111. FIRST VIEW - Rohaan says: 'Looking at the Chelsea team it is very clear that Rafa Benitez is definitely giving importance to the Sunday game against City. If Chelsea win on Sunday they will be 1 point behind City. It looks like he will field Demba Ba against City, who scored against them this season when he was playing for the Toons.' Cheers Rohaan, he's still got plenty of quality on the pitch tonight to give Sparta a real examination!

112. Fancy a bet? Sky Bet go 30/100 for a Chelsea win, 4/1 for the draw and 9/1 for a Sparta victory. I'm going for a 4-0 Chelsea win, with Moses to score first which pays a handsome 40/1!
