Chelsea Odds:7/1
Strengths: Desperate to avenge last year's heart wrenching defeat in the final and also with new manager Guus Hiddink- a shrewd knockout tactician-taking over the reins, Chelsea are revitalised and supremely motivated. Against Aston Villa they looked to be back to their defensive best and if the movement clicks upfront, goals will come with it.
Weaknesses: When Chelsea's full backs were stopped under Scolari they often looked clueless. Teams would park infront of their goal and force Chelsea to play through them, consequently they struggled. When Anleka and Drogba don't perform they lack goals and if they lose the first leg of a tie I think they can be stopped.
Key Player: Frank Lampard. Crucial to orchestrate Chelsea's passing and creativity. Alongside Deco and Ballack Chelsea have a truly formidable midfield which will destroy any team not at their best. Lampard is needed for his set-pieces and vital goals from midfield.
