News is coming through that the following players WILL NOT take part against Blackburn tonight;
Terry
Carvalho
Alex
A.Cole
Lampard
Essien
Obviously this is with the weekend's fixture against Man City away in mind, and of course the recent injuries to key players - but the above represent a big chunk of quality from the squad.
The further news is Ancelotti looks set to add to the impressive list of youth who have at least made the bench in his tenure to date, with midfield Josh McEachran travelling with the senior squad.
Considering Borini, Kakuta, Matic, Hutchinson and Bruma have all made appearances under the Italian we are putting on a 'Youngster Special' for tonights prediction competition. Any correctly predicted 'youth goal' so one of the above, will get DOUBLE POINTS for that goal.
Get predicting!
