Table-topping Chelsea travel to Ewood Park to take on Blackburn Rovers with a five-point cushion at the top of the Premier League.

Givet is the latest to receive some treatment after a clash with Drogba on halfway, and he limps to his feet.

Phil Jones makes a strong challenge on Mikel in midfield, and that is just what the hosts need.

M Diouf has been absolutely superb, and the midfielder continues to dominate the midfield for Blackburn.

Drogba gets to his feet gingerly, and there is no question of him continuing despite the knock.

The ball is eventually hit out of play to allow Drogba to receive some treatment after a challenge with Nelsen in the air.

STAT: Rovers have only won one of the last 11 matches against Chelsea in all competitions and that was on penalties in last season’s Carling Cup.

What a counter attack from Blackburn, as E Diouf dinks another delightful delivery to the back post, where Jones cannot quite turn the ball home!

Ivanovic wins a corner for Chelsea after a sweeping move from the visitors, and this presents a good opportunity to hit back.

Cole is given a stern ticking off by Peter Walton for protesting after Emerton fouls Malouda, and Chelsea are very frustrated.

GOAL!!!! BENJANI PUTS BLACKBURN AHEAD! Chelsea fail to clear the ball from inside their box, and Diouf dinks over a pinpoint cross from the edge of the penalty area which Benjani nods past Cech into the near corner of the net!

Samba causes havoc in the Chelsea box with his physical presence, but Ivanovic finally clears.

Zhirkov makes a pretty nasty challenge on Salgado, and the Russian is very fortunate to not be booked for that.

Ashley Cole attempts a very ambitious long ball to Drogba which is hopelessly overhit, and the forward cannot latch on to it.

Finally, Chelsea get back on the ball as Zhirkov finds Drogba, who is dispossessed by Samba.

Chelsea have gone 301 minutes without conceding a Premier League goal, but Carlo Ancelotti is looking on anxiously as his side look suddenly quite apprehensive at the back.

Bejani races clear once more with the Chelsea defence all over the place, and Cech is forced to make another fine save to deny the forward!

What drama! M Diouf attempts an innocuous looking dink from 25 yards, but Cech slips and only just manages to tip the ball behind for a corner - a great save in the end!

FACT: Nicolas Anelka has scored 10 goals in 14 Premier League appearances against Blackburn, more than against any other side. Didier Drogba has scored five goals in six Premier League appearances against Blackburn.

M Diouf forces his way down the left superbly, but Terry comes across and makes a fine challenge.

Salgado whips over a devilish delivery from the right which is fractionally too deep for M Diouf at the back post!

Zhirkov continues to find himself in the thick of the action as the Russian gets down the left and drills a low cross into the box, but to no avail.
