The competition may change, the advertising hoardings spinning to proclaim Champions League or Premier League or Carling Cup, but Chelsea's swashbuckling home form remains a constant. A tenth consecutive win here, achieved gracefully and impressively last night, has propelled Carlo Ancelotti's team into the quarter-finals. This side feels untouchable in these environs. This was a breeze, a much-changed...

I hope you had a good weekend. The high spot for me was Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester United. Liverpool may not have a sufficiently strong squad to win the Premiership this season – they’re dependent on a few star players - but at least they’ve put a dent in the Mancs’ chances. Today I want to prepare for a couple of significant events later in the week. On Tuesday...

For once, United fans were delighted there were no late goals at Old Trafford. After cruising through the opening 60 minutes and creating enough chances to have hit double figures, United ended the match clinging on to a narrow advantage and weathering a barrage of Bolton attacks. The sigh of relief when Mark Clattenburg finally blew for full-time was felt around the ground and followed by a chorus...

Choose 'em: Unless he falls victim to Carlo Ancelotti's mild tinkering habit, Michael Ballack (9.86) looks a great shout for Chelsea. The German costs half as much as Frank Lampard (19.22) but has only slightly fewer points - 53.5 to 67.5 - from the same number of games.
