BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Chelsea FC vs Bolton Wanderers vs Chelsea face Bolton at Stamford Bridge with the Carling Cup quarter finals beckoning.Having beaten Queens' Park Rangers 1-0 in the previous round, Chelsea have been paired with Gary Megson's Bolton Wanderers, a side with a record better than most at Stamford Bridge. With thirteen Premier League sides in the final sixteen of the competition, with five top flight versus top flight encounters - including this one - Chelsea will have a great chance to go on and win the competition, as either one of Arsenal and Liverpool, Aston Villa and Sunderland and Tottenham and Everton will be booted from the tournament, giving the Blues a fair chance to go on and claim their first major triumph in February - but that's a long way away; let's beat Bolton first!Match chat here.

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I hope Borini and Sturridge are either played for full game or 45 mins. I mean, it's the CC, i would rather see Borini score a goal in a 2-1 then put a full team out which could tire our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron 30 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hmm Carling Cup. A good chance to rest those who've been in action quite a bit recently - though it's still Bolton and a good side will have to be out.Doubt Borini will start - Kalou and Sturridge are both more deserving, especially the former, althohgh it'd be nice to see him with some action nearer the end of the game.

northernblue 2 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 A good one for Joe Cole to play in as well, regain some more fitness.Here's hoping they all haven't caught swine flu off the Blackburn players!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently 4 players from the Bolton squad have had it.Bolton manager Gary Megson has revealed that members of his own squad have suffered with swine fluSource http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/bolton-confirm-swine-flu-cases-1810188.html Edited October 27, 2009 by Blueray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
