Olympiakos v Chelsea: Live on ITV4 7:45pm
After their FA Cup victory over League One Huddersfield on Saturday, Chelsea face a trip to Athens for the Champions League clash with Greek giants Olympiakos. The Champions League will be the main focus of the Blues this season, after falling behind in the Premiership title race. With John Terry back at the heart of their defence and the threat of Anelka and Drogba up front, Chelsea should have enough quality over the two legs to qualify for the quarter-finals. However, Olympiakos shouldn’t be underestimated, as the likes of Belluschi and Kovacevic will look to take full advantage of their home leg of this tie.
Unsurprisingly, the bookies make Chelsea odds-on to win the game away from home, priced at about 10/11 with most bookmakers including Totesport. Olympiacos are available for 10/3, and they are 11/5 to snatch the draw with Bet 365.
