Chelsea will look to rebound after a loss on matchday 1 in the Champions League as they travel to face Lille. Live Soccer TV's match preview provides match facts, team news, and global broadcast listings for Lille vs Chelsea.

Preview: Lille vs Chelsea

Chelsea come into this game having finally won their first home Premier League game, and Frank Lampard's side will hoep to use that as positive momentum ahead of their trip to Lille. The Blues also beat lower-tier side Grimsby Town 7-1 in the League Cup, making it back to back wins across all competitions for the London giants following their 2-1 reversal to Liverpool and they'll be keen on getting back to winning ways following their frustrating loss to Valencia on matchday one in the Champions League.

The defeat marked Chelsea's first ever loss to the Spanish outfit in seven ties, and given that the Blues actually have a pretty fairly balanced quartet (with Ajax rounding out the group), it's important that Lampard's young side start picking up points quickly.

Meanwhile, their upcoming opponents, Lille, also lost their group stage opener and will be looking to end their long winless streak on home turf that extends all the way back to October 2006.
