Tottenham's Niko Kranjcar will miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury, but Chelsea left back Ashley Cole is back in Carlo Ancelotti's squad.
Cole, who has been missing through injury since February, will be on the substitutes bench with Yuri Zhirkov the most likely starter at left back for Chelsea.
Still out for the visitors are Ricardo Carvalho, Michael Essien and Jose Bosingwa and none are expected to return before the end of the season.
Ancelotti looks set to recall Deco, Joe Cole and Florent Malouda to the starting line up.
In addition to Krancjar Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is also missing fellow Croatia international Vedrun Corluka, who has an ankle problem.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto or youngster Kyle Walker could deputise at right back.
Peter Crouch could be recalled to the starting line up after being rested for the midweek match against Arsenal.
Winger Aaron Lennon is still not fit and misses out once again.
