Andre Villas-Boas has revealed that Daniel Sturridge and Didier Drogba are both fit and available for Chelsea’s trip to West Brom.
Gareth Bale’s hamstring injury isn’t as serious as first feared and will be assessed this weekend by Tottenham, while Kyle Walker looks likely to be available for Harry Redknapp’s side. Spurs’ Sunday showdown counterparts, Manchester United, have a fit-again Wayne Rooney amongst their ranks, but are without Antonio Valencia and Tom Cleverley.
Stephane Sessegnon is reportedly late back from international duty and will be assessed before the North East Derby. Their equals will be able to call upon Papiss Cisse, who missed duty with Senegal in midweek but has since recovered from a groin problem, according to Alan Pardew this afternoon.
