CHELSEA play host to French champions Marseille tonight at Stamford Bridge after a superb 4-1 win over Slovenians MSK Zilina in Matchday One. Mi sing the suspended Didier Drogba, the Premier league winners strolled to victory easily.Marseille will provide a much stiffer test tonight for Carlo Ancelottis side, with ex-Chelsea favourite Didier Deschamps the manager at Stade Velodrome. The Ligue One winners po se s quality in players like Andre-Pierre Gignac,
Troy Brown Jersey Loic Remy, Steve Mandanda, Lucho Gonzalez and Benoit Cheyrou.If Chelsea are to win this competition, and lets face it thats what Roman Abramovich wants from his investment, they will have to defeat sides of Marseilles calibre.After an absolutely beautiful start to their Premier League defence, scoring 21 goals and conceding one, they lost their 100% record on Saturday. They suffered their first league defeat of the season when
Gunner Olszewski Jersey they went down 1-0 at Manchester City, but manager Carlo Ancelotti is not concerned by the blip.
I havent asked the players for a reaction. We just have to play our football, said the Italian bo s.We have to pay attention and get the points from this game. It is an important game for us to go to the top

To travel all the way to Ru sia, for their fans to go to so much ha sle acquiring VISAs and travel/accommodation etc only to see the team lose on penalties beggars belief.The Manchester United team that did lift the trophy that night is a much greater one than it is now in my opinion. With the lo s of Ronaldo, United seem to have lost a spark to their play
Mac Jones T Shirts . Jose Mourinhos Real Madrid will take time to get used to their new managers cautious tactics, and Inter Milan just wont be the same after the Portugueses departure.For me, that leaves the amazing FC Barcelona in Chelseas way. The Catalan giants are by far and away the best team in the world
Harvey Langi Jersey . No one can argue against the flair, skill and most of all work ethic of Pep Guardiolas team.What a final that would be, eh? Lionel Me si, Xavi and David Villa up against Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and John Terry for what has become the most prestigious trophy on the planet. Chelseas task here is absolutely huge. There are so many teams that could upset them.However, I just think the Blues have what it takes. With the experience and genius of Carlo Ancelotti managing them
New England Patriots Sleepwear Underwear , I believe 2010 is Chelseas year to lift the European Cup.With Wembley being awarded the host of this years final, it may well be destiny for Chelsea to become European kings.
