This is not a game loaded with intrigue, with the Premier League fate of both teams already decided. For Chelsea, the most important aspect is ensuring there are no untimely injuries with less than a week to go before the Champions League final against Bayern Munich. Roberto Di Matteo will select as few first-team dependables as possible. There will be no return for David Luiz or Gary Cahill, who are yet to recover from their hamstring injuries. A sixth-place finish is Chelsea's worst for a decade, but that barely touches the disillusionment at relegated Blackburn. Amy Lawrence
