Chelsea are seeking a win against Ajax tonight which would see the Blues take a huge stride towards the Champions League knockout stages.
Frank Lampard's Blues started Group H with a home defeat to Valencia, but victories at Lille and then Ajax have see them top the table with six points.
With Valencia favourites vs Lille in Tuesday's other tie, whoever loses at Stamford Bridge is likely to enter matchday five sitting outside the top two, and facing an uphill battle to reach the last-16.
Chelsea have not been at their best at home this season: in all competitions, they have won three times, draw twice, and lost three times, but recovered from a Carabao Cup exit to Manchester United with a win at Watford on Saturday. The big question though is whether they can finally deliver a big performance at home.

Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Ajax
The Blues will fancy their chances of beating Ajax again after leaving Amsterdam with three points, but that game could easily have gone either way - and with Valencia not far behind, the Dutch giants will go all out for a result in west London.
