Chelsea get this game underway!
Less than a fortnight after Chelsea made light work of Malmo at Stamford Bridge, winning 4-0, these two teams face off again in Sweden. Chelsea will want to rack up a similar victory here to keep the pressure on an eminently catchable Juventus side at the top of Group H.
Malmo's hopes of progressing to the Champions League knockout phase look slim. The Swedes sit bottom of Group H with zero points, having yet to score and having conceded more goals than any other team in the competition so far this season. An upset here feels highly unlikely but stranger things have happened in football!
