Any clues on the possible starting line-up?

Not really. I think he probably knows his team, but he just has a decision to make on whether to go with Kalou or Malouda. He could go either way, depending on how he wants to approach it, but I think he will go for Kalou because he's a slightly more attacking choice.

How did you gauge the mood in the camp?

Avram Grant was very relaxed. He is always relatively relaxed, but he was even more enigmatic than usual given what's at stake - because his job is on the line. As far as the players go, some of them have been here before and that helps. Terry played here for England and Lampard knows the stadium. And they are playing Manchester United so there is nothing to fear from that point of view.

What kind of approach do you think Chelsea will adopt?

I think they need to come out and set the tempo early on, I think they feel they have the edge physically, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them be quite direct and get the ball forward early on.

Did you get the impression the Moscow and Lampard factors would give Chelsea added motivation?

To be honest I don't think either of them will come into it. At the end of the day this is the Champions League final and if you can't get yourself up for that then you are in the wrong profession.

What did you make of the Cole injury, and do you think he will play?

He was involved in a tackle with Claude Makelele and hurt his ankle. He limped off pitch, went back on, came off again and went back on. Now I am watching him train with the rest of the squad so I think he should be OK.
