Ince's respect for Chelsea

Blackburn boss Paul Ince has praised Chelsea prior to their Premiership match this weekend. Ince believes that the way Chelsea grind out results is awesome; however Chelsea have lost a couple of important games in the last couple of weeks.

Ince said: "They are absolutely awesome. Under Mourinho they were a fantastic outfit, one of the best, but had a lot of 1-0 results and based their game on defensive play.

"Now they play more expansive and attractive football and they are a joy to watch.

"It always was Manchester United and Arsenal you enjoyed watching because of the way they played and now you can add Chelsea to that.

"Some of their play has been absolutely delightful.

"Chelsea are starting to play with that arrogance that Manchester United and Arsenal have and that makes them very dangerous. We always knew they were solid and now under Scolari their football is different class."
