Match Preview:
It is a must win for both Juventus and Chelsea, as they chase that elusive second spot in Group E this evening in a crucial clash from the Juventus Arena.
A tie for the English side would suffice, whereas a loss would make things very complicated. The Blues will be hoping to avoid the dubious distinction of becoming the first defending champions in tournament history to exit at the group stages.
Just a single point separates the top three in the group, as Juventus are one-point behind Chelsea on six points. The Italian giants will look to snatch all the three points after coming from behind at Stamford Bridge the last time these two sides met in September.
Can Chelsea get the win and all but assure themselves qualification into the knockout stages? Or will the Bianconeri get the win in front of their home fans?
