Blackburn Rovers vs. Chelsea

Chelsea head to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers as they look to stay top of the Premier League.

The task is not an enviable one, with Chelsea struggling to a 1-0 win in this fixture last season thanks to a Joe Cole stunner. However, with Rovers scoring only three times in five home league matches so far this term, an imperious Chelsea defence - which has conceded just once away from home this season in the league - will look to bounce back from defeat in Rome.

Ewood Park is always a tough place to go, Blackburn like to kick you around abit should be a tough one

1-0

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Blackburn's home record is very poor - played 5, won just one, drew 2 and lost 2 - expect them to give the peformance of their lives

We always win away in the league, so 2-0. Lampard and Drogba.

This is a SS1 game at 1:00 for those who don't know.

Another Chelsea bounce back, please.

[Steve 10,227]

lets bounce back strong

4-0

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Blackburn have McCarthy(ban) and Santa Cruz(major doubt), so they'll have Derbyshire probably upfront on his tod.

We need to bounce back and strongly. Liverpool have a load of piss easy games over the next lot of weeks against the bottom sides in the table and Manu are beginning to get a head of steam up. Dropping points now is not a good idea.

A win of any sort. 3 points is a must.

We have been amazing away from home and against the lesser teams this year, I can imagine another high scoring win.

Blackburn aren't the same team now Ince is in charge, although they used to be really difficult to beat and facing them was always physically challenging, under Ince it's a new story.

Blackburn still have the worst disciplinary record despite the change of manager.

Really, wow. That surprises me tbh.

[Elliott 7]

Not really. Same team isn't it? Same players.

Well yeah but completely different manager. In the later months of Hughes reign Blackburn were far less dirty than in the days when they had Dickov and Savage.

[Drogba11CFC 108]

Another interesting fact is that Chelsea have never been beaten by a team that was reduced to ten men since the Monaco defeat in 2004.
