Burnley lost their third successive game under new boss Brian Laws .The three games Burnley played under new boss Brian Laws have shown that The Clarets owe the impressive start to the season solely to Owen Coyle, former manager who is now with bolton.Clarke Carlisle returned into action after recovering from injury and he will keep his place in the side, while Andre Bikey is back from Africa Cup of Nations. However, very important midfielders Graham Alexander and Chris McCann picked up knocks in the Bolton game and the odds are they will miss the Chelsea encounter, with little or no strong options, this players will be sorely missed


Chelsea produced a brilliant performance against until then unbeaten Birmingham,Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou have returned from Angola, which basically means Drogba will be in the starting line-up, with either Ballack or Malouda dropping to the bench. Cashley Cole came through the Birmingham game unscathed and he will keep his place, while Deco will continue as a holding midfielder in the absence of better options.Midfielder Michael Essien is out with a knee injury along with Juliano Belletti but coach Carlo Ancelotti has no fresh injury worries.Chelsea go into the game one point clear of United with a game in hand.

Malouda cannot be dropped on the bench after consecutive spectacular performances
Deco might be dropped with Ballack going deep into midfield.
if Drogba plays, Anelka and Malouda might be asked to flank him.

oh . . .and Malouda's present form is shittin' on Joe Cole's too.

an easy win for Chelsea . . .with full firepower available.

Neither Drogba nor kalou will play, or even travel. But that changes nothing. I expect us to hit burnley for four.

What the heck is Carlo thinking, starting JT, the least he can do as a manager is bench him for a couple of games, that will give him enough time to

get his mind right

Would you ask your colleague at work to go home becos he slept his best friend's wife.
Work is work. As long as his concentration is now affected, game on.

I didn't really get that formation.
We have Ashley, Malouda and Zhirkov on the pitch all at the same time.

Wetin do Alex?

Eagles former united winger,wonder why baba sell the guy

Lamps!

Why not? It's not like he was taking drugs or mudered someone.

Carlo did the right thing cuz right now the dude needs something to get his mind off the allegations.

These guys came to play. Though they haven't tested our goal, they certainly are not push-overs.
WE need a goal from somewhere to calm things for now.

If this colleague in question was your line/team manager, would he command your respect after such incident

a responsible worker must remain professional at all times especially when you are the captain of your country

and club and on top of that a public figure.

The fact still remains dude's action is inexcusable no matter what angle judge it from, after the Tiger woods incident, you expect

athletes to be wiser.

Now you are asking a totally different question. I have not said he should not be dropped as captain. Neither have I said what he's done should command respect. But should he come to work? Dam right he should. Every other thing may be true. Dropping him for two games like you said, I can't understand that.

Wasn't this incident before the TW story? . Even if it was not, I guess damage is already done and there is nothing we can do.
By the way, It sure ain't affecting his performance.

Ashley Cole - Best damn left back. Period!

OMO IBO:

Aswerigad, Anelka is in great form.

Anelka is on fire,
But wey my baby, DROG?

The African players are being rested.

Nothing to worry about.

Carlotti has shipped him off to Ile Agbara. . .
When he comes back, Fadeyi and Abija combined will have nothing on him. . Honestly!
