After an emphatic win at Anfield, Jose Mourinho will be looking to round the week in style by qualifying for his and Chelsea’s third Champions League final.
Blues hold stronger cards after the first leg that ended 0-0 at the Vicente Calderon.
From the last two games, it is evident that scoring against Chelsea will be really hard that too at the Bridge. Can Atletico find a way, we shall see.
Chelsea will be without six first team players including 4 that started the first leg in Spain. The Sextet that will be out of the crucial Champions league game are as follows.
- Lampard – Suspended
- Mikel – Suspended
- Eto’o – Knee Injury
- Cech – Shoulder Injury
- Terry – Ankle Injury
- Hazard – Calf Injury
Hazard might just be available for the game but still doubtful. Even if he is fit, it is likely that the Belgian international will start from the bench.
Here is Chelsea’s probable starting XI vs Atletico.

Chelsea have a difficult match to play for the Madrid based football club would come all out to have early goal. They would perfect their scoring instinct, after was
ting so many scoring opportunities in the first leg. The bad news is that Terry might not be available for the march to provide the much needed strenght at the back.
I see Atletico de Madrid. Facing Bayern Munich in the final.
Chelsea win 2-1 to qualify for the final against Madrid as I havefeelings they will succeed Bayern Munich tonight …. My greatestest fear is Madrid vs Chelsea….. Up blues
Chelsea will seal qualification. If Athletico were to qualify, they would have defeated Chelsea in 1st leg. Up Blues, up Super Eagles.
I jus hope and pray Chelsea wl qualify fo the final here….we need to attck so early and get early goals this wil make athletico uncomfortable we also have to defend well cos f they score we are n troubles..all we need is a win….crunch time fo chelsea play bad but win
Chelsea have disapproved its critics many times and even today it will be same by defeating the atletico Madrid..
