Nicholas Anelka scored the only goal of the game as Porto’s last trip to Stamford Bridge ended in defeat.
Player to watch…
Willian: The Brazilian is Chelsea’s top scorer in all competition this season (6) and has scored four of them in the Champions League. With the likes of Diego Costa and Eden Hazard underperforming, Willian will need to produce a big performance if Chelsea are to guarantee their place in the last 16.
