Analysis:Chelsea after their sensational win over Liverpool in the Champions League returns to the Premiership eager to get the win over Bolton and make a push for the title.
Their 3-1 win over Liverpool in midweek came as a shock to many and this win will no doubt lift their spirits high for this clash with Bolton currently in 12th spot. They will be confident of the win here considering that they are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with today's opponents managing seven wins and three draws in the process.
Bolton meanwhile will aim to pull off a shock here in the hope of finishing in the top half of the Premiership. They are eight points above the relegation zone so they will be confident that they can stay in the Premiership for another season.
They have kept only one clean sheet in their last 19 Premier League games but will be optimistic as they have taken a point from each of their last two visits to Stamford Bridge. Kevin Davies have scored six goals in his last nine appearances so he is the man to watch for the visitors here.
With regards to the team news, The Blues will welcome back Ricardo Carvalho after he came on as a substitute in midweek. Jose Bosingwa also could start after recovering from a hamstring injury while Branislav Ivanovic will keep his place at left back after scoring against Liverpool in the Champions League.
The only two players out are Joe Cole and Paulo Ferreira who are out on long term injuries.
As for Bolton,manager Gary Megson has no injuries to contend with and will likely start with an unchanged side. He is still missing the duo of Mark Davies and Joey O'Brien who plays in midfield due to injuries. Danny Shittu and Gary Cahill will start in defence as they go into this match on a high after the big 4-1 win over Middlesbrough last weekend.
