Jose Mourinho has named his strongest possible squad for tonight's match in Germany.
The odds available for Chelsea, are pretty much the same as for their away game at Barcelona and that cannot be correct. They still need one point to ensure their progress as group winners and will not want to leave, even qualification in doubt, until the final match, however easy that may look on paper.
I do not buy into Chelsea doing what they can to put Barce out, the Spanish champions seem certain to get their 3 points tonight and whatever happens in Bremen, Werder are going to have to avoid defeat in their final match and most likely win.
Jose loves all these mind games and as his team face a titanic battle with Manchester United at the weekend, he would see first place in the group as giving his side a psycological edge, especially after the United debacle last night.
Regardless, I do not see Chelsea losing and suggest these odds will drop during the day and it is unlikely they will be seen this big again this season. Werder have looked a little tired in recent outings and are without a couple of regulars today, Lampard is unavailable and will be replaced by Ballack, which tells you all you need to know.
4 points Chelsea +1/4 ball asian line 1.80.
Good Luck.
