Galatasaray are likely to be without Aurelien Chedjou as the Cameroonian defender has missed Gala's past four games with a groin injury. However, the Turkish club are boosted by the return of Aydin Yilmaz and Gokhan Zan. Didier Drogba and Wesley Sneijder both enjoyed great success under Jose Mourinho and will be looking to get one over their former boss.

January signings Nemanja Matic and Mohamed Salah are cup-tied, having played earlier in the competition.
