Blackburn R. face a trip to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 27 and win only 12 of the 52 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2009, with Chelsea annihilating their visitors 5 - 0 in a Premier League match.
