Chelsea to bench Torres for Man Utd decider

Fernando Torres facing being benched for Chelsea's clash at Manchester United.

The Sun says Torres has been on the fringes of boss Carlo Ancelotti's plans this week as he tried out a 4-3-3 system using Didier Drogba as the main striker.

Drogba was played wide right against Spurs last weekend, with Torres down the middle, but the experiment didn't work.

Torres, who has scored only once since his £50million January move from Liverpool, had been left out of the previous three games, all of which Chelsea won.
