Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech faces being dropped with Thibaut Courtois again fully fit.

Cech has played in every Capital One Cup game so far in his club's run to tonight's semi-final first leg.

The Daily Express says Courtois was told when he rejoined Chelsea in the summer after a three-year spell on loan at Atletico Madrid that he would play in the all the big games this season.

And having almost fully recovered from the fractured thumb which has kept him out since New Year's Day, Courtois is expected to return to action tonight.
