Bolton 0-4 Chelsea

[Shane 2,275]

I want Ramires to score. :eyebrows:

I'd take a goal off the forth officials arse if it meant we won

[Grandmaster 2]

Would hope we would be too strong for Bolton but we will need to battle as ever at the Reebok

The fact its on a Monday will mean we know how the other games have gone, could be good or bad depending on results

Prediction 0-2 Anelka

[5354 204]

I hope we can have 2-3 changes though.

Drop Drogba for Sturridge. (Bad form of Drogba)

Drop Malouda for Kalou. (Resting Malouda)

And maybe McEachran can start instead of Essien but sub off at 60 or 70. (Resting Essien)

I'd be damn happy if we won this one...

Damn I can't actually believe that I hoped to win against Bolton instead of just saying "We'll win"

God I miss those days...

[LDN Blue 7,903]

A Lampard double would be nostalgic

[Term-X 7,891]

8pm kick off...

I suppose it gives these already exhausted players some extra hours rest.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I really hope he will start instead of Essien... But I don't know why, I think CA will bench Ramires (if he starts Mikel)...

Well the reason he used Essien instead of McEachran last time was because he felt Blackburn were a physical side. Bolton are definitely not. I'll be very surprised if he chooses Essien over Ramires (whatever the outcome, at least we'll have a strong-ish bench!)

Cech

Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - Cole

Mikel/McEachran

Ramires - Lampard

Anelka - Sturridge - Malouda

I'd like to see, but it'll probably be;

Cech

Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - Cole

Mikel

Essien - Lampard

Anelka - Drogba - Malouda

The last time we met them on Stamford Bridge it was a hard game.We scored the goal and we were barely the better side in the game.Bolton has been on fire this season,they usually struggle to keep safe from relegation in the top division but this season they are heading for the Euro spots.This away trip is much harder than anyone thinks,i hope we can perform well and get vital 3 points.

C'mon you blue boys!

7 wins at the Rebbok, very impressive and don't see why we shouldn't make it 8. Think Anelka will score against his former club.

Why? Reebok is a very very tough place to go, Owen Coyle has got Bolton playing superb and we haven't been in the best form of late.

Neither has Bolton. They have won 1, drawn 1, and lost 4 in their last 6 prem games. I don't think this game will be easy, but Bolton is nowhere near the form that saw them put Spurs and the Geordies to the sword in a space of a couple weeks.

If Anelka scores for the third game in a row, I'll honestly be delighted. Whilst the Drog gets back to full fitness it is pivotal we have either Anelka or Lampard (and seeing as though he is injured...) scoring goals for us.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Lamps is okay to play

[Steve 10,227]

Live Press Conference about to start - Here

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Terry and Lampard likely to miss out.

[Kostas 1,468]

Malouda @ LCM and Ferreira @ CB?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Probably. Although I imagine Mikel will come in and Essien moved one forward.
