Chelsea thrashed Blackburn 5-0 in October but when the teams met in the Carling Cup, at Ewood Park in December, Rovers won on penalties after a 3-3 draw. Blackburn have lost their last two Premier League games but they have conceded only 12 home goals - fewer than Chelsea and Arsenal.

Both teams are without their first-choice goalkeepers. Petr Cech is still missing for Chelsea while Henrique Hilario is doubtful so Ross Turnbull should continue. Blackburn’s Paul Robinson is out after injuring his hamstring at Spurs so Jason Brown should continue.

Chelsea are also without Joe Cole, Jose Bosingwa and Michael Essien while Blackburn test Vince Grella while Lars Jacobsen and Ryan Nelson are still absent.

Blackburn (4-4-1-1): Brown; Salgado, Samba. Givet, Chimbonda; Emerton, Nzonzi, Pedersen, Olsson; Dunn; Kalinic.

Chelsea (4-3-3): Turnbull; Ivanovic, Alex, terry, Ferreira; Ballack, Mikel, Lampard; Anelka, Drogba, Malouda.

Referee: Steve Bennett.

chelsea to win this, up chelsea

haters are around as usual

lets juts hope our guys turn up 4 d party.

Go for Gold chelsea

chelsea have winning materials but lack the winner instinct,
what some people may call winning mentality.
i hope they win,but i wont be surprised if they drop points yet again

The absence of Ashley Cole, M.Essien and Bosingwa is really limiting our play. Plus we probably should not have sold Gudicini.

Against Inter for example , Carlotti, pulled  our make shift midfielders back  just to cover for the young and relatively inexperience Ross Thurnbull.
Consequently, we did not have a productive midfield to hold and supply passes to DD as often and no wings to distract Maurinho's defence line when He "parked the bus". I guess also Jose's last minute selection confused Carlotti a bit

And oh, Alhaji Anelka did not rise to the occasion (as usual) when it mattered most.

Tomorrow, we should be able break blackburn fighting spirit and win the encounter. It's Chelsea 3- BBR 1 .

Common blues!!
