Bolton Wanderers vs Chelsea FC

vs

Chelsea head to the Reebok to face Bolton only days after playing against them in the Carling Cup.

In a fascinating Premier League double-header between the two sides, Carlo Ancelotti's men could resign the Trotters to a fifth League defeat of the campaign as well as knocking them out of the Carling Cup.

Think this could be a narrow win Bolton are weird at times but hopfully we can make it two in a row!

Play like we did Saturday and all be good,play like against Villa be a loong 90 mins

And hopfully can bump up the goal diff.And keep the gap

I hope we get a 0-2 or 0-3 win and say goodbye to our crappy away form for a long time.

I think we'll win, and comfortably at that. Similar performance and result from midweek will do just fine. If Sturridge ends up starting/coming on, then I'm expecting to actually look interested this time around.

Bolton 1-3 Chelsea.

The typical old Chelsea scoreline..... 2-0

Drogba and Essien to score.

I think we can do better than that, 3-0 perhaps. Drogba, Anelka, Lampard to score, not necessarily in that order lol.

Wow , you lot are a bit optimistic, Kevin Davies plays and he is a fucking handful, I would gladly take a 0-1

Well looking at the result on Wednesday why not? OK we won't be playing on home ground but we'll give as good as we can and as I say we have a strong enough team.

Blueray : We haven't been quite the force away from home and Bolton have been hard to beat at the Reebok, I would love us to grab a few there but I think this one will be decided by the odd goal.

I know you're right and looking at the last couple of away games, we definitely shouldn't have lost to Wigan. I think what happened at Aston Villa was sort of expected. We have won other games away (Sunderland, and Stoke). The team will be on a high and so will be motivated to do well on Saturday. It'll just mean that we'll all have to sing louder tomorrow

Yeah, or they'll get complacent and think it'll be easy...

Exactly. Tbh, the way I see it is that every team that we play should be treated with caution. What happened at Wigan will be remembered for a long time to come.

Bit uneasy about this one,mainly cause its away and gana be a differnt Bolton side to the one we played Weds who prob got a bit of a bollocking and wana make up to themselves and the away fans who came down.

But hopfully we can play the same,come out with the same approch and attitude and pass to the right team and focus!! Make ours chances count

I really hope so. I'd hate to see us doing another 'bouncy' season after the last few.

Premier League is their bread and butter and at their home they'll always be strong..

Expect a tough contest..

I assume ballack will be rested after consecutive games but we lost both games away from home when he didn't play..

[Milan 17,859]

This is simply a must-win game. It's extremely important to win before the Manure game. Hope to see the same selection which destroyed Rovers.

[Drogba11CFC 108]

Expected Lineup:

Cech

Belletti

Carvalho

Terry

Ivanovic

Essien

Ballack

Lampard

Joe Cole

Drogba

Anelka

Prediction: Bolton 1-2 Chelsea

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Will be disappointed if Alex doesn't play to null the threat of Davies.
