Chelsea may be dealing with a long injury list, but a fourth win in succession is at their doorstep.
The Blues return to Champions League action on Wednesday night and take on an Ajax side that seemingly hasn’t recovered from last season’s dramatic late collapse.
The visitors are now led by Johnny Heitinga, who some Chelsea supporters may remember as the Everton defender who barged into Ashley Cole before the left back missed his penalty in a FA Cup shootout back in 2011. Heitinga has since served as David Moyes and Arne Slot’s assistant in the Premier League, but he’s now feeling the heat as the main man.
It was a belting affair when these two sides previously met five years ago, with Chelsea fighting back from 4–1 down to earn a 4–4 draw. However, the gulf in quality between these two teams means such drama isn’t expected on Wednesday night.
