Blackpool vs. Chelsea 20:00 Monday Night Football

Lukker-

vs.

Kick-off: 8PM (Sky Sports 1)

Chelsea should be looking to make up some ground 3 of the top 4 slipped up this weekend. Adam and DJ Campbell are both suspended for Blackpool which is a massive loss. Luiz is a doubt for Chelsea with Alex and Benayoun on the long term injury list. Blackpool have ran hot and cold all season, beating Spurs 3-1 two weeks ago and losing to Wolves 4-0 the following weekend. A complete wildcard.


If Luiz is fit I expect Chelsea to line-up as follows

---

Cech

---

Ivanovic-Luiz-Terry-Cole

Ramires-Essien-Lampard-Malouda

---

Drogba

---

Torres

---

Kalou and Zhirkov will be starting on the wings.

Johner

smuckers

Ivan on bench due to his 8 cards he has I reckon, c'mon chels!

superfrank

Looking forward to seeing Zirkhov...He's a due his chance to impress.

I assumed he was using bosingwa due to the pace of blackpools attack and the fact this game will prob be end to end!

KAMON THE BLUES!

superfrank

David luiz bag a hattrick

Desire to Aspire

Chelsea should walk this. 4-0, I'd say with Torres scoring at least the one.

Have Sky just binned that hi-tec studio they built especially for Monday Night Football this year? Or did they forget to get the keys back off Gray/Keys?

thats a fair swagger, I'd happily take a 1-0 win thats injury free!

Desire to Aspire

Anyone got a decent stream?

Essien

We should win this. Though having said that, we haven't spent a lot of time doing what we should this season.

I'll say 1-3, 2 late ones for us.

amiable

Is it not on Sky?

Thought i saw Merson fukking around with Andy Grays machine on Sky Sports News on Friday evening. Can't be sure though because i never used to watch AG's analysis.

Blackpools bench is 6 forwards and a goalie apparently.

No its not the machine, they built this huge studio akin to ESPNs NFL Monday Night Football studio, seriously hi-tec and its just disappeared from use....

It mightn't come off tonight, but it's massive value for a home side that's shown form against the big clubs.

Without Adam (and to a much lesser extent Campbell) they haven't a prayer. Once Chelsea score its game over - only a matter of how many.

essien doesn't usually stay down too long. hope hes alright

Gonzovision

Balls

Panthro

Ok Torres, between watching Luiz and Terry popping them in, any chance you doing something similar!

Desire to Aspire

It was only a matter of time, watch the goals fly in now.

LuckyGent88

Great save there. This could turn into an absolute rout

Panthro

pretty sure I heard Johner singing "carefreee!" just there.
the pup

BERBA

anyone know what price are blackpool to go down? i think they will.

Panthro

yuri made a boo boo there

Panthro

a kind kiss off the post is exactly what that was.
for all our dominance, we should be more than a goal up.
another chance like that and they will equalise

Sgt Pepper 64

torres really looks like he needs a goal, very nervous
