Di Matteo seeks defensive solidity
John Terry will return to the Chelsea starting line-up for the crucial Champions League Group E clash against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Blues manager Roberto Di Matteo is keen to bolster a leaky defence that has conceded 10 goals during Terry's four-match domestic suspension. Chelsea, who were beaten 2-1 in Ukraine a fortnight ago, are 1/1 with bet365 to gain revenge and win at Stamford Bridge against Shakhtar, a result that would enhance their chances of qualifying for the last-16 of this season's competition. Di Matteo said: "John is an important player for us and a fantastic defender, and when he plays he always does very well. The other players have done fantastic jobs when they have come in, but certainly JT is a player that we miss." Chelsea trail Shakhtar, 11/4 to win the Stamford Bridge clash, by three points going into the game, and they still have to travel to face Juventus. Manchester United and Celtic are also involved in Champions League action and bet365 have another fantastic free bet offer to add to the excitement.
