Chelsea need a positive result in Matchday 4 when Dynamo Kyiv comes to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea sit third in the Group G standings, one point behind Kyiv and two behind group leader Porto. Struggle doesn’t even begin to describe Chelsea this season, as the side is going through their worst run of form under Mourinho. Speculation is that while Mourinho won’t be sacked with a Chelsea loss Wednesday, a poor result combined with troubles on Saturday could spell the end for Mourinho.
Kyiv is having a strong season in the Ukranian league, and is unbeaten in group play. They scored a late equaliser in a 2-2 meeting with Porto, and won 2-0 in their visit to Maccabi.
