Chelsea ought to coast through UEFA Champions League Group E after being drawn with FC Schalke 04, FC Basel and Steaua Bucharest.
Chelsea have been handed a very reasonable draw in the UEFA Champions League, and new manager Jose Mourinho will be confident of progression to the knockout stages of the competition.
The Blues are amongst the top seeded teams in the competition, and so were unable to face European giants such as FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Chelsea take on FC Schalke 04, FC Basel and Steaua Bucharest, and can feel quite content that on paper they are a stronger outfit than any of those sides.
In Jose Mourinho they have a manager who has already won the cup with the big ears twice, and the Blues claimed the trophy for themselves in 2012.
