Chelsea host APOEL Nicosia in their final Champions League group stage fixture.

Thanks to Nicolas Anelka's goal in Cyprus, the Blues emerged 1-0 victors to continue their 100% start to the European season. A 4-0 demolition and 2-2 draw with Atletico Madrid, and then a 1-0 win away in Porto ensured Chelsea's qualification as winners of Group D.

Carlo Ancelotti is likely to rest some key names having already qualified and with Everton arriving in West London the following Saturday, so it is an opportunity for the likes of Fabio Borini, Gael Kakuta and company to impress the manager heading into the Christmas period.

Chelsea have been imperious in Europe this season; unbeaten in five matches and having recorded four clean sheets. Sergio Aguero's two goals are the only ones Petr Cech has conceded in the competition, whilst Nicolas Anelka has scored three of Chelsea's nine goals thus far.

APOEL are on a very good run, and are unbeaten in eleven matches in the Cypriot league. Chelsea are scoring for fun, however, and with Ancelotti possibly resting a number of key players, it could be a very interesting encounter.

Can the Blues continue an unbeaten streak in Europe lasting thirteen months?
