Blackpool-Chelsea Preview

LONDON (SE) - Nicolas Anelka wants to maintain Chelsea’s goal-laden start to the season against Blackpool on Sunday after claiming the Premier League is running scared of the free-scoring Blues.
France striker Anelka has already netted four goals in all football jersey
competitions while Carlo Ancelotti’s side have notched an impressive 21 goals in their opening five games.
Having already hammered six past West Ham and Wigan, Anelka believes the whole of England fear Ancelotti’s troops.
Anelka said: “Teams know goals can come from anywhere, so maybe they will be scared. It is good that goals are coming from all positions.
“We feel we can score against anyone right now. This is a good team. It has a lot of big players and everyone can score.
“We will try to do what we did last year and with the amount of goals, maybe we can go even better because we have started well.”
Anelka believes manager Ancelloti is the sole reason the Blues are doing so well because he has not changed the side that won the Premier League and FA Cup double last season.
Former Arsenal and Liverpool star Anelka, 31, added: “Why are we winning games by so many goals? Maybe because we did not change the team very much in the summer, so everybody knows each other’s game.
“That makes it easier for everybody. We will only know if Indianapolis Colts jersey
we are better this season if we win the Champions League as well as everything else.”
The Blues will be without talismanic midfielder Frank Lampard who is recovering from recent groin surgery.
Blackpool defender Ian Evatt has hit back at Anelka’s boasts.
Ian Holloway’s side were hammered 6-0 at Arsenal last month but centre back Evatt, sent off against the Gunners, said: “I don’t think there is any fear at all.
“The lads are looking forward to going to Stamford Bridge and putting on a better show than we did at Arsenal and hopefully prove a few doubters wrong.
“For whatever reason, myself and the team just didn’t perform that day. It was a bit of an eye-opener. What you find with our group of players is that we might get knocked down but we keep getting back up.
“We don’t know when we’re beaten and if we do get beat we don’t let is affect us.
“We got knocked down at Arsenal quite heavily but we came back with good performances against Fulham and Newcastle. Hopefully against Chelsea we will do the same thing.”
Pool manager Holloway has also heaped praise on striker DJ Campbell, who scored on his debut against Newcastle last weekend.
Campbell, 28, cost Blackpool just one million pounds and Holloway said: “I think that is cheap for a player who will score lots \2013 we created chances for him.
“He could have had a hat-trick at Newcastle, he Dallas Cowboys jersey
looked electric, strong and sharp and he looked like he was home.”
Blackpool defender Alex Baptiste will miss the fixture with a broken hand and goalkeeper Paul Rachubka is out with a knee problem.
