FC Copenhagen v Chelsea
Blackpool v Spurs
Despite Chelsea's struggles, or maybe because of them, I am expecting a 2-0 Chelsea win tonight. I don't know much about Copenhagen other than Gronkjaer plays for them. He's a regular for them, and at 33 that perhaps tells you what you need to know about the standard of Danish club football. Perhaps I am doing them a disservice after all they qualified from their group.
If Chelsea lose heavily, they will be able to concentrate on getting that 4th spot, but their confidence will be shot to pieces. I really hope they do get beat, because I can see City dropping points in unexpected games due to the fixture congestion and we can do without a resurgent Chelsea. They maybe ageing, but surely they have enough to finish this season strongly. They are the only team in the Premiership who I could see winning 6-7 games on the trot.
Surely Spurs will comfortably beat Blackpool? Blackpool were playing well when we played them, but the wheels seem to have fallen off, and they remind me of Hull who once hey started losing couldn't stop. In fact they are worse because they are so wide open it's too easy to score against them. Big game for Blackpool. If they win, or even draw then they can kickstart their season, but lose and the writing is on the wall.
