Blackburn come into this game with the news that one of their star strikers Matt Jansen, has amazingly been loaned to Coventry City until the rest of the season. This is a big blow. Although they are 11th in the Premier League, Blackburn have a terrible away record, which reads as played 13, won three, drawn five and lost five. Their recent away form, however, is awful. In their last six away games they have only taken three points out of a possible eighteen.

Chelsea, sitting fourth in the league, are playing extremely well at the moment and have won four out of their last six home games. I feel the odds offered on a Chelsea home win are quite attractive at 1.6. Chelsea are playing well, with strikers Zola, Hasselbaink and Gudjonsen linking well and scoring goals, while Blackburn are on a bad run are will have their confidence dented with the loss of Jansen. Take a Chelsea home win.

BETTING TIP:Chelsea @ 1.6
