Kakuta to start, Adebayor to behave… hopefully
Big night for the little man on the right
For so long Wenger and Ferguson have been the masterminds behind developing footballers in their infancy, but tonight could see Chelsea moving somewhere closer to inhabiting that bracket.
Apparently they’ve got a few decent kids up their sleeves too, and the whisper from all the most demure Chelsea nail salons is that Gael Kakuta should be a starter for this evening’s game against Blackburn. Or, at least, in the words of Ray Wilkins:
“Gael will be in the squad and we’ll see where we go.”
Meanwhile, over at Eastlands, Adebayor would do well to tone down any celebrations if he manages to throw one past his old team tonight.
According to the Daily Mail, his slight dip in form since he returned from shoeing Van Persie is the result of a somewhat poetic ankle injury. Mark Hughes will be looking for a little more from his striker.
“He was flying at the start of the season and he gave us a trigger. We have to get back to that.”
The highlights from the last Eastlands meeting follow the jump. Short-fused Arsenal fans should probably look away.
