TONY PULIS made two changes to his starting line-up for Sunday afternoon's live televised clash against title chasers Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Leading goalscorer Ricardo Fuller comes back in at the expense of Turkey captain Tuncay to partner David Kitson in attack, whilst Glenn Whelan also returns to the side to replace Republic of Ireland compatriot Liam Lawrence.
Ryan Shawcross is named in the squad having overcome an ankle injury which has sidelined him since the 3-1 defeat against Arsenal at the Britannia Stadium in February.
The backline consists of Robert Huth, captain Abdoulaye Faye, Danny Higginbotham and Danny Collins, whilst Whelan makes up a midfield quartet that also includes Rory Delap, Dean Whitehead and Matthew Etherington.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancellotti has named an attacking line-up as he looks to elevate his side back into top spot following Manchester United's victory against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.
Ivory Coast hot-shot Didier Drogba is one of three strikers, with Nicholas Anelka and Florent Malouda also lining up alongside him.
Skipper for the day Frank Lampard will start alongside Germany international Michael Ballack at the heart of the side along with Solomon Kalou.
England international Ashley Cole also returns to the side following a long spell on the sidelines, however, captain John Terry misses out as he serves a ban after being dismissed for the Blues last weekend.
