Forgetting their off the field issues, this still has the potential to be a great season for Chelsea as they bid to retain their Champions League crown. A run of 6 straight Wins has helped to steady the ship and they will fancy their chances against a Madrid team who were readily swept aside by Barcelona before the International break. Carlo Ancelotti has his own issues to resolve with this Madrid side, but they do come alive in this competition, as they showed when dumping out PSG in the last round. A high scoring, entertaining game looks very likely.
