Chelsea V Blackpool - (SS1 KO 4.00pm)

Johner

V

Chelsea's Frank Lampard has not recovered fully from his hernia surgery and will play no part on Sunday.

Didier Drogba and Ashley Cole will return after missing Wednesday's match with MSK Zilina.

Blackpool could keep faith with the side that impressively beat Newcastle last Saturday.

Dekel Keinan will be available to play as Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, is on Saturday, and Keith Southern is pushing for a start.

4-0 Chelsea.

a Bollox ... anyway , focusing on this match - i feel quite confident which could be a bad sign :P ...

If Blackpool win this, it's pretty much one of the biggest shocks in Premier League history!

is that in reference to the goal he just scored ?

I ask because it seems to be there a while, so my stream is waaaay behind !

I never thought I'd say this with a premiership game on but Im switchin over to the amateur football. This is too one sided.

That's how titles are won. They certainly don't look any weaker than last year when they won the title and I think their rivals do.
