Chelsea were shocked at the weekend by Aston Villa and the defeat has blown title race wide open with rivals City, Arsenal and Liverpool winning their respective games.
Blues will look to bounce back in the champions league in midweek when they face Galatsaray in the second leg at Stamford Bridge.
At home, surely Chelsea will hold stronger cards and with an away goal already in the bag, Mourinho’s men should be considered favorites.
However, the return of Didier Drogba is going to be intriguing. He used to score for fun in the ground and it will come as no surprise if he scores again.
Chelsea’s defense main task is to stop their legendary striker from scoring against them.
As far as the team news is concerned, Eto’o and Lampard are expected to return to the starting XI after not starting against Villa. Schurrle may come in as well.
Willian and Ramires are suspended for the next PL game versus Arsenal but should be starting in the UCL.
Here is Chelsea’s probable XI vs Galatsaray.
