Terry dislocated his left elbow in the 1-1 draw with Bolton on Sunday while Drogba picked up a knock to his knee in the same game.

Grant echoed his star forward in issuing a healthy prognosis for next Wednesday's clash against United, saying: "We need to wait for training on Wednesday but John Terry I think will be okay. With Didier Drogba, I don't how serious it is but I think he will do everything possible to play in this game."

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson claims his side have the advantage for the first all-English final after pipping Chelsea to the Barclays Premier League title at the weekend.

But Grant feels the sides go into the match on an equal footing.

"I don't think any team has the advantage," he continued. "We've played two times against them this season, we won two weeks ago and we lost at Old Trafford in my first game.

"The referee gave a red card, penalty and a goal - nothing was the right decision. I don't think they are better than us and in these games anything is possible."
