Preview: Chelsea vs. Galatasaray

Sports Mole previews Tuesday's second leg between Chelsea and Galatasaray in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Didier Drogba will make his long-awaited return to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night when Galatasaray face his former club Chelsea in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

The Ivorian is sure to get a stirring reception from the Chelsea faithful following his eight-year association with the Blues.

However, the odds are stacked against his current employers to reach the quarter-finals following a 1-1 draw in the first leg two weeks ago.

A goalless draw will see Chelsea through to the last eight of the competition thanks to Fernando Torres's important away goal at the Turk Telekom Arena.

David Luiz is expected to return for the hosts following a muscle injury, but Ashley Cole is likely to sit the match out after missing training on Monday. Emre Colak and Aydin Yilmaz are both absent for the away side.
