Chelsea v Juventus Live

Chelsea welcome Serie A giants Juventus to Stamford Bridge as the two sides clash in the first leg of the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League and you can watch all the action here at www.oleolefootball.com from 19:45 GMT on Wednesday 25^th February with the champions league live online.

A revitalised Chelsea side lead by new boss Guus Hiddink claimed a precious 1-0 victory over high flying Aston Villa on the weekend and are sure to take the morale boost right through to the tie against Juventus this week. The London club only managed to finish second in Group A of the Champions League qualification groups behind table toppers Roma. Chelsea have lost just twice at home since early 2006, with Arsenal and Liverpool both destroying their tremendous run with away wins this season.

The tie also sees the return of former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri to Stamford Bridge for the first time since he left the club in 2004, although the Italian insists there are no hard feelings between him and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich.

Juventus breezed through their qualification group as they finished unbeaten and top of a tough Group H ahead of the likes of Real Madrid and Zenit St. Petersburg. The Serie A giants will prove a formidable opponent after disposing of Real Madrid twice in the group stages thanks to Italian veteran Alessandro del Piero. Surprisingly Juve and Chelsea have never met in a competitive fixture before despite both clubs having a rich history in European football.

Can a revitalised Chelsea under new boss Guus Hiddink gain an early upper hand with a first leg victory? Or will Ranieri’s return to Stamford Bridge put more misery on the Chelsea faithful.
