Chelsea will have to put the Manchester City loss behind them right away this week as they get set to defend their Champions League title once again.

Having won their first match of the group stages against Zenit, they now have the tough challenge of taking on Italian giants, Juventus.

Juventus though are not enjoying a good start to the new season, sitting down in 6th position in the league after having won 2, drawn 2, and lost 2 in the new campaign so far.

So their form is questionable, but it will be a very hard match all the same. Perhaps though a boost for Chelsea is the fact they will be without two key attackers, one of which is a former Chelsea player, according to Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano.

Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala will both be missing from the clash, and I’m sure this will be pleasing to the ears of Blues fans.
