Blackburn vs Chelsea - Football - England - Carling Cup - Tip Preview

Chelsea travel to Ewood Park as Sam Allardyce will be again missing from the dugout as his side look to avoid another defeat in his absence.

Chelsea are looking for silverware in whatever way, shape or form that it can appear and when you boast a squad like Chelsea who have 2+ quality players for every position, you should be aiming to win everything in sight.

Lot of first team regulars will get a run out today seeing as Manchester City will also field a stronger squad against Arsenal in search of a win to progress to the semi-finals of this competition.

Kalou, Deco, Ballack, Joe Cole, Malouda, Hilario, Belletti, Ferreira, Kakuta are the kind of players that Chelsea are likely to field tonight, and that is no mean feat.

Chelsea will want to wrap up this tie before half time to secure passage to the next round, and this should be an easy victory for the London club.
