Squad sheets: Blackpool v Chelsea

The win over Manchester United in midweek has just about kept Chelsea in the title race, but Carlo Ancelotti knows his team can ill afford any more slip-ups. Fernando Torres will be hoping the most porous defence in the league allows him to open his account for the Blues. Blackpool have been in free-fall of late, having picked up only seven points in their last 11 games, and with two of their most influential players, Charlie Adam and DJ Campbell, missing through suspension Chelsea will expect to collect three points at Bloomfield Road.
