Chelsea vs. Bolton: Game Thread

Chelsea (4-3-3): Cech; Cole, Terry, Ivanovic, Bosingwa; Essien, Lampard, Ramires; Malouda, Drogba, Anelka.

Subs: Turnbull, Ferreira, Kalou, Van Aanholt, Bruma, Kakuta, McEachran.

Bolton (4-4-2): Jaaskelainen; Robinson, Knight, Cahill, Ricketts; Taylor, Muamba, Holden, Moreno; Davies, Elmander.

Subs: Bogdan, Petrov, Mark Davies, Klasnic, Blake, Alonso.

Ramires starts in place of John Obi Mikel, who had been substituted at half time two matches in a row and apparently has found his way into Carlo Ancelotti's doghouse. Mikel isn't even on the bench, so maybe he's been nursing an injury, which would go a long way towards explaining the oh my god why are you suddenly awfulness.

WIN. PLEASE WIN FOR THE LOVE OF MANKIND I WILL GIVE YOU ALL PUPPIES* IF YOU WIN.
