It’s the second-leg of the Champions League last-16 tie between Chelsea and Galatasaray with things level at 1-1 after the first-leg in Turkey.
Much is being made of the fact that Gala striker Didier Drogba will be returning to Stamford Bridge for the first time since leaving the club in 2012 – after helping the Blues win this tournament with a winning penalty against Bayern Munich in the shootout.
Drogba spent eight years with the west London side and won 10 major trophies with the club and is certain to be given a warm reception by the home support.
It will also be the first time manager Roberto Mancini has returned to England since being replaced as Manchester City boss by Manuel Pellegrini last summer.
However, it’s the hosts that are the favourites with an away goal in the tie and leading the Premier League title race currently – although they did lose to Aston Villa at the weekend.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last 12 although are five points behind rivals Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super League currently.
Mourinho’s men also have the second best defensive record in this year’s tournament behind Atletico Madrid, having only conceded four times.
Gala on the other hand have the worst of the teams that made the last-16, having already shipped out 15 goals in the competition.
