However, Chelsea will be jetting out to face Apoel Nicosia and they are strong favourites (1/3 Blue Square) to come away with all three points. The Blues were surprisingly beaten 3-1 by Wigan on Saturday and will be keen to get this defeat out of their system as quickly as possible. Sky Bet offer 10/11 that the west London side not only win the match but also keep a clean sheet.

Petr Cech was sent off at the DW Stadium, although he’s likely to feature between the sticks in this game. Perhaps Branislav Ivanovic will come in at the expense of Ricardo Carvalho, especially as Chelsea have a tough match against Liverpool on Sunday. For many of the Apoel players, this will be the biggest game of their career to date and bet365 offer 11/1 that the Cypriot champions inflict a second defeat on the Blues in the space of a few days. It should be noted that they managed a goalless draw away to Atletico Madrid and Boylesports’ 4/1 that this game ends all square is interesting.

The home side also won matches against EB Streymur, Partizan Belgrade and FC Copenhagen to reach the group stages, and the Polish pair of Kamil Kosowski (50/1 Ladbrokes) and Marcin Zewlakow (14/1 Ladbrokes) will need to be properly shackled by Chelsea. For the visitors, this could be a game which sees Joe Cole return to the fray and the left winger is 9/1 (Coral) to make an immediate impact by opening the scoring. Yuri Zhirkov might also start after a long injury lay-off and the Russian is 16/1 (Blue Square) to be first name on the scoresheet.

With Nicosia looking to keep things tight and continue their unbeaten start in the group stages, a low goal count (21/20 totesport) could be the order of the day. Nevertheless, an early goal from Chelsea would immediately open the game up and Nicolas Anelka (9/2 Sky Bet) will be looking for an early breakthrough. Didier Drogba is still suspended and that could see Florent Malouda (11/1 Ladbrokes) take up a more advanced position on the pitch. Correct scorelines of 1-0 and 2-0 in favour of the Blues could be the best option at respective odds of 6/1 (totesport) and 11/2 (Boylesports).
