Chelsea looks to Terry on D-Day

Chelsea need talisman John Terry back for what could be a title-deciding clash at Liverpool today, Coach Carlo Ancelotti said.

Despite the Premier League leaders thrashing Stoke City 7-0 last weekend while their captain was suspended for being sent off in his side’s 2-1 defeat at Tottenham, the Italian made clear that Terry would slot straight back in.

With two games remaining, and Chelsea just a point ahead of Manchester United, Ancelotti shrugged off the pressure and said he had no qualms about changing a winning team against a Liverpool side chasing fourth place and the final Champions League qualifying slot.

“If we win two games, we will be champions,” he said matter-of-factly.

“John Terry will play because we need to have his character and personality in this game.

“All the players are fit and are able to play. It is difficult to change a team that played very well against Stoke but Terry needs to play.”
