The first meeting of these teams (in the 3rd round of the Champions League) ended with a score of 3: 3, and even how events developed in that game! Chelsea led 2-0, but failed to close the match and missed as many as 3 goals in return. Fortunately for the "blue", Eden Azar still equalized the score.

After the game, the British press of various degrees of credibility filled with headlines about the imminent departure of Antonio Conte from Chelsea. The Italian, they say, can not find a common language with the team, and the players do not like the coaching methods of Antonio.

Conte once exploded, saying that the press is too much nonsense, but still his main answer was on the football field. Chelsea showed a 100% result, winning in the League Cup against Everton (this match we leave behind the brackets due to not the most basic composition of Londoners), as well as in the submarine at Watford and Bournemouth. Yes, in a meeting with Watford, "retired" could well lose, but let's remember what made the result in that game? Correctly, the replacement of Antonio Conte: all three of the substituting players took part in goals. The game with Bournemouth was also not simple: the "cherries" with the whole team closed in their half of the field, but Eden Azar once again made a result for the "blue".

As for Roma, the Romans won 3 wins in Serie A, and all with the same score - 1: 0. Torino, Crotone and Bologna were injured. Accounts are not enchanting, to put it mildly, but most importantly - 9 points.

The highlight of the match should be the reaction of the fans to the center Chelsea Antonio Rudiger, who last season played for Rom. I remember last winter the Tiffozy "wolves" supported Antonio, who, because of racism, insulted Lazio's midfielder Senad Lulic. And now what? A year has not passed since they themselves publish monkey cries to the former idol. Simply amazing! But let's see how Antonio will behave not as a separate group of fans, but filled with the Stadium of Olympic.

Contrary to all expectations, now the main contenders for the exit from the group are Roma and Chelsea, but Atletico made his competitors a royal gift, playing a draw with an absolute outsider in Karabakh. Nevertheless, the teams are unlikely to play for a draw, because in this case, the "mattress" will come up too close.

The trainers say:.

Eusebio Di Francesco, Roma: "In the away match with Chelsea, we stayed true to our style, we will also play at home. As I said after the match in London, the mood should be the same - this will be a starting point for us. I can assure that everyone is ready. I can put on the same line-up as in the Saturday match against Bologna. The only exception is Nainggolan, I confirm that he will definitely get into the starting lineup. Has not decided yet on which position he will play. You will learn everything tomorrow! But, of course, will be played by those who are able to defeat Chelsea ".

Antonio Conte, Chelsea: "The match with Roma at Stamford Bridge was emotional. I think the result is fair. We are waiting for another match against a very heavy opponent, so we must do our best. Atletico and Roma play in our group - two very strong and good teams. It is very important to remain in the first place in the Champions League group, because our goal is a successful performance in all tournaments ".
