Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is aiming to win his third Champions League title in as many weeks when his side start this year's campaign against Schalke at Stamford Bridge tonight.
Striker Didier Drogba could feature in the first 11 for the opening group G game after recovering from an ankle injury, while Petr Cech is hoping for a start after being displaced by Thibault Courtios
The Blues also played Schalke in the group stages of last season's Champions League winning 3-0 both home and away.
They'll be anticipating a positive result against a side which sits only 16th in the Bundesliga.
Tonight's game is live on Sky Sports 1 and Sky 1 from 7pm, with kick off at 7.45pm
