Hema Kanani gives her thoughts on tomorrow night's thrilling clash of cultures as Chelsea face Inter Milan in the second leg of the Champions League first knockout phase.
The Blues trail Inter 2-1.
The tables have turned now, Mourinho is under immense pressure after losing to Catania at the weekend whilst Chelsea have gone from strength to strength since the John Terry affair.
They demolished their London city rivals West Ham 4 - 1 on Saturday and, as a result, Chelsea's morale has been boosted.
They must now be looking forward to dishing out the same punishment to ‘The Special One’.
There is one main issue that Chelsea face and that is the decision around their goalkeeper.
It’s being confirmed by Carlo Ancelotti that Ross Turnbull will play tomorrow.
The rookie, who has hardly played a first-team game for the Blues, will face a baptism of fire against Inter Milan.
The other question that needs to be asked is will Ancelotti play Joe Cole?
Due to injury and the system that Ancelotti is playing, Joe Cole seems to have found a permanent place on the bench.
This can’t be good for Joe or Chelsea.
With David Beckham just about ruled out of the World Cup through injury, Cole must be desperate to play to show Fabio Capello what he’s missing.
Chelsea must be aware of Inter's counter attack from Sneijder and Balotelli and be prepared for Inter to get 11 men behind the ball.
It will be a good game to watch with some fascinating goals I am sure.
There is no way that Inter is going to hand the game to Chelsea on a plate.
Inter won’t train at Stamford Bridge tonight. Instead they remained in Italy to finalise their preparation.
Mourinho is clearly worried that Chelsea spies would be on hand to check over Inter’s tactics.
Is this a case of Jose showing his nervousness?
All be will revealed tomorrow evening.
I’m going for a Chelsea win and progression to the quarter-finals but it’s going to be tight.
