Watch Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea live stream in the EPL with online TV and radio stations. This match will start on Monday, 7th March 2011 (7/3/2011) at 19:45 UK at Bloomfield Road. Blackpool are in dire form ahead of the Blackpool vs Chelsea live stream with just one win in their last six matches. Led by manager Ian Holloway and midfielder Charlie Adam, the newly promoted side has provided plenty of thrills and spills for fans and neutrals, even beating top rated teams like Spurs and Liverpool. However, those results will count for nothing if they fail to win enough points to stay up at the end of the season. Losing to Wolves last weekend was bad enough, but no one in Seasiders’ colours would have been proud of the 4-0 reverse. While it could be said that striker DJ Campbell was sent off and the team missed the leadership of Adam, Holloway is aware that excuses cannot be made. Blackpool players will have to stand up for themselves if they hope to avoid a quick return to the Championship.
The last time both teams met before this Blackpool vs Chelsea live stream online was in September last year. Then, Chelsea crushed the Tangerines with ease in a lop-sided first half that saw Salomon Kalou and Didier Drogba scoring one each, with Florent Malouda bagging a brace. It brought Blackpool back down to earth, but could also have been the beginning of the end for Chelsea’s defence of their title. The following week, the Blues lost their unbeaten record at Eastlands as they went down 1-0 to Manchester City. It eventually began the rot as Carlo Ancelotti’s side lost their way for the rest of the season until now. A Champions League stroll against Copenhagen recently was followed quickly by a battling win over Manchester United, but it remains to be seen if Chelsea have truly turned the corner. A result at Bloomfield Road is a must and Ancelotti admitted nerves will play a major part in the end result.
Without Adam anchoring their side in the Blackpool vs Chelsea live streaming online tv radio broadcast could leave even more gaps in the hosts’ defence – one which cannot hide the fact that they have the worst defensive record in the top-flight, as they have conceded 55 goals to date – more than any other club in the Premier League. By comparison, Chelsea are still rock solid at the back with just 23 goals conceded. However, their fragile confidence will give Holloway’s players plenty of opportunities although the arrival of Brazilian defender David Luiz appears to have shored up the cracks that had started to appear. The former Benfica lynchpin’s budding partnership with John Terry will be crucial in shaping the rest of the Blues’ season. One question remains though and that is if Didier Drogba will start ahead of Fernando Torres for Chelsea, or could Ancelotti attempt to pair the two up again. The first time the Italian tried that was against Liverpool. The experiment failed miserably as Torres did not make an impact against his former club and that led to Drogba warming the bench for subsequent games.
