Chelsea have made six changes for tonight's Premier League match against Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge.

Branislav Ivanovic has returned to the starting lineup having served a suspension, while Ryan Bertrand is also in the back four in place of Ashley Cole.

Meanwhile, Fernando Torres has kept his spot in attack after four goals in his last two games.

Frank Lampard, Juan Mata and Didier Drogba all have to settle with places on the bench as interim coach Roberto Di Matteo tries to keep his squad fresh for Saturday's FA Cup final against Liverpool.

James Perch is the only change for Newcastle as Danny Simpson misses out with an ankle injury.
