Can Chelsea end the barren run?

Chelsea enter the must-win game against Blackburn on the back of the 7:0 FA Cup victory over Ipswich, but it is their Premier League campaign that is hurting at the moment.

The Blues desperately need a win to keep their title race alive and the good thing is Carlo Ancelotti has no fresh injury concerns at the moment.

Nicolas Anelka could be restored to the starting line-up, while Daniel Sturridge is pushing for a starting place following a good performance against Ipswich.

Blackburn climbed to 10th place as they hammered Liverpool some ten days ago, meaning the Rovers enter this clash without any pressure.

They should have keeper Paul Robinson back from a calf injury, while Nikola Kalinic returns following a three-match ban.

Paddy Power sees Chelsea as hot favourites here, offering 1.30 (3/10) on home win. Draw pays 5.00 (4/1), with the price on Blackburn 11.00 (10/1).
