Firstly, if we do not win this, the victory against United counts for nothing. It is a tricky place to go, they had a good lead over Man Utd but threw it away and kept Spurs at bay. Really depends what Blackpool turn up, the one vs Wolves or the one vs Spurs Luiz has a hamstring injury, and I really don't think we should risk him, as sh!t as Bosingwa is, he should be able to do the job. Alex will be back next week and Benayoun will be back next month, in time for Stoke. My team: Cech Bosingwa Ivanovic Terry Cole Ramires Essien Lampard Zhirkov ---Drogba-Torres Likely lineup Cech Ivanovic Luiz Terry Cole Ramires Essien Lampard Malouda ----Drogba/Anelka-Torres Prediction Blackpool 0-4 Chelsea Just for the laughs, I hope the first part is true though. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11668_6798128,00.html
Teams: Chelsea Bosingwa Luiz Terry Cole Ramires Essien Lampard Zhirkov ----Drogba Torres Blackpool Eardley Baptiste Evatt Crainey Puncheon Vaughan Soutern Carney Reid Beattie Luiz starts despite a hamstring injury and Ivanovic is on the bench for some reason. Bosingwa should be able to do it it though. He's not that bad. Zhirkov starts in place for Malouda which I expected Come on Chelsea.
Not back in the race yet but if we can get past city in 2 weeks we then have pretty good run of 5 or so games. At the end of that who knows. Whoever wins it this year will be the worst team to do so for a long time.
