No changes for Hiddink's last outing

Guus Hiddink named an unchanged side against Blackburn for his last match in charge of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

The Dutchman, set to return to his full-time position with the Russian national team at the end of the season, kept faith with the team which thrashed Arsenal last weekend.

Striker Salomon Kalou, however, failed to make the squad through an ankle injury.

Rovers, now safe from the drop, gave Chile forward Carlos Villanueva a place in the starting XI.

Benni McCarthy dropped to the bench.
