Valencia vs Chelsea, UEFA Champions League 2019-20: Match Preview

In the first leg between the two sides at the Stamford Bridge back in August, the new-looking Chelsea side were still coming to terms in their life under Frank Lampard. Valencia took full advantage of the host team’s awkward mistakes and went home with an important away victory.

But two months later, the tides have turned and Chelsea have found their feet and success in both domestic and European competitions.

The young Chelsea side won seven consecutive away matches and six straight Premier League games before losing 2-1 to Manchester City this weekend. However, Lampard will be satisfied with how his youngsters performed against the strongest English side.

Valencia, on the other hand, have had a season that were filled with mixed emotions. Despite struggling at 10th in La Liga, there is a belief that Albert Celades’ side are improving under his brief leadership.

The 2-1 defeat against Real Betis was the first for Valencia in their last five games and given their current upsurge in the form they will be the favourites in today’s clash.

Group H is witnessing a tight contest as three teams, Chelsea, Valencia and Ajax, are in a similar position with seven points from four games. A draw between Chelsea and Valencia will keep both in the contention, while a defeat could potentially end the campaign.

Valencia: Kevin Gameiro could be given a start by Celades at a time when the home team will miss the service of their Russian international Denis Cheryshev. There could also be a start for Eliaquim Mangala.

Chelsea: Lampard will go back to Mason Mount after dropping him from the starting eleven against City, on Saturday, which means Christian Pulisic could be left out.

Emerson might also be dropped with Fikayo Tomori coming in place of him and Cesar Azpilicueta switching to the left flank. Lampard will also have a sweet headache as Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ross Barkley and Andreas Christensen are all match-fit and eager to start.
