Our prediction: Porto v Chelsea

Chelsea certainly shouldn't underestimate a Porto side who have conceded just once at home in four Champions League games this season - although Wednesday's game will actually be played in Seville.

They've also won their last three league matches and have repeatedly performed well in Europe this term.

Despite that, Chelsea will want to show Saturday's thumping loss at Stamford Bridge was a one-off, and will hope to return to their usual defence-savvy selves.

Our prediction: Porto 0-1 Chelsea (5/1 at bet365)
