Chelsea v Blackburn preview
Chelsea head into their final home game of the season against Blackburn still harbouring hopes of claiming second place in the Premier League.
Visitors Rovers go into the weekend needing one more point to be certain of playing top-flight football again next season, although their top-flight status could be assured by kick-off, depending on Saturday's results.
The match will mark Guus Hiddink's Stamford Bridge farewell if, as expected, he ends his spell with the West London club to return to his duties as manager of Russia.
Hiddink's contract after replacing Luiz Felipe Scolari only took him until the end of the season and despite pleas from many members of his squad to stay on, the Dutchman appears destined to depart.
Chelsea currently trail second-placed Liverpool by three points, but with two games of the season remaining there is still time for them to overhaul the Anfield outfit.
Rovers boss Sam Allardyce, brought to the club to stave off the threat of relegation which was looming large under Paul Ince, is confident he has already achieved his brief for the season.
The Ewood Park outfit have struggled on the road recently, losing four games in succession conceding 12 goals and scoring just one, and are up against a Chelsea side brimming with attacking talent who scored four against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium last weekend.
Team newsHiddink could be tempted to stick with an unchanged starting XI from the victory over the Gunners.
Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka have impressed up front together after the coach switched to a 4-4-2 formation, but the Ivory Coast international's future remains the subject of speculation.
Salomon Kalou is likely to be ruled out after the Ivorian forward hurt his ankle in a friendly with Manchester City in midweek. Michael Ballack and Juliano Belletti are also doubtful as they are suffering from flu.
Allardyce may also go with the players on duty for Blackburn's last match, a 2-0 home success over Portsmouth which took them to 40 points, although defender Andre Ooijer is available again after a hamstring injury.
Injured striker Roque Santa Cruz remains on the sidelines but has again hinted that he will be looking to move away from Ewood Park in the summer.
With the Paraguay international and Jason Roberts both ruled out, defender Chris Samba may partner Benni McCarthy up front, or could drop back into defence with the South African playing as a lone frontman.
Possible starting XIs
Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Alex, Terry, A Cole, Essien, Mikel, Lampard, Malouda, Drogba, Anelka.
Blackburn: Robinson, Andrews, Nelsen, Givet, Warnock, Diouf, Grella, Tugay, Pedersen, Samba, McCarthy.
