Rovers 18/1 to take three points away from Stamford Bridge this afternoon

Chelsea host Blackburn Rovers in Saturday's late kick-off with Jose Bosingwa and Yuri Zhirkov (both knee) unlikely to feature.

Carlo Ancelotti will also likely be without Alex and John Obi Mikel with both lacking match fitness.

Ancelotti will have to decide whether Salomon Kalou, who scored twice against Atletico Madrid in midweek, will start alongside either Nicolas Anelka or Didier Drogba in attack.

Blackburn are without striker Franco Di Santo, who is ineligible against his parent club.

Pascal Chimbonda (calf) is unlikely to be passed fit while Vince Grella (thigh) remains sidelined.
