Dynamo are two behind. • The winner of this game wins the group; Porto will top it with a draw should Dynamo not win at home to Maccabi. If Dynamo win and this game is drawn, Chelsea finish second and Porto go into the UEFA Europa League. Previous meetings • Porto's victory in the reverse fixture was only their second in seven encounters; Chelsea have won four, including the previous three, each by a one-goal margin. • They faced each other in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League group stage when Chelsea came out on top home and away: both by 1-0 with Nicolas Anelka on target each time in the second half. • The lineups at Stamford Bridge on 25 November 2009 were: Chelsea: Čech, Ivanović, A Cole, Carvalho, Terry, Essien, Lampard, Ballack, Malouda, Kalou (Belletti 77), Anelka. Porto: Helton, Fucile, Rolando, Bruno Alves, Álvaro Pereira, Fernando, Mariano González (Falcao 54), Guarín, Raul Meireles, Rodríguez (Varela 64), Hulk. • Two years before, in the first knockout round, Chelsea held on for a 1-1 draw in Portugal before winning 2-1 at home. • In the 2004/05 group stage, Mourinho's first season with Chelsea having left Porto after guiding them to their 2004 UEFA Champions League triumph, Chelsea won 3-1 at Stamford Bridge while Porto prevailed 2-1 at home. Match background Chelsea • The London club began their 14th group stage campaign with a 4-0 home win over Maccabi. They bounced back from their loss at Porto by drawing 0-0 away and winning 2-1 at home against Dynamo, before another 4-0 triumph against Maccabi in Israel in their last fixture. • Last year Chelsea took seven points from their three home group games, winning their section for the ninth time in their last 12 campaigns. They finished runners-up in two other years and were eliminated in the group stage only once, in 2012/13.
