The other clash on Tuesday sees Chelsea and there more direct approach travel to Greece where many English clubs and fans dread going to play Olympiakos, Keany and Colin must hope the hostile atmosphere in the stadium won’t affect the performance of the money spinning Chelsea side.
On Wednesday as the venture is made to Phil’s via the Wessex English champions Man United visit French counterparts Lyon. Lyon have a tendency in recent years to do well in this competition but with the talent United have over two legs it may seem a challenge to hard for even the onion smelling snail eating French to achieve.
