This afternoon at 5pm GMT the draw for this seasons Champions League will be made in Monaco. Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea side will soon find out who we will face in the group stages beginning Sept 14/15th.
With the Premiership Title and FA Cup in the bag last season Chelsea will want to add the Champions League Trophy and win the competition for the very first time and it's moments like this draw today that can have a major effect on our chances as we will want to avoid the group of death that always makes an appearance.
The Teams will be drawn from the below. Remember at this stage, no club can drawn against another side from the same league so Tottenham will not be drawn against us. The pots are detailed below.
Pot One Inter Milan, Barcelona, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Lyon.
Pot Two Werder Bremen, Real Madrid, Roma, Shakhtar Donetsk, Benfica, Valencia, Marseille, Panathinaikos.
Pot Three Tottenham, Rangers, Ajax, Schalke, Basle, Braga, FC Copenhagen, Spartak Moscow.
Pot Four Hapoel Tel Aviv, FC Twente, Rubin Kazan, Auxerre, CFR Cluj, Partizan Belgrade, MSK Zilina, Bursaspor.
Anyone fancy Panathinaikos, FC Copenhagen and MSK Zilina? Of course the nightmare draw for us would be, Real Madrid, Ajax, Ruben Kazan.
We just need to avoid Real Madrid at all costs, but UEFA being UEFA as we all know I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool came out by accident in our group or Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho will be waiting for us!
News of the draw will follow later when it is made!.
