Don't be surprised to see Chelsea lose to Stuttgart. At home Stuttgart are savage and have only lost once at home all season.
They are a deceptively good side and are a good outside bet to win the CL outright. Chelsea look a bit uncreative lately and Joe Cole has been no replacement for Damien Duff who I reckon is their most influential player even ahead of Frank Lampard. Duff give Chelsea a chance on wednesday but on eman doesn't make a team.

On which planet? Stuttgart have won exactly one game since November 22nd. And its now the end of February!

At the time this draw was made, both sides were in first place. Now we've fallen off the pace, but Stuttgart's in an outright tailspin.

Even without Duff I think we'll get at least a draw in Stuttgart. The momentum they had when they beat ManUtd has long dissipated.

Stuttgart still have only lost once at home and that was to Leverkusen and are still keeping pace with the top two, they are third. They also have won since Nov. 22 they beat Rangers on the 26th and Hansa in January. There is a 3 week break in Germany so keep that in mind its hardly an outright tailspin compered to Chelsea.

Chelsea are pirennial underperformers and nothing this season has changed to prove me otherwise.

Yes, but they're pretty far back now.

So they won a month ago? I'm.....scared? And note, they haven't played any of the giants of the Bundesliga either. A 1-0 loss to Kaiserlslautern isn't exactly the same as a 2-1 loss to Arsenal.

I dont really care about your opinion on how we underperform. Stuttgart haven't performed in Europe period. And you are also likely forgetting Chelsea's run to the semis of the CL some years ago.
But that's OK. We'll see tomorrow.
