Chelsea and grant got the Monkey off their back last weekend by winning an important game and in particular coming from behind in the second half. What this season has showed once again is that the teams with the best and biggest squads come to the top just like cream, it rises to the top. Anelka has yet to blossom at the Bridge but he made a difference last weekend when brought on as a sub. We saw in midweek what a handful he is and was responsible for the victory over England.

Having a player like him on the bench makes a huge difference and £30 million pound buy Shevchenko does not even get a look in these days. Middlesbrough are an 11/1 chance to cause an upset which seems unlikely and the draw would be the best they could hope for at 4/1. We expect everything at the top of the table to remain the same after this weekend's set of matches.
