Ranieri plans to spring an early surprise on Hiddink

Ranieri confirmed he will start with Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet up front as he attempts to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg against his former club.

"We need a goal right away," said Ranieri. "We need to play like we know how and score goals.
"Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has had some great results but sooner or later he'll have to lose."
Ranieri believes that the crowd at
the Stadio Olimpico di Torino can make a big difference in helping the Italians to reach the quarter-finals.

"English clubs can struggle on the road," he told BBC Online. "Our fans really need to give us a hand."

Chelsea, who have won all five matches under Hiddink, failed to win away from home in this season's group stage, drawing at Bordeaux and CFR Cluj and losing 3-1 at Roma.

Juventus have not lost their last 13 home matches in the Champions League, recording 10 wins.

However, Juve were eliminated by English clubs in their last two appearances, by Liverpool in 2005 and Arsenal the following season. The 1985 and 1996 champions sat out the last two seasons following the Italian match-fixing scandal.

Michael Ballack believes there is a new resolve about Chelsea under Hiddink that has seen them progress to the semi-finals of the FA Cup at the expense of Coventry on Saturday.

Arsenal or Hull await in the last four and the players will fancy their chances of going all the way now they are looking like their old selves again. Ballack said: "Hiddink is a great
character, he has great charisma and now we have a very good discipline in the team, which
is important if you want to win something.

"That was always there but there is tactical discipline on the pitch and you can see the team has gone back to our old ways.

"He has great experience and has a lot to say. When we are 1-0 down we can bounce back and we still have the power to control a game. We have to look forward from now."

A year ago Chelsea suffered the humiliation of being knocked out by Championship club Barnsley in the quarter-finals, yet there was no danger of a repeat at Coventry.

Many managers would have been tempted to take a gamble and rest key players ahead of the clash against Juventus in the Champions League tomorrow night. Former manager Avram Grant did it to his and the team's cost against Barnsley when Frank Lampard didn't even make the bench.

However, this year Hiddink picked his best team out of the players who were fully fit. The Dutchman was rewarded with a convincing win at the Ricoh Arena and it has also given the squad a perfect boost ahead of their game in Turin.

Ballack added: "It is always important if you win and this gives us confidence for the Champions League. "

Crucially, Didier Drogba, who scored the only goal in the 1-0 victory against Juventus in the first leg of their last-16 tie, showed he is ready to prove as much of a threat in the return match with the opening strike against Coventry.

It was his third goal since Hiddink recalled him to the side, having been made a scapegoat in the latter stages of Scolari's reign. The sight of Michael Essien coming on as a substitute against Coventry in the second half also handed the club a major lift.

They have missed him terribly during the six months he has been out with a knee injury but he has a chance of starting against Ranieri's side.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are looking to sign winger Ricardo Quaresma on a permanent basis from Inter Milan this summer, with Florent Malouda set to be sold to help fund the transfer.

Quaresma joined Chelsea on loan for the rest of the season in January after struggling to settle at the Italian club.
