Chelsea boss Avram Grant will be without grieving Frank Lampard following the death of his mother on Thursday.

Michael Essien, suspended for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Liverpool, returns to the squad.

Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful Nemanja Vidic will be fit to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge as Manchester United look to wrap up a 10th Premier League title.

Only a mathematical improbability will prevent United securing the title should they beat Avram Grant's men and the return of Vidic will be a major boost.

The Serb was rushed to hospital with a stomach complaint on Tuesday and missed the Champions League semi-final with Barcelona but he trained on Friday morning and should be ready for Saturday, with Ferguson promising a 'couple of changes', which could include the return of Ryan Giggs.
