Lampard, Torres start for Chelsea

Frank Lampard and Fernando Torres have been named in Chelsea's starting lineup for tonight's Capital One Cup quarter-final against Leeds United.

Blues interim coach Rafael Benitez has gone with a strong side for the match at Elland Road, with Petr Cech, David Luiz and Juan Mata also featuring.

However, Gary Cahill misses out through suspension after being sent off during Sunday's defeat to Corinthians in the final of the World Club Cup.

Meanwhile, Luciano Becchio and El-Hadji Diouf are paired up front for the hosts.

Leeds: Ashdown; Byram, Lees, Pearce, Peltier; Tonge, Green, Brown, Thomas, Becchio, Diouf Subs: Kenny, Varney, White, Norris, Gray, Somma, McCormack

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Luiz, Azpilicueta, Bertrand; Oscar, Marin, Lampard, Moses; Mata, Torres Subs: Turnbull, Cole, Hazard, Ferreira, Piazon, Saville, Ake
