Schalke 04 are set to
host Chelsea tonight in the fifth week of the Champions League campaign.
Kick-off:
19:45 GMT
Venue:
Veltins-Arena
Referee:
Jonas
Eriksson (Sweden)
The home side are three
points behind the group leaders Chelsea but even a win will not take them to
top as Chelsea have a big goal difference.
Both the sides are yet
to secure a place in the round of 16 of the Champions League. A win for the
Blues will seal their spot for the next round.

lead the attack.
