Team News
Chelsea
FC Basel 1893
- Jose Mourinho has a fully fit team at the moment but Michael Essien was not included in the Portuguese's 23-man Champions League squad.
- Willian, who wasn't among the substitutes at Everton, could be in contention to make his Blues debut in midweek, with Schürrle likely to drop out of the starting XI.
- There could also be a return for Fernando Torres in place of Eto'o, while Lampard and Oscar are also likely to come back into the line-up.
- Ramires will miss out through suspension having been sent off in the Super Cup so Mikel and Van Ginkel are in competition to start.
- Centre-backs Ivan Ivanov and Arlind Atelji are in competition to partner Schär at the back but with the latter starting in a much changed line-up in the cup at the weekend the more experienced Bulgarian should be favoured.
- Veteran forward Marco Streller should start up front supported by either Stocker or Delgado in the number 10 role.
- The side have a number of promising young players including Sommer, Schär, Frei and Salah so Chelsea know that this will be no pushover.
thats not the end of the world but mourinho needs to improve the efficiency somehow
I could not believe my eyes..
Congrats Basel. adio09x, you're an idiot. Look at the stats especially the Action Zones, the only bus in this game was parked in visitors end.
Overrated one who mastered the art of gimmick to cover his impotence at madrid Harsh but true fact pagan worshippers..
Mourinho is stupid.. De Bruyne should have started the match
GOOD JOB BASEL! fuck mourinho's buss.
Fuck Chelsea!
krilosmrti, it's UCL not Europa bud and the only ones with no chance are Basel of making it out of the first half alive!
2-0 for Chelsea !
3-0
Under 2.5 goals I say
no chance for chelsea to win at least not easy. 1:1 or not goal at all. Special One need time to settle things for Europa games. basel will defend and defend hard so if chelsea fail to score early, in first 10 min, they not gone score all game
Chelsea win.
