Andre Villas-Boas could make changes to his Chelsea team for the visit of Premier League opponents Bolton Wanderers this Saturday.

Chelsea will be desperate for victory at Stamford Bridge against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday following their disappointing result in Italy during the week.

Andre Villas-Boas came under criticism in the selection of his team that lost 3-1 to Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday.

While rumours of unrest within the Blues squad continue, the Portuguese coach could make some changes for the Premier League clash.

Jose Bosingwa suffered a hamstring injury in Naples which is likely to pave way for Ashley Cole, while Frank Lampard could also return to the starting lineup following his controversial dismissal from the side in midweek.

Due to Didier Drogba's return from the Africa Cup of Nations, the Ivorian striker could get the nod over Fernando Torres. Skipper John Terry remains sidelined with a knee injury, which is due to keep him ruled out for six weeks.

Meanwhile, Owen Coyle is likely to travel to London with David N'Gog as a lone striker, with Chris Eagles and Martin Petrov providing service from the wide areas.

Mark Davies and Nigel Reo-Coker should hold the midfield for Bolton, who could move out of the relegation zone with a win at Stamford Bridge.

Current form:

Chelsea: WDDLDL
Bolton: WWDLLW

Possible lineups:

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Luiz, Cole; Ramires, Meireles, Lampard, Mata; Drogba, Sturridge

Bolton: Bogdan; Mears, Wheater, Knight, Robinson; Muamba, Reo-Coker, Davies, Eagles, Petrov; N'Gog

Sports Mole says: 2-0
