The Black Cats were soundly beaten by Chelsea despite taking an 18th minute lead thanks to a goal from Darren Bent. Three second-half goals from Chelsea by Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard and Deco put paid to any hopes entertained by Sunderland fans on Tuesday night.

Manager Steve Bruce admitted his side were second best, but added that any team would have struggled against Chelsea that night. Bruce will hope to erase memories of that loss with a good outing against Blackburn on Saturday.

Steed Malbranque and Kieran Richardson are doubtful starters for this game with ankle and leg issues respectively.

Meanwhile Blackburn began this season's campaign on a disastrous note losing 0-2 to Manchester City at home last weekend. Goals from Emmaneul Adebayor and Stephen Ireland consigned them to a defeat and told manager Sam Allardyce that they have lots of hard work ahead of them this season.

Allardyce will be grateful that his side did not have a mid-week fixture and will hope the rest does wonders to his side's morale. Ryan Nelsen is expected to be fit for this game, while Vince Grella may not feature due to lack of match fitness.
