JT To Play Against Ipswich

John Terry should be fit to play in this weekend's FA Cup tie with Ipswich despite suffering a back injury on Saturday.
The skipper was forced to withdraw from the Blues side to face Stoke on Saturday after feeling discomfort in his back in the warm-up, which led to Alex partnering Ricardo Carvalho in the centre of defence. But the England star insists the problem is not serious and he will be available for selection when Ipswich travel to Stamford Bridge for Saturday's fourth round tie.
More importantly from Chelsea's perspective, Terry will be fit to face Middlesbrough on January 28 and then title rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday February 1.
On the title battle, the 27-year-old said: "We haven't been playing well enough to win the Premier League. As a group of players we've not been good enough of late. Results haven't been good enough home or away.
"We've got to, and can, put together a string of results from now to the end of the season, but we'll need to win at Liverpool."
