Squad sheets: Chelsea v Blackpool

Chelsea have scored 17 goals in four league games this season and that has been against teams trying to defend. Blackpool, in contrast, have shown a surprising commitment to attack on their Premier League debut and it will be fascinating to see if they repeat that against the champions. Last month's 6-0 thrashing at Arsenal may persuade Ian Holloway, the Blackpool manager, to be cautious but either way it is hard not to see the hosts, rampant in Europe as well as at home, winning a sixth straight game in handsome style.
