Petr Cech




After two defeats and three penalty misses inside four days last week, it was somewhat predictable the focus would be on certain individuals.



Cech was blamed for allowing Carlos Tevez to score Manchester City's winner from a 25-yard free-kick in the Premier League on Saturday. Lampard was then guilty of his first penalty miss since September 2006 when Shay Given saved his 83rd-minute attempt.

But both Lampard and Cech are likely to figure in today's encounter at Stamford Bridge, and Ancelotti declared he has no concerns about either player's form. "This season, I think Cech did very well," said Ancelotti. "He could have done better with the free-kick though. But Even a good goalkeeper can make a mistake sometimes but this season Petr has been doing very well.
