Chelsea take on Bolton Wanderers in the Capital One Cup third round tie tonight and are will be lining up against a history maker in the Trotters ranks.
On-loan Cardiff City forward Joe Mason became the first player to score a hat-trick in Bolton colours for four years last week.
The 23-year-old banged in three goals 24 second-half minutes to give Wanderers to their first Championship win of the season against Rotherham.
It has won him plenty of plaudits from the Bolton faithful, including Bolton News reporter Neil Bonnar, who has picked him out as one of three players for the Blues to watch.
He said: “Joe Mason is on loan from Cardiff and became the first player to score a hat-trick for Bolton for 12 years in the past week. He’s bang in form and is making a real impression on the Wanderers fans.
“Craig Davies is a bustling striker. He has stormed back to form this season and has been a bit of a surprise package. He really gets about and can cause lots of problems so Chelsea need to watch him.
“Jermaine Beckford is the man for the big occasion. He’s been around the block, got the experience of playing in the big games and is probably the name people will look out for in the attack.”
Chelsea have won their last nine matches against Bolton in all competitions.
