Spartak Moskva vs Chelsea: Will The Luzhniki Stadium Haunt The Blues?
Chelsea return to the Luzhniki Stadium to face Spartak Moskva in the Champions League tonight. Will the venue and the pitch give Ancelotti’s men the blues?
Chelsea and Spartak Moskva have 6 points in Group F and they both stand an opportunity to all but seal their passage into the Round of 16. Despite being without Drogba and Lampard for this important match, the Blues are still superior to their opponents on paper. However, Tuesday’s home side could benefit from the spirit of the Luzhniki Stadium and eventually play the trick against the visitors, Chelsea.
