CFR Cluj versus Chelsea F.C.

Champions League, Matchday 2, 1 October 2008, 19:45 KO, live on Sky Sports.

Chelsea head to Romania to face competition new-boys Cluj.

On their Champions League bow, the Romanian side beat AS Roma 2-1 in the Stadio Olimpico, and see themselves second in the group behind their opponents; Chelsea. The Blues breezed past the Girondins de Bordeaux and whilst Luiz Felipe Scolari will be cautious with his side's approach to playing Cluj, Chelsea will no doubt be favourites to take early control of the group with three points.

Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Florent Malouda and Nicolas Anelka got the ball rolling for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a 4-0 win. Since the victory over Bordeaux, the Blues have gone on to draw 1-1 with Manchester United and crush Portsmouth 0-4 at Fratton Park, before heading to the midlands to face Stoke City. Cluj showed their determination to impress by coming from behind in Rome to win 2-1, but with 18 goals scored in their opening seven matches of the season, and just three conceded, the Blues look a safe bet for group qualification, even at this early stage.
