Chelsea were taken down from the leader`s position but this weekend they have a nice opportunity to reclaim the first place as Man Utd are travelling for a tight game at Anfield.

Chelsea already showed great mentality twice this season – first when they lost to Wigan (3 – 1) and managed to bounce back beating Liverpool (2 – 0); last round they lost to Aston Villa (2 – 1) and they again managed to bounce back in the midweek hammering Atl Madrid (4 – 0) in the Champions League. Generally, Chelsea are a nice and stable team until now and it seems that Ancelotti is influencing well the team for now. It is true that it seems they will need to work on their away form but their home record is 100% now with 10 scored and only 1 conceded.

Blackburn seem to be one team when they are playing at home and when they are playing away. At home they are confident but they seem to struggle when playing away – until now they have lost all of their away games with 11 goals conceded. The defense played really bad and they were really shaky last round as Arsenal managed to score whole 6 goals.

It seems that Ancelotti has rebild the Anelka-Drogba duo again and they are quite productive. With Drogba back in the squad this will be a huge boost for the team. Chelsea are playing really well at home and I am sure that they won`t miss the 3 points here as Blackburn are performing horribly as visitors. I can see a home with with a few goals difference.

Probable line-ups

Chelsea – Cech – Ivanovic, Terry, Carvalho, Cole – Lampard, Essien, Malouda, Deco – Drogba, Anelka

Blackburn – Robinson – Jacobsen, Samba, Nelsen, Chimbonda – Nzonzi, Andrews, Diouf, Dunn, Pedersen – Roberts
