Mark Hughes has suggested that Robinho will have a part to play when Manchester City entertain Chelsea in tomorrow evening's 'clash of the cash'.
The Brazilian star was away on international duty this week, but after returning to train with City for the first time since his record-breaking move, Hughes may consider starting the 24-year-old at Eastlands.
He said on Thursday: "The one impression everyone has of Robinho is that as soon as he gets the ball you sense something is going to happen and I think everyone will see that at the weekend."
Going into tomorrow's games, Robinho is 7/2 with William Hill to outscore fellow debutant Dimitar Berbatov, who is set to make his first appearance for Manchester United when Sir Alex Ferguson's side travel to Liverpool.
Argentinian defender Pablo Zabaleta could also make his debut for City against Chelsea, while Micah Richards is in contention after recovering from a shoulder injury.
Meanwhile, Luiz Felipe Scolari has revealed that long-term absentee Didier Drogba could be in line for a surprise return. The Chelsea hitman is 9/2 with Ladbrokes to open the scoring.
