Kompany (toe) may be fit in time for next week's UEFA Cup second leg against Aalborg but De Jong joins Craig Bellamy on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Manager Mark Hughes may opt to keep the side that beat Aalborg last night, as Shaun Wright-Phillips and Wayne Bridge both return to Stamford Bridge for the first time since joining City.

Team (from): Given, Hart, Schmeichel, Richards, Onuoha, Dunne, Bridge, Garrido, Zabaleta, Wright-Phillips, Elano, Caicedo, Ireland, Fernandes, Vassell, Weiss, Robinho, Evans, Bojinov, Logan, Berti.
