Wouldn't have a clue who to place my bets on, but should be a good game.

Match Live, 19:45, ITV1, Sky Sports 2

Should be a cracker, Mourinho to finally get his revenge on Pep.

Think Bayern might edge this.

 

[Secret_Window]

Should be a good one. I'm interested to see what line-up and formation Guardiola uses as he seems to be implementing a 4-1-4-1/4-3-3 system at the moment.

I can't see it being a bore fest like the game last night. BM are far better attacking team than UTD. Chelsea looked weak in the midfield last night.

 

[NeedAUsername]

BM to walk all over Chelsea.

 

[G-MAN2004]

Wouldn't have a clue who to place my bets on, but should be a good game.

After that United game performance, I'll give my congrats to Bayern.

Looking at the UEFA site this appears to be the Chelsea squad:

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech, Mark Schwarzer, Jamal Blackman

Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, Branislav Ivanovic, Ashley Cole, Ryan Bertrand, Gary Cahill, John Terry, David Luiz

Midfielders: Michael Essien, Frank Lampard, Ramires, Oscar, Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, Marco van Ginkel, John Obi Mikel

Forwards: Fernando Torres, Romelu Lukaku, Andre Schurrle, Juan Mata, Demba Ba

Moses is not on the list.

Not surprising now we've got Willian, someone had to make way & I guess it had to be him.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

Replace Torres with anyone competent and their squad looks frightening.

Why don't Ba or Lukaku get some time on the pitch? Torres has had so many chances yet they just seem to get overlooked. Ba and Lukaku up front at the same time would be frightening and trouble even the strongest of CB's.

Well he is on the 26 player squad published by Chelsea today:

Cech, Schwarzer, Hilario, Blackman, Ivanovic, Cole, David Luiz, Michael Essien, Ramires, Lampard, Torres, Mata, Oscar, Mikel, Moses, Schurrle, De Bruyne, Van Ginkel, Hazard, Lukaku, Ba, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Kalas, Bertrand.

David Luiz and Tomas Kalas, who have not played this season due to injury are included. Willian is not included.

[Adam_101]

Do Hope Bayern win.....only cause I'm a Gunner. . But logically think Chelsea will do it.

 

[Cosimo]

Enjoy mate, hopefully Bayern give you lot a tanking

I will and no chance. Off at first light and in Prague before lunch. Not flying back until Saturday evening so we'll have plenty of time to enjoy the sights as well as the match. Can't wait to get there!
