[Gibbo]

Tuesday:

CSKA Moskva Vs Real Madrid
Napoli Vs Chelsea

Wednesday:

Marseille Vs Inter Milan
FC Basel Vs Bayern Munich

Apparently Terry is missing for Chelsea tonight, hard game for them in Napoli, fully expect Cavani, Lavezzi and Hamsik to cause them some problems.

With Villas Boas' head on the chopping block does anyone else think he will on gardening leave come tomorrow if he loses this?

Hate the new CL match format too.

[Gibbo]

Everyone is super interested

There is a takeaway called Napoli round the corner from me, but all the blokes that work there are Turkish and support Fenerbache.

True story.

[Gingawaria]

Can't see Chelsea getting anything tonight to be honest.

[Craig_H]

Very tricky game for them at the moment.

[Bender]

so are 5 a side games

Draw at best imo.

Dont rate Napoli but Chelsea would probably make hard work of Luton Town at the moment. Not to bothered if they win mind, they'll still sulk in League and domestic cup games and they dont have a hope in hell of winning this if they get through anyway.

[Gibbo]

I think Chelsea might nick it, I think Drogba will get the goal and Torres will be sat sulking on the bench.

I want Chelsea to win, but like 1-0 or something so they still have to focus on the second leg that will disrupt their league form further.

Then get dumped out in the next round. Though I did say the same thing about Arsenal and look what happened there.

Could be bull****. Funny though.

The Italian media is claiming Andre Villas-Boas left his team-sheet in a Naples hotel - revealing he is set to leave Didier Drogba AND Fernando Torres on the bench.

Someone within the hotel took photographs of his notes and passed the images to Italian media, and it looks as though his starting line-up will be Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Essien, Meireles, Ramires, Lampard; Sturridge, Mata.

The authenticity of the leak is not known but, according to La Gazzetta, Napoli's coach is already planning to counter the reported selection.
