Joe Cole is unfit so Salomon Kalou comes in on the right of the midfield.
There is no Didier Drogba so Franco Di Santo is the central striker on the bench. Mineiro is also among the subs.
Blackburn make changes with Morten Gamst Pedersen coming into the side. The Norwegian will be up against José Bosingwa, the Chelsea defender having expressed his admiration for his opponent earlier in the season.
Carlos Villanueva is also added to midfield and Zurab Khizanishvili is a change in defence.

i agree. if only robinho has joined chelsea instead.as usual malouda sucks. chelsea's attack broke down many time when it reached malouda.
i hope chelsea replace him.

1st goal was LOL. Robinson should have saved it even if he thought it was an offside.
EPL players should learn to play by the whistle. -
