Stuart Holden and Bolton have a chance to move past Chelsea in the English Premier league standings with a win against the struggling blues today at Stamford Bridge (2:30pm, Fox Soccer Channel)
Chelsea is coming off a lethargic loss to Arsenal on Monday, while Bolton is fresh off a 2-0 win against West Bromwich Albion. Chelsea needs at least a draw to hold on to fifth place in the Premier League, but will be seeking a win to move ahead of Tottenham into fourth place.

Enjoy the action
I really do enjoy watching Stu play. Good game, I hope they can find a way to get a point here. They deserve it.
Strong performance Stu!
Holden taken off. Must be exhausted. Been the one with the best chances for Bolton.
Wilshere makes the most of a headbutt, which just sounds weird, but it’s still a red
damn, another excellent shot by holden. beautiful header… good save by Cech though
and now a make believe foul. The EPL at the beginning of the year should just save us time by putting Chelsea and Man U in the top 4. The officials end up doing it anyways.
Lampard almost hit the upper deck with that free kick.
Typical officiating for Chelsea. No offsides called and no handball!
Clear handball on a fantastic shot by Holden. Home cooking there.
And there’s a blatant handball on Terry not called in the box.
clear handball… damn!
ohhhh man great shot by holden, denied by a defender’s arm… no call….. oh man! great move by holden
damn. Great pass by Holden and what a great chance skied over the bar.
good chance helped out by Holden…. terrible finish by ricketts
That was a great moment to be an American
Goal! Goal! USA! Certainly through!
Scratch that. Drogba was a foot offside.
Crap. Goal Chelsea.
Offside!
thanks for the heads up, that was fantastic
Goal Chelsea 1-0
Its over USA advance first in their group, 10 man Algeria going home
Goal USA it’s incredible. Donavan with the finish.
go go usa! oh it’s incredible!
you know the ref going to screw us some how (despite that it is a recording)
Drogba hits the post. Ouch-Chelsea has no luck.
Wow on that goal kick.
Sports moment of the year in my opinion.
i forgot how well Jozy played.
Not on my service. I need to see if Verizon has it in HD. Seeing the “watch the beautiful game in high definition commercials” is aggravating to say the least.
fingers crossed… we can do this
Announcer on FSC:
“Chelsea underperforming yet again” Viva Bolton!
Watching USA Algeria on ESPN Classic, 30 minutes left
Thanks god. But if Arsenal drops points to Wigan, I’m going to ban my head on my desk until I bleed…
Ives, can you do something so that Holden scores
regards,
GSS
Arshavin with a great goal for Arsenal!
What a goal by Arshavin.
Bolton’s the better team here at the moment.
Great touch by Holden to start that break — picked the ball out of the air and delivered a neat, one-timed pass thru traffic to Elmander — nearly produced a goal. Great skill. When he gets a real feel for the net, he’s gonna be unstoppable.
arsenal down 1-0. Arsenal look like Wigan and wigan look like arsenal.
Arsenal with the “we finally won a big game” hangover – down 1-0 to Wigan.
That’s part of it — that, some injuries to the back line, and the fact that this team isn’t as deep as Chelsea teams of recent past.
Very quiet game from Holden so far. His only touch was a handball.
Don’t know if they mentioned it — I missed the start of the game — but Tamir Cohen is probably unavailable. Funeral today for his father — who was the first Israeli to play in England’s top flight.
Drogba got malaria and Lampard got hurt.
So……did he?
Can someone who follows chelsea closely and is smarter than me, fully explain how Chelsea turned from unbeatable lock for league Champions to mediocre team? Coaching? injuries? bad luck? It pleases, me, I would simply like to know how this happens.
Looking like this will be a nice match-up today. Chelsea with the possession so far, but not really threatening.
Did Santa deliver FSC in HD for my Comcast service?!?
A hat trick from Elmander is all that will save my EPL fantasy team so GO BOLTON!
