Fernando Torres will not start against his former club Liverpool this afternoon as Andre Villas-Boas selects Didier Drogba ahead of the Spaniard.

Fernando Torres has been left on the bench for his former club Liverpool's visit to Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

Torres has scored more goals for Liverpool (4 in 16) than Chelsea (3 in 22) in this calendar year despite his January transfer to the Bridge.
