We want to maintain continuity in the results.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ancelotti also explained how he had plenty of respect for manager Ian Holloway, who has guided Blackpool to 15th in the table this season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s an honest man,&#8221; explained Ancelotti.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve met him just once, when we played at home. I can look at his team and say he&#8217;s a good manager.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This team has a philosophy to play. They are playing good football, they try to play football, so I think he&#8217;s a good manager.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet Chelsea do have injury problems going into the game with their manager revealing that both David Luiz and John Obi Mikel are doubts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Until now, he [David Luiz] has not been able to train,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He [Mikel] had a scan, but everything was okay. I hope, also, that he can train.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yet the Italian had better news regarding long-term injury victims Yossi Benayuon and Alex who are both approaching returns. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Yossi] Benayoun is starting to train outside on the grass, alone, in individual sessions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alex will come back next week and, after that, I think we will check him and take a decision on him then.<\/p>\n<p readability=\"1.5\">&#8220;He&#8217;s very close to recovery.&#8221;<br \/><span readability=\"3\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span>        <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ebb272bf125337_news-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>View original post here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/03\/05\/2380627\/carlo-ancelotti-admits-chelsea-are-wary-of-blackpools-home\" title=\"Carlo Ancelotti admits Chelsea are wary of Blackpool\u2019s home form\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carlo Ancelotti admits Chelsea are wary of Blackpool\u2019s home form<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Gill Clark 5 Mar 2011 15:47:00 Carlo Ancelotti, Chelsea Related Links Teams Players Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has admitted the reigning champions are in for a tough game on Monday night as they head to Bloomfield Road\u00a0 to take on Blackpool .
