William Gallas is Chelsea's main doubt for Sunday's Carling Cup final against Liverpool, but Damien Duff and Didier Drogba have been passed fit and will start up front alongside either Joe Cole or Eidur Gudjohnsen.
If Gallas passes a late fitness test on a groin injury, Mourinho will keep faith with the same defence but, if not, Glen Johnson looks set to replace him, with Paulo Ferreira shifting to left-back.
Tiago could be rested, with Jiri Jarosik among the contenders to replace the midfielder, Petr Cech will start in goal with Carlo Cudicini suspended, while Wayne Bridge, Scott Parker, Robert Huth and Arjen Robben are out injured.
Liverpool will have captain Steven Gerrard back from his midweek European suspension.
Also available again are Fernando Morientes and Mauricio Pellegrino, who were cup-tied for the Champions League victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
But boss Rafael Benitez thinks it is unlikely another Spanish import, Josemi, will have recovered in time from the groin injury which has ruled him out since mid-December.
Xabi Alonso, Djibril Cisse and Florent Sinama-Pongolle are all long-term injury victims.
