New-look Chelsea Win Without Clean Sheets

Mourinho used to prioritise defensive solidity, but he now seems happy to have his current crop play like his old Real Madrid outfit - with a swagger.

Although Chelsea beat Schalke 3-0 in both Champions League clashes between the sides a year ago, we should expect the Germans to score in defeat this time round at best odds of 5/2 with Bet365.

The Londoners have won all four of their Premier League fixtures in 2013-14 but have conceded six times in the process; the only clean sheet, against Leicester, was very fortuitous.

Meanwhile, the Bundesliga side are yet to win after four games in all competitions this season, but they have found the net in every encounter.

With Jose Mourinho likely to have one eye on the huge weekend clash with Manchester City if things are going well, the hosts could be a little sloppy at the back again to secure us this bet at much better odds than the straight victory (1/3 Boylesports).
