**1938: Fulham **make three changes from the team who lost at Birmingham last weekend with Stephen Kelly, Zoltan Gera and Simon Davies left out, and John Pantsil, Damian Duff and Erik Nevland coming in. Their opponents **Blackburn **replace the injured Gael Givet with Lars Jacobsen, while Keith Andrews and Vince Grella are also picked ahead of Brett Emerton and Steven Nzonzi.1935: And **Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti **also ignores talk of a dead rubber: "It is important not only for first place, but because we will play against a strong team. We want to arrive at first place in the group - we want to win, I don’t know any other way."1933: Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson won’t let us down tonight: "We could have a non-event game if we wanted to. But that is not the way we want it to be. We want an exciting game and we will do our best to challenge the young players who do play."From mikeyallen5 on Twitter:](http://twitter.com/mikeyallen5)“Why would Hull drop Bullard A player arguably far too good to be at the club. What do Hull fans make of this”
Surely not dropped Surely just needs a rest after a long lay-off1927: Fulham v Blackburn line-ups:
Fulham: Schwarzer, Pantsil, Hughes, Hangeland, Konchesky, Dempsey, Greening, Baird, Duff, Zamora, Nevland.
Subs: Zuberbuhler, Seol, Gera, Etuhu, Smalling, Davies, Dikgacoi.
Blackburn: Robinson, Jacobsen, Samba, Nelsen, Chimbonda, Andrews, Dunn, Grella, Diouf, Di Santo, Roberts.
Subs: Brown, McCarthy, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Kalinic, Hoilett, Salgado.
Referee: Stuart Attwell (Warwickshire)**1923: Hull City **make three changes from the 3-3 draw with West Ham. Defender Paul McShane, midfielder George Boateng and forward Geovanni come in for Bernard Mendy, Jimmy Bullard and Craig Fagan. **Everton **boss David Moyes brings in midfielder Steven Pienaar, who has been out for two months with a knee injury, and striker Yakubu as Dan Gosling and Marouane Fellaini make way.1921: Big night for Ben Foster, whorecently claimed he was 'disheartened’by a lack of first-team football at Manchester United. Fergie was linked with a move for CSKA’s Igor Akinfeev, but in his programme notes tonight he says: "I told you to watch out for him (Akinfeev) and he was fantastic as I expected. But don’t go rushing to conclusions, we are not trying to sign him."1918: It’s all over in Russia as a Milos Krasic-inspired **CSKA Moscow **beat Wolfsburg 2-1. That means second place in Group B is very much up for grabs going into the final round of matches.BBC Sport’s Phil McNulty at Old Trafford: "Lively at Old Trafford - thanks to a gloriously partisan and noisy group of Besiktas supporters tucked away in a corner. Time for experiments from Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson with a place in the last 16 of the Champions League already sealed. And a great chance for some of Old Trafford’s young brigade to create a good impression. Gabriel Obertan is one who will be under Sir Alex’s microscope and the same applies to Federico Macheda, Danny Welbeck, Rafael da Silva and Darron Gibson. And Ben Foster gets a taste of the first-team action he craves."1915: Hull v Everton line-ups:
Hull: Duke, McShane, Gardner, Zayatte, Dawson, Garcia, Marney, Boateng, Hunt, Geovanni, Altidore.
Subs: Myhill, Barmby, Kilbane, Mouyokolo, Ghilas, Vennegoor of Hesselink, Cairney.

I’m really wondering whether he’ll follow Ronaldo’s path or Nani’s…”**1911: Chelsea **boss Carlo Ancelotti recalls striker Didier Drogba as one of six changes for the Blues’ Champions League Group D clash with Porto following his recovery from a chest injury. Yuri Zhirkov and Michael Ballack are among the other players to come in, with Michael Essien, Joe Cole and Ashley Cole on the bench. Porto leave Brazilian striker Hulk on the bench, while experienced keeper Helton has failed a fitness test on an injured ankle, meaning Beto continues in goal.1910: FC Porto v Chelsea line-ups:

Gabriel Obertan makes his first European start in a youthful but attacking line-up which sees Danny Welbeck and Federico Macheda also feature. Dimitar Berbatov has not made the squad while Ben Foster replaces Edwin van der Sar in goal.1900: Stevo’s Predos (four right results last time, no correct scores - least surprising stat ever):

FC Porto 1-1 Chelsea

It’s 16th v 14th at the KC Stadium as Hull meet Everton, with the Tigers looking to beat the Toffees for the first time since 20 December 1952. These boys have already met once this season, in the Carling Cup, asEverton handed out a 4-0 spanking to a weakened Hull outfit.1853: Milos Krasic has had a stunning game in Moscow tonight and he deservedly puts CSKA ahead against Wolfsburg with a majestic 30-yarder that flies past Diego Benaglio and into the far corner. Glorious.From JamieCutteridge on Twitter:](http://twitter.com/JamieCutteridge)"Come on Stevo, admit it, tonight’s line-up is Jordan compared to last night’s Sam Fox isn’t it"From Paul in Gatley, via text on 81111: "Where’ve you been We’ve been waiting here an hour watching Edin Dzeko, one of the best strikers in Europe."1844: There will be plenty of worse games than CSKA-Wolfsburg tonight, that’s for sure. They’ve both played some wonderful stuff so far in Russia and the hosts have easily deserved the leveller Tomas Necid has just handed them to make it 1-1. Milos Krasic and Alan Dzagoyev have been magnificent for the Moscow team.1842: A little bit like English football at times, we’ve got some technical problems tonight. I’m assured that people are trying their hardest to fix them, but if you haven’t been affected thus far, then let’s carry on as normal.1840: So Juventus, Wolfsburg, Real Madrid and AC Milan can all reach the last 16 tonight. German champions Wolfsburg only need a point at CSKA Moscow and in the match that kicked-off at 1730 GMT, they are currently 1-0 up in Russia thanks to Edin Dzeko’s first-half strike.1837: I’m sure you know as well as I do how to have your say on proceedings:Get the tweets in;](http://twitter.com/Stevo_football)you canjoin the debate on 606;](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A60025213)and get smashing those texts over to 81111. If I told you itwould help England’s until now disastrous 2018 World Cup bidif you did, would you then1833: Oh come on, I was only playing. Anyway, apart from six other Champions League games tonight, there are also two in the Premier League asHull City entertain EvertonandFulham take on Blackburn.1830:Manchester UnitedandChelseamight have already booked their berths in the last 16 of the Champions League, but they still have important business to attend to in the group stage.
