Chelsea striker Fernando Torres faces a make or break chance against Everton.

The Birmingham City FA Cup tie could see the return of Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou from African Nations Cup duty.

The Ivory Coast have reached the semi-finals of the competition, which are being played on Wednesday, meaning they will be involved in either Sunday's final or Saturday's third-placed play-off.

It also means Torres is almost certain to keep his place against Everton, but with Drogba in fine goalscoring form out in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, it could be the goal-shy Spaniard's last start for a while if his scoreless run extends to 19 games this weekend.
