Tim Cahill and Florent Malouda both make returns to action tonight in the Carling Cup semi at Stamford Bridge. Cahill comes back into the Everton lineup after missing the trip to Boro and the FA Cup tie with Oldham while Chelsea’s Malouda returns from a knee injury after missing two full months of action.
Elsewhere Yakubu and Yobo make their last appearances for Everton before departing for the African Cup of Nations, as does Obi for Chelsea.
I’ll knock up some full scout notes after the game.
