Steve Bruce's side will have a herculean task of beating a rejuvenated Roberto Di Matteo side that have lost one of their last five matches in all competitions.

Didier Drogba is expected to return to the starting line up after sitting on the bench in his team's 1-0 win over Benfica last Tuesday.
At the Loftus Road, QPR will welcome Arsenal in their quest to survive relegation. Mark Hughes' men were beaten 3-1 by Sunderland last weekend in a game where Djibril Cisse was given a red card. Arsenal are seeking for their eight straight win in the league. Robin Van Persie remains the top scorer of the season with 26 goals.
