Didier Drogba misses out altogether for Chelsea while Fernando Torres will lead the line at Molineux this afternoon.

Didier Drogba has been left out of the Chelsea squad for today's trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Ivory Coast international's place has been taken by Fernando Torres, who will be supported by Juan Mata and Frank Lampard.

Emmanuel Frimpong will make his Wolves debut following his loan move from Arsenal.

However, there is no place for the in-form Steven Fletcher up front.

Wolves: Hennessey; Stearman, Johnson, Berra, Ward; Hammill, Henry, Frimpong, Forde, Edwards; Doyle.

Chelsea: Cech; Bosingwa, Terry, Luiz, Cole; Romeu, Ramires, Meireles, Lampard; Mata, Torres.
