The Dutchman has missed nearly four weeks with a calf injury , but Joe Cole misses the crunch game with an knee injury.
It means Jose can, if he wishes, play two widemen, Robben on the left and Shaun Wright-Phillips (SWP) on the right.
With Claude Makelele back, Michael Essien could be given the right midfield berth at the expense of SWP.
Or Mourinho could see the match as too soon for Robben and we could see SWP start on the left.
Either way Cech is a sure bet in goal as is three of the back four. Richardo Carvalho and JT in the centre with Kharlid Boulahrouz at right back.
The choice of Wayne Bridge or Ashley Cole will provoke a story whoever is chosen.
Sheva and Drogs will play up front with Lamps and Ballack providing the midfield guile.
C'mon the Blues.
