Preview: Basel vs. Chelsea

Sports Mole looks ahead to Tuesday night's Champions League clash between Basel and Chelsea in Switzerland.

Chelsea can book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday with a draw against Basel in Switzerland.

Jose Mourinho's side are currently three points clear at the top of Group E thanks to three victories from their opening four fixtures.

However, third-placed Basel still have a good chance of progressing as they sit one point behind second-placed Schalke 04.

The Swiss outfit caused a major upset at the start of the group campaign with a surprise 2-1 victory over the Blues at Stamford Bridge.

Fernando Torres is expected to miss out for the visitors as he is still recovering from a leg injury, while Behrang Safari and Marcelo Diaz are unavailable for the hosts.
