Chelsea will look for another magical performance from Ivorian striker Didier Drogba who contributed with goal in each of the last five matches of Chelsea in Europe. Along with Anelka, Drogba has formed a formidable attacking line up. Chelsea’s defense will receive a much-needed boost with Captain John Terry returning from suspension, but the Blues will miss their Portuguese centre back Ricardo Carvalho to injury. Another blow to Chelsea defense is the suspension of left back Ashley Cole who has been in revelation so far this season. Terry is expected to pair up with Alex in the middle of Chelsea defense. Branislav Ivanovic might take up the place of Ashley Cole in the left side of the defense.

In the last UEFA Champions League, Barcelona kicked out from the semi final by English giant Manchester United FC, even they did not get wins from any match against any English team in their home matches. FC Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola may be a little bit worry about it. I thing this semi-final will be very competitive and the fan will enjoy most.
