Previous meetings • Chelsea have had the upper hand with four victories in the previous six encounters, Porto winning only one. The Londoners have won each of the last three – all by a single goal. • They last faced each other in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League group stage when Chelsea came out on top 1-0 through Nicolas Anelka's second-half goal. • The lineups at Estádio do Dragão on 25 November 2009 were: Porto: Beto, Săpunaru (Farías 79), Rolando, Bruno Alves, Álvaro Pereira, Fernando, Varela (Hulk 60), Belluschi (Guarín 71), Raul Meireles, Rodríguez , Falcao. Chelsea: Čech, Ivanović, Carvalho, Terry, Zhirkov, Ballack (Essien 68), Mikel Obi, Deco (J. Cole 76), Malouda, Anelka, Drogba. • Anelka was also on target with the only goal in the Stamford Bridge fixture that season. 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. Damien Duff was on the scoresheet as Porto prevailed 2-1 at home. Match background Porto • The 2003/04 and 1986/87 European Cup winners, who are in their 20th group stage campaign, were denied a winning start on matchday one when substitute Vitaliy Buyalskiy scored a last-minute equaliser for FC Dynamo Kyiv in a 2-2 draw. • They hope to improve on last season's run to the quarter-finals, where they lost to FC Bayern München (winning 3-1 at home, losing 6-1 away). • Julen Lopetegui's men won five and drew one of their six home games (including play-offs) in last season's competition, which featured a 6-0 thumping of FC BATE Borisov. They are unbeaten in their last 10 European home matches (W7 D3). • Porto last faced English opponents in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League round of 32, losing 2-1 at home to Manchester City FC and 4-0 away. They have played 30 games against English clubs in Europe with the record W6 D8 L16 (W6 D6 L3 at home). Chelsea • The Londoners, who are in their 14th group stage campaign, began with a 4-0 victory over Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC. • Last year, when they won their group for the ninth time in their last 12 campaigns, the Blues triumphed 1-0 at Sporting Clube de Portugal through Nemanja Matić's header.
