Chelsea boss Ancelotti willing to give failed Torres-Drogba pairing a second chance against Tottenham tonight <table style="width: 107px; height: 42px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="107" align="left" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/apr/Carlo.jpg" border="0" /></td></tr> <tr> <td> Carlo Ancelotti</td></tr></tbody></table>Carlo Ancelotti yesterday denied it would be a gamble to pair Fernando Torres and Didier Drogba in Chelsea's must-win Premier League game against Tottenhamu00a0 today. Blues boss Ancelotti has spent this week attempting to devise a way of getting both of his star strikers into his starting line-up, despite their failure to forge an understanding since Torres' ufffd50million transfer from Liverpool. The duo have started just three of 14 possible matches and Ancelotti appeared to abandon their partnership earlier this month when he reverted from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 formation, a move which has coincided with Chelsea rediscovering their best form and has been backed by more than one player. The champions need to beat Spurs to keep alive their slim hopes of retaining the title and Ancelotti was adamant it was worth trying to get Torres working with Drogba after watching the Spain star finally end his long goal drought against West Ham on Saturday. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/apr/Chelsea1.jpg" border="5" /> Chelsea players Fernando Torres (right) and Didier Drogba.

If you are able to do this, I think it is good for the team, to get good results."Obviously, today it's too early to take a decision about this because we have another training session tomorrow."But I think it will not be a surprise if they can start on Saturday together," he said.
