Shakhtar Donetsk host Chelsea in a potentially tricky match at the Donbass Arena tomorrow. Chelsea will go into the match with on a high after a hugely exciting 4-2 victory over London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Captain John Terry is likely to be in the starting line-up after serving the first of a 4-match domestic ban.
Shakhtar are certainly no push-overs after their exploits in Turin 2 weeks ago against Juventus. That game ended in 1-1 draw; but the team from Ukraine had an astonishing 60% possession away from home.
A win for Chelsea will take them three points clear at the top of the section, while Shakhtar could drop to third if Juventus defeats Nordsjaelland. Chelsea will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run in the Champions League to 9 consecutive matches, same also for Coach Roberto Di Matteo. In addition Chelsea has lost only 2 of their last 11 away group games. If John Terry is selected, he'll be seeking to score his 50th Chelsea goal.
