In the 2nd Leg of the Chelsea vs Steaua Europa League last 16 tie we will have a great game on our hands as the away side are leading 1-0 as they pay a visit to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea will be buzzing with a turn around draw against Manchester United in the FA Cup and they will be looking to keep the momentum going and they will have to win with 2 goals margin to make it to the next round. Chelsea form this season has been very disapointing although they have some great players in the squad they are missing out on the chemistry on the pitch.

Fernando Torres have not scored in the 2013 year so far, while Damba Ba is a shadow of a player he was at Newcastle United and it shows that it is not all to blame Torres, Chelsea's style of football is different they have some great attacking midfielders who likes to make runs into the boxes instead of playing to striker.
