COME ON CHELSEA

What do Alex, Torres, Bosingwa, Drogba and Turnbull all have in common? Yes correct!! They have all received red cards this season and Chelsea have had three players sent-off in the last two games. Can we, the paying public really expect today's game to end 11 v 11, especially as our opponents have been struggling this season and are fighting to get their way back into the top spots of the League?

Two high-profile London derbies in the space of six days, with a two hour midweek victorious cup-tie sandwiched in between, hardly ideal preparation.

But the squad is big enough and strong enough to cope and you can expect a completely different starting line-up from Wednesday night.

Available for selection will be 'One England Captain' John Terry, AvB confirming that JT is in the right frame of mind, despite the allegations surrounding him, from last week's game at HaHaHaHa Road.

Super Frank returns as does Ashley Cole.

Jose Bosingwa has served his one-match ban and Torres has completed his three-match ban.

Ramires is back in the squad after injuring his knee against Everton, Didier Drogba however, will not be able to face his 'favourite' team as he will be serving the 2nd game of his three match ban for his unprofessional and irresponsible tackle at HaHaHa Road last Sunday.

Whether the game ends 11 v 11 remains to be seen but you can expect under AvBs style of coaching another ninety minutes of 'heart attack' football.

Oh and one more thing..... A clean sheet would be nice?!?!

Yesterday, the FA fined Chelsea £20,000 for failing to control players following Bosingwa's sending off at HaHaHaHa Road last weekend and Richard King, CPO Chair, resigned his position following the SAY NO CPO vote, which Chelsea Football Club failed to secure 75% of the Yes vote.
