Blackburn Rovers v Chelsea: Squad sheets

Ewood Park plays host to two sides experiencing very different problems. Blackburn's home games this season have been notable for poor performances on the pitch and vocal protests off it, even if there have been some signs of improvement in their past two outings. Chelsea have been uncharacteristically flimsy as the investigation into their captain John Terry plays out in the media. Terry is nonetheless expected to start against Rovers after watching the 1-1 draw with Genk from the substitutes' bench.
