoon.

David Luiz keeps his place in the team while Oriol Romeu comes into the middle of midfield in place of Frank Lampard.

Wolves give starts to Nenad Milijas and George Elokobi, while Matthew Jarvis also returns following a spell on the substitutes' bench.

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

Wolves: Hennessey; Zubar, Berra, Johnson, Elokobi, Jarvis, Henry, Milijas, Ward, Edwards, Fletcher
Subs: De Vries, Craddock, Ebanks-Blake, Hammill, Doherty, Guedioura, Forde
