Morale isn't exactly high amongst the Blues at the moment but they have an exciting week ahead as they play in the last 16 of both the FA Cup and the Champions League.The former should be far more straight-forward than the later with a home tie against Birmingham City far easier to win than an away match against Napoli but it is likely that Villas-Boas will prepare for both with similar rigour as it is performances as well as results that count for Chelsea at the moment. The manager is likely to make several changes to the team that lost 2-0 to Everton last weekend for the clash with the Championship side on Saturday and that could mean a return to the starting line-up for John Terry, Gary Cahill, Oriel Romeu and Florent Malouda. Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou are expected to be given some more time to recover from the African Nations Cup so that they are fit to face Napoli.Chelsea should really have nothing to worry about against Birmingham as the Blues weakness this season has been a porous defence and their opponents are struggling for goals at the moment. Chris Hughton's side have only scored once in their last three matches and they will find it difficult to make inroads at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. They are 11/1 at Stan James to spring an upset but if they can't score then they won't win.It is 1/3 at Coral that Chelsea win this weekend, which looks very short, but 11/10 with the same firm that the home side win to nil. This looks like fantastic value as not only will Villas-Boas be keen for his side to win with a minimum of fuss but he will be keen for them to keep a clean sheet, which will increase confidence ahead of Tuesday's trip to the San Paolo.RecommendationWin to Nil - Chelsea (11/10, Coral) Read our BetVictor review Get your free £100 bet at BetVictor now Like Like Post to wall 130 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles Chelsea FC win 2011-12 FA Cup05 May 2012Chelsea won the 2011-12 FA Cup after beating Liverpool 2-1 in a thrilling final in which Didier Dro FA Cup Final Result – Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-105 May 2012Didier Drogba continued his remarkable Wembley record as Chelsea denied Liverpool a domestic cup do The 7 Best Pictures on FA Cup Final Day05 May 2012Liverpool and Chelsea fans have descended on Wembley for what promises to be a memorable FA Cup fin Chelsea FC team to play Liverpool FC in FA Cup final (confirmed)05 May 2012Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has opted to start Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard for this eveni FA Cup Final 2012: Pepe Reina attacks Chelsea's treatment of Fernando Torres05 May 2012Pepe Reina believes his former Liverpool team-mate Fernando Torres has not been given enough suppor FA Cup final 2012: Petr Cech prepared for penalties05 May 2012Petr Cech has revealed he will rely more on guesswork than homework if the FA Cup Final between Che More Stories Recent Articles WTA Strasbourg Final live - Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet25 May 2012Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet are scheduled to meet on Saturday for an eagerly anticipated Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Spain25 May 2012Spain have the best draw and a powerful performer but they face an uphill struggle to win Eurovisio Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Germany25 May 2012Germany's entry is one of the most professional of Eurovision 2012 but it Roman Lob's song Standing Irish 2000 Guineas Betting Tips - Who'll Win the Irish 2000 Guineas?25 May 2012Trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for four of the 11 colts that will go to post for Saturday's I Norway v England First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's internat League One Play-off Final First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's League O More Stories Tags Chelsea FC V Birmingham City Betting Tips, Chelsea FC V Birmingham City Preview, Chelsea FC V Birmingham City Tips, FA Cup Betting Tips
