AS Roma vs. Chelsea Football Club

_39531351_duff_ap.jpg
Chelsea crushed Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in 2003.

Chelsea travel to Italy with the possibility of guaranteeing progression into the knock-out rounds of the Champions League.

5 years to the day of a famous Chelsea victory in Italy, Luiz Felipe Scolari takes his side to Rome to face Italian giants AS Roma. Despite a faltering start to their league campaign, players such as Francesco Totti, Mirko Vucinic, Rodrigo Taddei and Daniele de Rossi will be looking to get their season kick-started in the right direction.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are flying high in Europe and in their own domestic league, and are top of Group A and the Premier League thanks to their superior goal difference in both competitions.

Five years to the day of this fixture, Chelsea went to Italy searching for a much-needed win in the Champions League in a game against Lazio. In the Olimpic Stadium, the Blues won 4-0 - the biggest winning margin by a foreign team on Italian soil that has since been equalled by Arsenal. Can the Blues emulate the score line under Claudio Ranieri to ensure qualification for the next round with two games remaining?

I feel quite confident about this game, to be honest, Roma can't sit back and defend because they're at home, and Italian fans are quite happy to vent their frustration at sides when they lose. I think it was in 2006 in a match between Siena and Udinese, that Siena didn't have one shot on goal and at full-time they were met by a volley of coins and bottles. They're going to have to attack us and the pace and quality we have up front will make them pay. If they score first they will shut up shot and play for the 1-0 win, but if we score first then they have no choice but to come at us and we will play them off the park for that reason. Either way, they've been shit, so far this season, and we should win.

Hopefully Riise will come on in the 2nd half and score for us. Exactly like he did as a Liverpool player. :P

:lol:

They have some excellent players on the bench. Watch out for 'Rigo Taddei.

Enjoy the game, people, I'm going to watch it at the pub down the road, couple of Blues in there ;)
